Atlas Lens Co. Mercury 54mm T2.2 1.5x Anamorphic Prime Lens (PL Mount, Feet)

Atlas Lens Co. Mercury Anamorphic 54mm T2.2 (... Overview

Mercury Prime for a Vintage Anamorphic Look

Designed by cinematographers for professional videographers, the Mercury 54mm T2.2 1.5x Anamorphic Prime Lens is part of the compact and lightweight Mercury Series from Atlas Lens Co. This series offers native full-frame coverage, enhanced bokeh, near-zero chromatic aberration, and a buttery vintage look that is warmer than that of the Orion series. The ARRI PL-mount Mercury series includes 36, 42, 54, 72, 95, and 138mm primes.

1.5x Vintage Anamorphic Look

• This lens creates 1.5x the horizontal field with the same vertical field of view as a similar spherical lens.
• It offers a vintage anamorphic look with golden flares, pleasant barrel distortion, and almost no chromatic aberration.

Anamorphic Features in a Compact Form

Each Mercury lens provides the oval bokeh, pleasant barrel distortion, and shallow depth of field of the Atlas Orion 2x anamorphic primes but in a housing that is about half the size and weight of most pro anamorphic primes. The more compact size reduces fatigue and enables you to get closer to the action.

ARRI PL Mount

The lens is compatible with pro-cine ARRI PL-mount cameras.

Full-Frame Coverage

Each Mercury series lens provides coverage for up to full-frame camera sensors.

Fast T2.2 Aperture

A fast T2.2 aperture enables the Mercury anamorphics to excel at low-light capture.

Cine-Style Design

• The Mercury lenses feature cine-standard 0.8 MOD gearing, a 95mm front diameter, and focus marks in feet.
• The standardized 95mm front diameter is compatible with many filters and matte boxes.
