What is an Anamorphic lens?

There are two main types of lenses; those being spherical and those being anamorphic. Anamorphic lenses have asymmetrical optical curves that render more compressed images in its width and is stretched more in its height. This compression and stretching is determined by the squeeze factor. An anamorphic lens with a 2x squeeze factor will be two times as wide as the focal length on the respective lens. (Meaning a 50mm would have the field of view of a 25, but the depth of focus as a 50mm). However there are many different squeeze factors: 1.5x, 2x, 1.3x, 1.8x etc.

The Mercury Full Frame set is another new go to lens set made by Atlas. Those who have had concerns with the larger weight and size of anamorphic lenses will not be running into those issues with the Mercurys as this set is much smaller and lighter with the heaviest one being less than 4lbs. The Mercurys are very efficient to use on set as the lighter size makes lens changes easier. The impressive close focus abilities reduce the need to use diopters. The set universally has a T-stop of T2.2 and a front element size of 95mm. This set pushes the bar as it contains vintage traits and hues, especially for skin tones, while also being optimal for full frame and 16x9 sensors.

The Mercurys have their own distinctive warm flare. The Mercurys give everything that anamorphic filmmakers love and more with their own unique style, making them a perfect addition to the Atlas brand.
