Bausch & Lomb Lenses

Bausch & Lomb produced several lines of cinema primes from the 1930s through the 1970s, including the Baltar, Super Baltar, and Ultra Baltar series. These single-coated lenses became Hollywood standards, known for warm rendering, smooth bokeh, and veiling glare that softens digital imagery.
