Atlas Lens Co. 32mm T2 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens Overview
The Atlas Lens Co. Orion 32mm T2 is an anamorphic prime lens designed for Super 35 cinema cameras, mounted in the industry-standard PL mount. Built squarely for the Cinema / Video camera system, this lens is classified as a Standard focal length prime in the anamorphic category, offering a maximum aperture of T2 — a fast, light-gathering opening well suited to low-light cinematic work and shallow depth-of-field imagery.
The lens is manual focus only, with no autofocus capability, which aligns with professional cinema production workflows where focus pullers operate dedicated follow-focus systems. At 2.2 kg, the Orion 32mm has a substantial, cinema-grade build that integrates naturally into rigged camera setups. The lens type is explicitly listed as Anamorphic, designed for Super 35-format sensors, making it a natural pairing with the wide range of cinema cameras that use that sensor standard.
There is no image stabilization, which is typical for cinema prime lenses intended for use on stabilized rigs, gimbals, or tripod-mounted systems. The PL mount is the professional cinema standard, providing a robust and secure connection to compatible camera bodies.
2x Anamorphic Squeeze: Delivers a true 2x squeeze ratio, producing a native widescreen image with characteristic horizontal lens flares and oval bokeh on Super 35 sensors.
T2 Maximum Aperture: Fast T2 stop allows for shallow depth of field and strong light gathering in low-light cinematic environments.
32mm Standard Focal Length: On Super 35 with a 2x squeeze, this lens captures a wider horizontal field of view equivalent to a widescreen cinematic perspective.
Super 35 Coverage: Image circle is optimized for Super 35 sensors, covering the vast majority of digital cinema cameras in professional use.
PL Mount: Industry-standard cinema lens mount ensures a robust, secure connection compatible with ARRI, RED, Sony Venice, and other PL-mount cinema cameras.
Manual Focus Design: Smooth manual focus ring is built for precise, repeatable focus pulls using standard follow-focus systems on professional rigs.
Cinema-Grade Build: At 2.2 kg, the lens features a robust metal construction with consistent external dimensions suited to rigged and gimbal-mounted camera setups.
Matched Orion Set: Part of Atlas's Orion anamorphic prime series, allowing cinematographers to build a matched lens set with consistent optical characteristics across focal lengths.
