Super Baltars

Bausch and Lomb Super Baltars, iconic glass built in the 1960’s utilized on such films as “The Godfather” and TV series like “Star Trek” (TOS). There is nothing quite like a Super Baltar. They exhibit a warm tone, soft edges, distinctive flares, and a textured bokeh, making them a popular choice for filmmakers seeking to evoke a classic vintage aesthetic.

This set of Super Baltars is offered in their original vintage housings with PL mounts and gears. With a generous “Super 35+” image circle coverage across most focal length these lenses are right at home on modern sensors. The 75mm and 100mm lenses cover full frame.
