ancient optics

“We only preserve the lenses we love. The optical characteristics and general performance must meet our criteria to be considered an Ancient Optic lens.

All our inventory is carefully selected by hand, and only the best copies are considered for rehousing. 

Our partnerships with trusted and proven vendors like TLS, GL Optics, and Zero Optik ensures all our lenses are reliable, serviceable, and beautiful.

  • TLS

  • GL OPTICS

  • ZERO OPTIK

We test relentlessly and push the optics to their limits.

We always honor the original donor glass housings in our final design. Each set is a unique work of art, built to last another 50 + years of life on set.
