Atlas Mercury Anamorphic Lenses

Modern Elegance Meets Classic Anamorphic Character

The Atlas Mercury Series delivers the beauty of anamorphic cinematography in a lightweight, full-frame design optimized for today’s fast-paced productions. Merging vintage aesthetics with modern mechanics, Mercury lenses provide rich character, cinematic flares, and elegant bokeh — all in a compact housing that’s ideal for gimbals, handheld, Steadicam, and aerial work.

Features at a Glance:

• Full-Frame Coverage: Designed for large-format sensors, the Mercury series offers edge-to-edge clarity while retaining the organic qualities that anamorphic shooters love. Perfect for full-frame cinema cameras, these lenses unlock wider fields of view without sacrificing depth or drama.

• Signature Anamorphic Aesthetic: Enjoy subtle horizontal flares, beautiful oval bokeh, and the nuanced optical imperfections that define classic anamorphic imaging — all while maintaining a modern level of image sharpness and control.

• 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze: Strike the perfect balance between the cinematic scope of 2x lenses and the flexibility of 1.33x formats. The 1.5x squeeze factor delivers immersive widescreen images that are ideal for 2.39:1 delivery while maintaining flexibility for various post workflows.

• Fast Aperture & Character-Wide Open: With T2.2 speed across the lineup, Mercury lenses are capable in low light and deliver a painterly, textured image even at wide open apertures — ideal for narrative storytelling with emotional depth.

• Lightweight & Compact: Weighing significantly less than traditional anamorphic glass, the Mercury series is tailor-made for handheld and mobile cinematography. Its balanced design makes it a go-to choice for operators and DPs working in dynamic environments.

• Precision-Built for the Field: Featuring consistent focus and iris mechanics, standard 114mm fronts, and long focus throw, Mercury lenses are ready for professional workflows. Their robust yet lightweight design makes them a practical and inspiring tool on set.
