Design and optical character

The lens uses precision anamorphic optics to produce the characteristic oval bokeh and elongated flares associated with anamorphic imagery. This Silver version produces a neutral silver flare rather than a colored tint, so it preserves a clean and modern look. Furthermore, the lens is designed to minimize focus breathing, which helps maintain consistent framing and visual continuity when racking focus.

Because the lens is compact and lightweight, you can mount it on handheld rigs, gimbals, and drones without adding excessive bulk. At the same time, the T2.8 aperture provides useful low-light performance and depth-of-field control for controlled cinematic shots.

Controls and compatibility

The lens features manual focus and aperture control and includes standard 0.8 mod geared rings for both focus and aperture.
