The TLS Vega65 is touted to be where modern imaging meets character. The lenses were conceived, engineered, and built in-house by the TLS design team. According to TLS, every decision is deliberate and every tolerance exact. The material was selected for performance and convenience.
Vega65 is a complete, unified lens system comprising nine focal lengths from 24mm to 165mm.
- 24mm T2.5
- 30mm T1.9
- 35mm T1.9
- 45mm T1.9
- 60mm T1.9
- 70mm T1.9
- 105mm T1.9
- 127mm T1.9
- 165mm T2.7
Sensor Coverage & Scale
The Vega65 features a purpose-built large-format optical design. Light is said to move cleanly and efficiently through the lens, delivering true 65mm sensor coverage for the latest generation of large-format cameras. Every focal length is engineered to maintain consistent image characteristics, ensuring seamless visual continuity across the entire set.
The lenses have controlled depth and separation, with a smooth fall-off.
The Vegaa65 lenses all feature exceptional close-focus performance, allowing filmmakers to work closer to the subject without sacrificing optical integrity or character.
Light & Compact
Vega65 is designed to remain compact and well-balanced for a 65-format lens system, prioritising practical handling and agility on set. Its mechanical design prioritises practicality and reliability across a wide range of shooting configurations. The lenses weigh between 1.38kg / 4.1 lb and 2.09kg / 4.61 lb, depending on the focal length. They also feature a unified 110mm front diameter.
Each lens is precisely matched in focus and iris gear positions and carefully tuned for consistent handling and visual character, allowing for efficient lens changes and a seamless on-set experience.
Built to Adapt
Vega is designed as a long-term system. Existing Vega FF sets can be upgraded to Vega65 via a dedicated upgrade kit, while Vega65 lenses can also be converted back to full-frame with an additional kit if required.
This modular approach allows filmmakers and rental houses to invest with confidence.
Vega History
The Vega story started in 2017, when the first TLS Vega lens came to life. Born from years of rehousing expertise and close collaboration with filmmakers, Vega marked a turning point for TLS: this was the moment they began creating their own lenses, entirely in-house. Those early Vega lenses were shaped by a clear intention: to pair modern sensor performance with character, consistency, and uncompromising mechanical precision.
