Key optical characteristics

This lens features precision anamorphic optics that preserve sharp details and reduce focus breathing. With a fast T2.8 aperture, it gives you practical control over depth of field and performs well in low-light situations. The 1.5x squeeze creates the widescreen anamorphic look while maintaining a wide-angle field of view important for narrative scenes, commercials and music videos.

Visual character and flare option

The Amber version produces warm, golden-hued streak flares. This amber flare adds cinematic warmth and suits period dramas, romantic scenes and naturalistic lighting setups. You will also get the signature oval bokeh associated with anamorphic lenses, which helps separate subjects from backgrounds in a visually pleasing way.

It features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, enabling seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems.
