Atlas Kaizen 40mm Anamorphic Prime Metric

Professional Large-Format Anamorphic Performance

The Atlas Lens Co. Kaizen Series represents a significant leap in anamorphic cinematography, specifically engineered for 65mm and large-format sensor systems. This 40mm prime is a core component of the five-lens set, delivering the classic widescreen aesthetic with modern optical precision. Designed to cover sensors up to 44 x 33mm, the Kaizen series provides a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, striking the perfect balance between vintage character and high-resolution clarity.

Versatile Delivery and Cinematic Character

Whether shooting for feature films, high-end commercials, or music videos, the Kaizen 40mm offers exceptional flexibility. When paired with a 4:3 sensor and 1.5x de-squeeze, it produces a native 2:1 final image. The optical design ensures minimal cropping for various delivery ratios, including 2.40:1, 1.85:1, and 1.78:1. Cinematographers will appreciate the smooth focus fall-off and expressive bokeh that defines the Atlas signature look.

Precision Engineering for Professional Rigs

Built for the demands of modern sets, the Kaizen series features a consistent T2.6 to T16 aperture range and standardized 104mm front diameters across the set. The LPL mount ensures rock-solid stability on professional cinema cameras. With unified gear positioning, lens changes are fast and efficient, maintaining workflow speed during complex productions. Please note that the Kaizen Series is exclusively available as a complete 5-lens set (35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm).
