Lens Overview — Atlas Lens Co. 6-Lens Cinema Set

The Atlas Lens Co. Mercury Anamorphic Prime 6-Lens Cinema Set offers a PL Mount collection of anamorphic prime lenses built for Super 35 cinema cameras. Covering a focal length range from 36mm to 138mm, this set spans wide to telephoto perspectives, giving cinematographers a versatile toolkit for a wide variety of shooting scenarios.

Each lens in the set is a manual focus prime, with no autofocus or image stabilization, placing full creative control in the hands of the operator — exactly what most narrative and documentary cinematographers prefer. The lenses carry a maximum aperture of T2.2, providing solid low-light performance while maintaining the optical characteristics associated with anamorphic glass. The 86mm front filter thread is consistent across the set, which is a practical advantage for production crews managing follow focus rigs and matte boxes.

At 1.1kg per lens, the Mercury set offers a relatively manageable weight for anamorphic primes, supporting handheld and gimbal-based workflows without excessive strain. Designed specifically for the Cinema and Video camera system category, these lenses are a well-considered choice for filmmakers who want anamorphic character with PL Mount compatibility across a Super 35 sensor footprint.

Key Features — Atlas Lens Co. 6-Lens Cinema Set

1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze: Each lens applies a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, delivering characteristic oval bokeh, horizontal lens flares, and a widescreen cinematic look associated with anamorphic glass.

Six-Lens PL Mount Set: The complete set covers focal lengths from 36mm to 138mm on a PL mount, providing wide to telephoto coverage compatible with professional cinema cameras from ARRI, RED, and others.

T2.2 Maximum Aperture: A fast T2.2 aperture across the set supports shooting in lower light conditions while maintaining shallow depth of field and anamorphic optical character.

Super 35 Image Circle: Designed to cover the Super 35 sensor format, the most widely used format in professional cinema production, ensuring full coverage without vignetting on Super 35 cameras.

Matched 86mm Filter Thread: All six lenses share a consistent 86mm front filter thread, allowing a single matte box or filter system to be used across the entire set without swapping adapters.

Manual Focus Design: Smooth, precise manual focus rings with consistent gear placement across the set support repeatable, professional focus pulls in narrative and documentary workflows.

Description — Atlas Lens Co. 6-Lens Cinema Set

The Atlas Lens Co. Mercury Anamorphic Prime 6-Lens Cinema Set is configured for PL Mount cinema cameras and designed around the Super 35 image format. The set covers focal lengths from 36mm to 138mm, placing it in the telephoto range category while still offering meaningful wide-end options for coverage flexibility.

Each prime features a maximum aperture of f/2.2, giving cinematographers strong light-gathering capacity for a set of anamorphic glass. Focus is entirely manual, consistent with professional cinema production workflows where a dedicated focus puller operates the lens. There is no image stabilization, so stabilized support rigs are recommended for moving shots.

The shared 86mm filter thread across the set is a notable practical feature, streamlining on-set logistics for crews managing filters, follow focus systems, and matte boxes. At 1.1kg per lens, the Mercury set keeps weight relatively manageable for anamorphic primes, supporting a range of camera support configurations from tripods to shoulder rigs.
