The LOMO Anamorphic set of five lenses is a legendary collection of Soviet-era glass that provides a quintessential vintage widescreen aesthetic through its 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm focal lengths. These Round Front primes are celebrated by cinematographers for their “imperfect” organic character, which includes the iconic horizontal blue streak flares, dramatic oval bokeh, and a unique focus breathing that modern lenses often lack. Covering everything from wide-angle landscapes with the 35mm to intimate, compressed portraits with the 150mm, this set bridges the gap between historical optical design and contemporary digital sensors, offering a texture and soul that makes digital footage feel like classic celluloid.
Key Features:
2x Anamorphic Squeeze: Delivers the traditional 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio with classic vertical stretching of out-of-focus elements.
Round Front Design: Provides more consistent performance and easier accessory mounting compared to the older Square Front models.
Distinctive Blue Flares: Famous for producing the horizontal “streak” flares highly sought after for music videos and narrative features.
Organic Texture: Characterized by soft roll-off, unique barrel distortion, and a warm, low-contrast color palette that flatters skin tones.
Full Range Coverage: A comprehensive focal spread from the wide 35mm to the telephoto 150mm, ensuring a consistent look across an entire production.
Robust Cinema Housing: Most sets are updated with standard focus and iris gears for compatibility with modern wireless follow-focus systems.
