For over 100 years, Cooke has been at the centre of the filmmaking business. We've been listening to the community of which we are a part. We lead by introducing new products such as /i Technology, and we remember our success is built on a simple idea - do what the filmmaker needs. Our factory in Leicester, England has generations from the same family working side by side. That experience is un-beaten anywhere. We manufacture a full range of primes and zooms for 35mm, digital and Super 16mm photography, plus a range of large format stills lenses. At the heart of what makes Cooke special is the "Cooke Look". The Cooke Look® is about the science of creating beautiful images for the motion picture industry.

COOKE

Keith Truslove and Colin Sanders founded True Lens Services 15 years ago, bringing a wealth of industry knowledge to meet the demands of high-end filmmakers and videographers by providing bespoke lens innovation and servicing. TLS is now recognised worldwide for its lens innovation, with an unbeatable reputation in the design, manufacture and servicing of lenses.
TLS can convert, service and repair film, broadcast and projection lenses from a wide variety of manufacturers. Whether it is updating vintage lenses to work with modern equipment, preventative maintenance or the repair of damaged worn lenses, the design, test and setup equipment available at TLS allows our service engineers to quickly diagnose faults in order to rectify and return each lens to full working order with minimum inconvenience.
TLS's in-house Design and CNC workshop supports the lens department, and is capable of bespoke product design and manufacturing. In addition to lens servicing and conversions, TLS also produces a complete range of its own matte boxes, mechanical supports, adaptor rings and associated camera mounts and fixings for all high-end acquisition equipment. Additional support services include repairing grip equipment, tripods, heads, jibs and regular preventative maintenance.
Since the 2014 acquisition by Procam, the UK’s largest cinematography and camera rental facility, significant investments have been made in TLS to increase staffing, in-house specialist training and expand the already comprehensive product range.
Keith and Colin are proud to introduce key members of the growing team: Gavin Whitehurst specialising in lens engineering and design, and Stephen Lowe, lens servicing. With such strong leadership, TLS will continue in its mission to provide world renowned lens servicing and innovation for generations to come.
