Product Description

Atlas Lens Co Orion 18MM Anamorphic Prime - Imperial scale

Designed by cinematographers for cinematographers, the Orion 18mm T2 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens from Atlas Lens Co. produces a vintage anamorphic look for Super 35-sensor cine-style cameras. Offering a 140° field of view, the 18mm is the widest Cinemascope format 35mm motion picture camera lens in production. To maximize compatibility, this PL-mount lens can be switched to a Canon EF mount using a separately available Atlas mount kit. Anamorphic lens characteristics include "waterfall" bokeh, streak effects, and a spherical aberration glow when used wide open.

This mechanically dependable prime lens features a design that is standardized across the series with unified focus and iris gear positions that make lens swaps easier when using cine-style matte boxes and FIZ systems. The Orion 18mm prime comes with focus marks in feet but can be switched by the user to meters using a separately available focus scale.
