Robert Machado | Atlas Mercury Anamorphics: Perfectly Imperfect! @robchado | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
The Atlas Mercury Series Anamorphics embrace technical imperfections and are relatively small compared to other anamorphic lenses. They have a prominent barrel distortion, distinct amber flares, and beautiful swirly bokeh. Priced at $8k per lens, they are a great option for large format anamorphic lenses and are adaptable to a variety of aspect ratios.
