The Fuji EBC Primes set, rehoused by TLS, offers a range of focal lengths including 19, 24, 28, 35, 50, 70, 100, and 135mm.

These lenses, originally introduced in 1971, are full-frame SLR lenses known for their unconventional, compact, and fast designs, embodying the desired characteristics of vintage cinema lenses.

Fuji's innovative Electron Beam Coatings (EBC) apply up to 11 ultra-thin layers of metallic coatings to a single glass surface, creating distinctive purple, red, and gold flares.

Each lens in this set provides excellent center sharpness with gradual fall-off towards the corners, a gentle glow on highlights due to slight spherical aberration, and a textured, pleasant bokeh.

The lenses feature colorful yet controlled flares, green Cerakote beauty rings, durable black Type 3 anodizing, and easy-to-read white focus and iris numbers, with T stops marked by color-coded witness marks.

True Lens Service also designed a unique 70mm f2 lens using Fuji source glass and proprietary optics to fill the gap between the 50mm and 100mm focal lengths, completing this exceptional set.
