The Atlas Mercury Series Anamorphics embrace technical imperfections and are relatively small compared to other anamorphic lenses. They have a prominent barrel distortion, distinct amber flares, and beautiful swirly bokeh. Priced at $8k per lens, they are a great option for large format anamorphic lenses and are adaptable to a variety of aspect ratios.
