TLS celebrates the Grand Opening of its New Lens Studio

On Thursday 10 July 2025, GTC Patron TLS (True Lens Services), proudly opened the doors of its brand-new Lens Studio at TLS HQ, in Barwell, Leicestershire, welcoming industry professionals for an exclusive first look at its state-of-the-art facility.

The event offered guests a behind-the-scenes tour of the company's departments including its renowned rehousing division and workshop, before unveiling the cutting-edge Lens Studio.

Attendees were invited to test the full range of TLS lenses, including rehoused models, in a purpose-built, controlled environment designed to support cinematographers, rental houses, and production teams.

Richard Grocott, TLS Director Sales & Marketing says:

We’re thrilled to have shared this exciting milestone with so many valued industry friends and partners. Our new Lens Studio not only enhances how we present our products but also strengthens our commitment to innovation, quality, and collaboration.

The day featured three sessions, with hands-on lens demonstrations, studio tours, and opportunities to network with the TLS team and fellow professionals. Lunch and refreshments were served, creating an informal and welcoming atmosphere.

The opening was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many guests praising the craftsmanship behind TLS’s lens rehousing work and the hands-on experience offered in the new space. The day also sparked exciting conversations about future collaborations and projects.

TLS plans to continue hosting similar events, offering industry professionals further opportunities to explore its facilities, products, and expert services.
