News Summary:

True Lens Services (TLS) recently reduced the turnaround time for its lens rehousing services to approximately three months as of April 12, 2026, citing improved efficiency, investment in capabilities, and sustained demand. This shorter lead time aims to assist cinematographers and rental houses with production planning. Earlier, on April 8, TLS introduced a new 48mm focal length to its Canon Rangefinder series, expanding its rehoused lens lines, and extended a limited-time set offer for the series until April 19. Previously, TLS celebrated its 25th anniversary with an event held at CVP London on March 26, 2026. In March, the company collaborated with cinematographer Egor Povolotskiy to rehouse a rare 1970s lens for a creative project, viewing it as an effort to preserve optical history. Earlier in February 2026, TLS launched Vega65 and kicked off its 25th-anniversary celebrations at BSC Expo 2026 in London, showcasing new developments and discussing modern large-format cinematography demands.
