Bausch & Lomb
Bausch & Lomb cinema primes introduced in the early 1960s as the successor to the original Baltars, with a maximum aperture of T2.3. Became an industry standard through the 1970s on films like The Godfather, All the President's Men, and Paper Moon. Single-coated optics produce veiling glare and rainbow flares.
