Atlas Orion Anamorphic Lenses – 3 Lens ‘A’ Set

The Atlas Orion A Kit is a set of three professional 2x anamorphic cinema lenses, covering 40mm, 65mm and 100mm. Designed for filmmakers looking for the distinctive look of anamorphic photography, the Orion series combines cinematic character with the practical handling expected from modern professional lenses.

The Orion lenses is a full 2x anamorphic squeeze. The 40mm provides a useful wider perspective for establishing shots, interiors and working in tighter locations, while the 65mm offers a more natural perspective for general coverage. The 100mm then gives you a longer focal length for portraits, close-ups and compressed perspectives. Together, the three lenses provide a useful core set for short films, commercials, music videos and feature productions.

The Orion lenses are designed as proper cinema lenses, with a consistent mechanical focus system and geared controls for use with professional follow focus equipment. This makes them much more suited to controlled narrative production than adapting stills lenses for anamorphic work.

Anamorphic lenses do require a little more consideration than standard spherical lenses, particularly around focus, minimum focus distances and monitoring the de-squeezed image, as well as compatibility with your camera and/or viewing monitors to view the super-wide image. However, for productions where the look is part of the creative decision, these characteristics are very much part of the appeal.

The Atlas Orion A Kit provides a compact three-lens anamorphic package without requiring a large collection of focal lengths, making it an excellent choice for filmmakers looking to introduce a genuine anamorphic aesthetic to their production.
