The most versatile and portable remote arm in the world. Atlas Mercury: 1.5x full-frame anamorphic lenses Although the existing Orion lenses can achieve full-frame coverage with the help of Atlas’ 1. Its not unusual for 4-perf 35mm anamorphic features to have efx elements shot in VistaVision (8-perf 35mm) or 5-perf 65mm, which are spherical formats, for many reasons - one is that its better and easier to shoot miniatures with spherical lenses. If you’re eager to watch some footage shot on the Mercury series, make sure to check out the video below.We have partnered with our friends at Hover Global in El Segundo CA to offer the Motocrane Ultra. The Mercury series is characterized by warm, vintage tones with golden lens flares. Indeed, the amount of barrel distortion has been carefully calibrated to achieve a specific aesthetic that is pleasant to the eye. According to the company, although these optics keep chromatic aberrations under control and deliver accurate colors and skin tones, they’re far from being aseptically perfect. Just like with the Orion series, the character of the new Mercury anamorphic primes is the result of a careful research for the perfect balance between optical performance and a characteristic vintage look. That’s about half the size and weight compared to its Orion sibling! Image credit: CineD Warm, vintage look The new lens is 11.2cm/4.4” in length and weighs about 1.1kg/2.3lbs. When standing next to the existing Orion 40mm, the new Mercury 42mm really shows the effort the company put into shrinking the design. This choice serves two purposes: reducing size and weight, while still providing users with the flexibility they need to achieve a variety of final aspect ratios (2:1 / 2.25:1 / 2.66:1 / 2.4:1) using different sensor modes (16:9/3:2/4:3). Indeed, this has been reduced from 2x down to 1.5x. Image credit: CineDīesides sensor coverage, one of the major differences with the popular Orion Series stands in the squeeze factor. ARRI PL is the only lens mount option for these lenses. Two additional 54 and 95mm lenses will join the series next year, while a sixth focal length is yet to be announced. Initially, this new anamorphic family will consist of three focal lengths: 36mm T2.2, 42mm T2.2, and 72mm T2.3.

So let’s take a closer look at what this new series is all about. The company’s new full-frame Mercury series seems to follow the same principles and is aimed at a similar target, which obviously includes big productions and rental houses, but also solo operators looking to own a professional anamorphic lens set. If you’d like to learn more about the philosophy behind this lens series, I highly recommend taking some time to watch this interview we shot back at NAB 2022. Atlas Mercury: 1.5x full-frame anamorphic lenses Although the existing Orion lenses can achieve full-frame coverage with the help of Atlas’ 1.4x LF Expander, the new Mercury series offers the benefit of native compatibility with full-frame sensors, with a claimed imaging area of 36.7×25.54mm. The popular Atlas Orion 2x anamorphic series owes its fortune to the peculiar position it covers in the market, filling a gap between low-budget anamorphic lenses and crazy expensive high-end glass, without compromising on image quality. The final price for each single piece is set at $5,995. The first three family members (36mm/42mm/72mm) are now available for pre-order. By Francesco Andreola September 10 th, 2022ĭuring IBC 2022, we sat down with Forrest Schultz, President of Atlas Lens Co., to learn more about the thought-process behind their newly-announced Mercury 1.5x full-frame anamorphic series.
