Authentic Anamorphic Rendering

Harness the signature shallow depth and barrel distortion of Atlas's Orion 2x anamorphics, now housed in a paradigm that is notably trim and featherlight — ideal for dynamic, unencumbered filmmaking.

Streamlined Anamorphic Qualities

The lens affords filmmakers consistency with established cine standards by adopting the professional ARRI PL-mount configuration.

Professional ARRI PL Compatibility

Each Mercury series lens accommodates the latest in full-frame sensor technology, ensuring expansive coverage.

Comprehensive Full-Frame Sensor Support

A brisk T2.2 aperture setting illuminates the Mercury anamorphics' capable performance in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.

Optimized for Low-Light Cinematography

Featuring industry-standard 0.8 MOD gearing and uniform 95mm front diameter, the Mercury series lenses support a range of cine accessories while detailing focus distances in feet for precision work.

Precision Crafted Cine Build

The Atlas Lens Co. Mercury 42mm T2.2 is an anamorphic prime built for the **Cinema / Video** camera system, designed to mount directly via **PL Mount** to professional cinema cameras. It covers the **Super 35** sensor format and delivers a standard **42mm** focal length at a maximum aperture of **T2.2**, providing reliable performance in controlled lighting environments. The lens is **manual focus** only, integrating naturally into professional production workflows that employ dedicated follow focus systems.
