We are proud to announce the availability in Italy of Tamashii lenses by Ancient Optics.
Tamashii is a set of 12 full frame prime lenses: 18mm, 22mm, 26mm, 29mm, 36mm, 42mm, 52mm, 58mm, 72mm,88mm, 110mm and 140mm. Tamashii is the result of a combined effort between Old Fast Glass, Zero Optik, and Ancient Optics, bringing together vintage lens expertise, precision rehousing, and global distribution into a single, distinctive cinematic tool.
Tamashii lenses have a soulful, cinematic character: no chromatic aberration, they handle tough light beautifully and flare in vivid purple, peach, blue, and amber. Their smooth, textured bokeh keeps the subject in focus while delivering strong separation, making them perfect for shooting wide open.
As part of the Ancient Alliance, Tamashii offers cinematographers a unique, character‑driven look that is available only through a selected network of rental houses around the world.
