Brand new Arcana series - a 1.5X full-frame hybrid anamorphic lens line that delivers iconic 2X anamorphic character in an ultra-compact, lightweight form factor. Designed for filmmakers who demand cinematic width without the weight, the Arcana series combines portability with high-end optical performance. Each lens weighs approximately 700g, making it one of the most portable full-frame 1.5X anamorphic series available. The Hybrid 1.5X Anamorphic lens blends cinematic character with modern versatility, offering full-frame coverage and a signature 2X waterfall-style elliptical bokeh. Its front-cylindrical optical design effectively minimizes 'anamorphic mumps', ensuring consistent proportions across the frame while delivering dynamic horizontal flares with a unique color shift.
With a fast T 2.1 aperture, this lens excels in low-light environments, and its impressive close-focus range of 0.48 - 0.78 m allows for highly flexible and intimate compositions. Engineered for the mobile filmmaker, the lens features an ultra-compact aluminum build weighing approximately 700g, making it a perfect match for gimbals and DJI Ronin 4D rigs. It includes a multi-position PL mount and is fully compatible with VND or autofocus adapters, streamlining the transition between different shooting setups. This combination of vintage anamorphic aesthetics and a lightweight, adaptable form factor makes it an essential tool for high-end indie productions and fast-paced commercial work.
