Lens Overview — Atlas Lens Co. 28mm T2 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens

The Atlas Lens Co. Orion 28mm T2 is a manual-focus anamorphic prime lens built for the Cinema and Video camera system, featuring a PL Mount and designed to cover a Super 35 sensor format. Sitting in the wide-angle focal length range, the 28mm field of view makes it a practical choice for establishing shots, environmental storytelling, and tight interior spaces where a longer lens simply won't fit.

The maximum aperture of T2 provides strong light-gathering capability, allowing cinematographers to work in lower-light conditions or achieve a shallower depth of field without pushing camera ISO. At 2.8 kg, this is a substantial piece of glass, reflecting the optical complexity typical of anamorphic cinema primes. Focus is entirely manual, which is standard practice on professional cinema sets where a dedicated focus puller is part of the workflow.

The lens carries no image stabilization, consistent with the expectation that cinema cameras are rigged on stabilized support systems. With a Super 35 coverage area and PL Mount, it integrates naturally into established professional cinema camera ecosystems. The lens type is confirmed as Anamorphic, making it purpose-built for productions seeking the distinctive widescreen look associated with that format.

Description — Atlas Lens Co. 28mm T2 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens

The Atlas Lens Co. Orion 28mm T2 Anamorphic Prime Lens is a manual focus, prime lens engineered for the Cinema and Video camera system. Mounted via a PL Mount, it is built to cover the Super 35 sensor format, placing it squarely within professional cinema production workflows.

The 28mm focal length positions it in the wide-angle range, making it a strong candidate for scenes demanding a broad field of view. Its T2 maximum aperture provides a meaningful advantage in low-light environments and gives cinematographers room to create separation between subject and background. The lens is classified as Anamorphic type, designed to produce the distinctive visual characteristics associated with that format.

With no autofocus and no image stabilization, operational control rests entirely with the camera crew, as expected in a cinema context. The lens weighs 2.8 kg, underscoring the need for proper rigging and support equipment on set. No filter thread size is listed in the specifications.
