Description — Atlas Lens Co. 100mm T2 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens
The Atlas Lens Co. Orion 100mm T2 is an anamorphic prime lens built specifically for professional cinema production. With a fixed 100mm focal length falling in the telephoto range, it offers a compressed perspective ideal for portraiture, close-up coverage, and visually layered background compositions.
The lens reaches a maximum aperture of T2, providing strong light transmission and the shallow depth of field that anamorphic telephoto shooting is known for. It mounts via a PL mount, the industry-standard fitting for professional cinema cameras, and covers a Super 35 image circle. Focus is entirely manual, reflecting the dedicated focus-puller workflows common in professional film and television production.
At 3 kg, this is a full-weight cinema prime intended for camera rigs, shoulder mounts, and studio setups rather than lightweight handheld configurations. No image stabilization is present, which is standard for lenses of this class where stabilization is addressed at the support system level. The Orion 100mm T2 is categorized within the Cinema / Video camera system, confirming its role as a production-grade tool.
