Atlas Kaizen 50mm Anamorphic Prime Metric

Cinematic Excellence for Large-Format Productions

The Atlas Lens Co. Kaizen 50mm Anamorphic Prime is a cornerstone of the Kaizen Series, engineered specifically for 65mm format-capable cinematography. Designed to meet the demands of modern large-format sensors, this lens delivers the iconic anamorphic look with a 1.5x squeeze factor, providing a perfect balance between vintage character and contemporary precision.

Expansive Sensor Coverage and Versatility

With an image circle capable of covering sensors up to 44 x 33mm, the Kaizen 50mm ensures minimal vignetting on the industry's most advanced camera systems. When paired with a 4:3 sensor and 1.5x de-squeeze, it produces a stunning 2:1 final image. This flexibility allows cinematographers to deliver various aspect ratios, including 2.40:1, 1.85:1, and 1.78:1, with minimal cropping required.

The Kaizen Series is renowned for its expressive anamorphic character and smooth focus fall-off. The 50mm prime features a fast T2.6 to T16 aperture range, allowing for exceptional control over depth of field and low-light performance. Its optical design is optimized for close-up shots, offering a pleasing minimum focus distance that enhances emotional storytelling.

Professional Build and Workflow

Built for the rigors of professional sets, the lens features a native LPL mount and a standardized 104mm front diameter. Consistent gear positioning across the entire Kaizen range ensures that lens changes are fast and efficient, maintaining the alignment of follow-focus and matte box systems.
