Lens Overview — Atlas Lens Co. Anamorphic Prime Lenses Set

The Atlas Lens Co. Mercury Series Anamorphic Prime Lenses Set is a collection of manual-focus anamorphic prime lenses built for professional cinema and video production. Designed around the PL Mount and optimized for Super 35 format cameras, the Mercury Series covers a focal length range spanning from 36mm to 138mm, giving cinematographers a versatile spread of perspectives within a single matched set.

Each lens in the set shares a maximum aperture of f/2.2, providing consistent exposure across the lineup when swapping focal lengths on set — a practical advantage during narrative productions.
