From their distinctive rendering and beautiful fall-off to the unique character they can add to an image, Nikon AI lenses continue to offer cinematographers a powerful creative tool.

🎬 Hear from Burak Turan who has experienced them in action and discover what makes these lenses so compelling for modern filmmaking.

🏆 Emmy Awards 2026 | Celebrating Spider Noir

A huge congratulations to Darran Tiernan, ISC, on winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Series (One Hour) for Spider-Noir.
We’re incredibly proud that TLS rehoused Canon Rangefinder lenses played a part in creating the distinctive visual language of the series.

For Spider-Noir, Darran tested a number of vintage lens options before ultimately choosing the Canon Rangefinder primes, helping create the authentic, atmospheric look that brought the series’ noir aesthetic to life.

The lenses were hired from Keslow Camera, and we’re delighted to see them contribute to such an outstanding piece of cinematography.

Congratulations, Darran and to the entire Spider-Noir team on this well-deserved recognition! 🎬🏆

Have you been thinking about rehousing your own lenses?

TLS can transform vintage stills glass into professional cinema lenses — retaining the optical character you love while adding the reliability, functionality and usability required for modern productions.
