Atlas Mercury Anamorphics: Perfectly Imperfect!

Фильм және анимация

The Atlas Mercury Series Anamorphics embrace technical imperfections and are relatively small compared to other anamorphic lenses. They have a prominent barrel distortion, distinct amber flares, and beautiful swirly bokeh. Priced at $8k per lens, they are a great option for large format anamorphic lenses and are adaptable to a variety of aspect ratios.

    Dang....I absolutely love the look of these lenses. I like them WAY better than the standard Atlas anamorphics. I was trying to hold off on ordering but this might have pushed me over the edge! Great video Rob

    Dude, same. I've had these in a cart for preorder so many times but figured I'd wait to rent them on a production and see how I like them. Which I'm still going to do but they just seem like a perfect anamorphic for most of the scenarios I'd use anamorphic and are subtle enough that I could actually see myself using them in more scenarios than I would typically go for anamorphic on which could justify actually owning them. This footage looks so sick, I'm pretty sold.

    Have they announced the release window of the 54? I remember them just getting their first prototype in like a month ago. Waiting on the 138mm they hinted at

    @@BradleyLayton7 we want longer focal lengths ! 135 woul be nice, but also something like 200mm or more ! (wich become equivalent to around 135mm when compared to a spherical). I dont understand why very short anamorphic are the main thing (i understand that it helps getting some nice characteristic like barrel distortion and all, but come on, long focals are very important for cinematography).

    Correct, it's from 1977. Maybe he confused it with the 2018 remake.
