MORE INFO

These lenses have all the characteristics you want in anamorphic glass: linear barrel distortion, oval bokeh, and beautiful, blue-streak lens flares, but their huge maximum apertures put them in a category very few lenses can touch. Our set features legendary Shiga optics. The same people who built the anamorphic elements for JDC, Todd AO, Technovison, and Nippon Scope.

Shoot these lenses wide-open and you get a creamy low contrast look with incredibly shallow depth of field and stunning bokeh. Stop them down to T2 and sharpness and contrast increase dramatically. At T2.8 they are already near peak performance. With a 15-blade iris, they maintain perfectly oval bokeh no matter what T-stop you’re shooting at. Just as important as all that performance, they also render faces beautifully, without stretching people or making them look wider (often referred to as "mumps"). If you want all the beauty of vintage anamorphic lenses, Cineovison anamorphics are one of the best all-around vintage anamorphic options available.

The whole set is compatible with clip-on matte boxes, and all follow focus systems. The focus and iris gears do not move forward and backward during focusing, making these lenses some of the easiest vintage anamorphics to work with.

NOTE: The 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, are compatible with 4x5.65 filters, 138mm diopters, and 138mm round filters like 138mm Rota Pola.

The 25mm is compatible with 6x6 matte boxes and filters ONLY. It is NOT compatible with 4x5.65 filters, 138mm diopters, or any 138mm round filters.

All 4 lenses require clip-on matte boxes. They work with all your go-to matte boxes like ARRI and Bright Tangerine. They do not work with swing away, or rod supported matte boxes.
