Atlas Mercury Series 1.5x Full-Frame Anamorphic

Atlas Mercury Series 36mm, 42mm y 72mm – Anamorphic Prime

Mercury Series features full-frame coverage, a 1.5x squeeze ratio with enhanced bokeh, a significant reduction in physical size and weight, a more dynamic geometric optical personality, and warmer vintage tones than the Atlas Orion Series – all while providing the same modern, mechanical conveniences demanded by professionals.

Full-Frame Anamorphic

Imaging area of 36.7mm x 25.54mm covers full-frame sensors as well as 16:9 / 3:2 / 4:3 sensors, with easy delivery to 2:1 / 2.25:1 / 2.66:1 / 2.4:1.

1.5x Anamorphic Coefficient.

In addition to the ease of supporting multiple delivery aspects, the Mercury Series 1.5x optical design allows for many of the visual characteristics image-makers love about the traditional 2x cinemascope format (oblong oval bokeh, barrel distortion, shallow depth of field) while also allowing for a meaningful size and weight reduction in the overall physical product design.

This results in an ideal balance of compact size, weight, optical performance, and professional-focused usability across a variety of productions.

Optical Personality.

Mercury Series features exceptional optical performance with character, color, and clarity while embracing the geometric personality of vintage front anamorphics: Pleasing barrel distortion (more so than Orion Series), painterly oval bokeh, and dynamic golden streak flares with the added benefits of zero mumping, excellent close-focus, and near-zero chromatic aberration.

Lightweight and Compact.

Half the size and weight of most pro anamorphic lenses. Versatile and Easy to Use. Mercury’s robust, reliable mechanical design emphasizes professional usability with many on-set conveniences that come standard with all Atlas lenses.

Arri PL mount makes it at home on professional cinema cameras as well as any mirrorless prosumer camera via PL adapter.

Unified focus and iris position makes switching focal lengths on set quick and easy. Standardized gears and 95mm outer diameter allows for native use with various matte boxes and filters.
