The LOMO Round Front anamorphic set (35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm) is widely regarded as the “gold standard” of Soviet cinema glass. Unlike the earlier square-front models, the round-front series features a more sophisticated optical design where the anamorphic element is placed between lens groups or behind the spherical unit. This results in significantly improved sharpness, reduced distortion, and much more stable focus tracking. While they are more technically consistent, they still retain the legendary LOMO soul—producing organic skin tones, creamy fall-off, and the iconic horizontal blue flares that digital cinematographers crave for high-end narrative work.
Key Features:
Improved Optical Performance: Features the advanced “round front” design which offers better edge-to-edge sharpness and higher contrast than square-front versions.
Internal Focusing Mechanics: Unlike front-element focusing lenses, these maintain a constant physical length, making them far more compatible with matte boxes and follow-focus systems.
Classic 2x Anamorphic Squeeze: Provides the authentic widescreen aesthetic with beautiful vertically elongated oval bokeh and a shallow depth-of-field look.
Signature Flare Character: Capable of producing the famous horizontal blue streaks and internal “glow” that define the vintage anamorphic film look.
Professional PL Mount Conversions: Most sets are updated with stainless steel PL mounts and standardized 0.8 pitch gears for seamless integration with modern camera rigs.
