The Cooke Panchro Classics lenses are a modern reimagining of the legendary Cooke Speed Panchro lenses from the mid-20th century, revered for their beautiful, organic rendering, creamy bokeh, and precise color reproduction.  We carry the original Cooke Panchros expertly rehoused by TLS as well as the reissued S35 sets
