Atlas Mercury 6 Lens Set 1.5x Full-Frame Anamorphic Primes 36mm, 42mm, 54mm, 72mm, 95mm and 138mm - Metric product description
The Atlas Mercury Series 6-Lens Set represents a breakthrough in anamorphic optics, offering filmmakers a complete focal range from 36mm to 138mm. Designed to bridge the gap between vintage character and modern sensor requirements, these 1.5x Full-Frame primes provide a distinct cinematic aesthetic in a remarkably compact form factor.
Exceptional Optical Personality
Each lens in the Mercury Series is engineered to deliver a unique visual signature. Cinematographers can expect golden lens flares, pleasing barrel distortion, and a painterly fall-off that brings a timeless quality to digital sensors. Despite their vintage soul, these lenses maintain high resolution and near-zero chromatic aberration, ensuring skin tones remain natural and textures stay crisp.
The 1.5x Anamorphic Advantage
The 1.5x squeeze ratio provides the ideal balance between the classic Cinemascope look and physical usability. This design produces the sought-after oblong oval bokeh and shallow depth of field associated with 2x anamorphic lenses while significantly reducing the overall weight and size. The imaging area of 36.7mm x 25.54mm covers full-frame sensors and supports various delivery aspects including 2:1, 2.25:1, and 2.4:1.
Professional Workflow and Handling
Built for the rigors of professional sets, the Mercury Series features standardized 95mm front diameters and consistent gear placement across the set. This allows for rapid lens changes without readjusting follow focus or matte box positions. Whether used on a full-scale cinema rig, a handheld gimbal, or an underwater housing, these lenses offer the versatility required for any production environment.
