ATLAS MERCURY A SET OF 3

The Atlas Mercury A-Set (36mm, 42mm, and 72mm) is a premium collection of 1.5x full-frame anamorphic prime lenses designed to provide filmmakers with a distinctive vintage aesthetic in a compact, modern housing. These lenses are engineered to balance classic cinematic character—such as painterly oval bokeh, golden streak flares, and pleasing barrel distortion—with the high-resolution performance required by contemporary digital sensors. By utilizing a 1.5x squeeze ratio, the Mercury series achieves a traditional widescreen look while remaining significantly lighter and more portable than standard 2x anamorphic lenses, making them an ideal choice for everything from large-scale productions to gimbal and handheld work.

Key Features:
Full-Frame Coverage: Designed to cover large-format sensors (36.7mm x 25.54mm) and compatible with a variety of aspect ratios including 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3.
1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze: Delivers classic widescreen characteristics with a versatile squeeze ratio that simplifies delivery to 2.39:1.
Fast T2.2 Aperture: Consistent speed across the focal range (36mm and 42mm at T2.2; 72mm at T2.3) for excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field.
Vintage Optical Personality: Features warm “sun-tinged” golden flares, character-rich field curvature, and near-zero chromatic aberration.
Compact and Lightweight: Approximately half the size and weight of most professional anamorphic primes, weighing between 2.3 and 3.6 lbs per lens.
Professional Mechanics: Standardized 95mm front diameters, unified 0.8 MOD focus/iris gears, and ARRI PL mounts for seamless integration with cinema accessories.
