Atlas Mercury 3 Lens Set 1.5x Full-Frame Anamorphic Primes 36mm, 42mm and 72mm - Metric

The New Standard in Full-Frame Anamorphic Cinematography

The Atlas Mercury Series represents a breakthrough in anamorphic lens design, offering a 1.5x squeeze ratio optimized for full-frame sensors. This three-lens set, featuring 36mm, 42mm, and 72mm primes, provides filmmakers with a versatile toolkit that balances vintage optical character with the high-resolution demands of modern digital sensors.

Exceptional Optical Personality

Each lens in the Mercury Series is engineered to deliver a distinct cinematic look. Expect golden lens flares, pleasing barrel distortion, and the iconic oblong oval bokeh associated with traditional 2x cinemascope, but in a more manageable 1.5x format. Despite their vintage soul, these lenses maintain incredible clarity and near-zero chromatic aberration, ensuring skin tones remain natural and textures stay sharp.

Compact Design for Maximum Mobility

One of the most significant advantages of the Mercury Series is its physical footprint. At roughly half the size and weight of most professional anamorphic lenses, this set is ideal for solo operators, gimbal work, aerial cinematography, and underwater housings. The standardized 95mm front diameter and consistent gear placement allow for rapid lens changes without readjusting follow focus or matte box motors.

Versatile Sensor Coverage and Aspect Ratios

With an imaging area of 36.7mm x 25.54mm, these lenses cover full-frame sensors as well as 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3 modes. This flexibility allows for easy delivery to various widescreen formats, including 2:1, 2.25:1, 2.4:1, and 2.66:1. Whether you are shooting on a high-end cinema camera or a mirrorless system via PL adapter, the Atlas Mercury set delivers a professional, high-end aesthetic.
