Key Features:
Each lens in the set produces Kowa’s signature brilliant blue horizontal lens flares, widely regarded as among the most visually striking and elegant flare characteristics of any vintage anamorphic lens series available today.
The distinctive oval bokeh and smooth, organic focus fall-off deliver a beautifully cinematic out-of-focus rendering that adds a uniquely expressive and three-dimensional quality to every frame.
The three focal lengths — 40mm, 50mm, and 75mm — provide a versatile core anamorphic prime range covering wide-angle through short telephoto perspectives, meeting the essential focal length requirements of most anamorphic production scenarios.
The anamorphic 2x squeeze factor delivers the classic 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio natively in-camera, providing the authentic scope look without the need for post-production desqueezing artifacts or cropping.
Kowa anamorphic lenses deliver a warm, refined color rendition and gentle contrast rendering with a distinctly Japanese optical sensibility that sets them apart from Soviet and Western anamorphic alternatives.
