ARRI / ZEISS Master Anamorphic Primes
A joint collaboration between ARRI and ZEISS, the Master Anamorphic lenses are an anamorphic counterpart to the Master Prime lenses. Master Anamorphic’s are known for their near-perfect image quality, with no breathing and minimal anamorphic characteristics common in most anamorphic lenses. This perfect image quality limits their anamorphic flare and bokeh characteristics. If those characteristics are desired, the Master Anamorphics have a Flare Module that can be installed to accentuate those effects, producing a more natural anamorphic look.

Caldwell Chameleon XC Series Anamorphic Primes
The Caldwell Chameleon Anamorphic prime lenses offer a retro anamorphic look with modern mechanics. The entire 1.79x squeeze set, 48mm, 60mm, 75mm, 90mm, 112mm, & 150mm will cover full frame sensors and offer the traditional optical aberrations and flare characteristics unique to front anamorphic lenses. The Chameleon Primes employ a Stokes focus system that creates a fairly unique focusing experience compared to many other anamorphic primes. The aesthetic result is the compression of the subject in the vertical plane only. This creates an artistic “attention pull” without creating a “zoom” effect as well. Also, this system helps maintain a constant anamorphic compression across the entire field of view. This more uniform compression helps reduce the “mumps syndrome” that occurs in many other anamorphic lens designs. The complete set can also be converted to Super 35 coverage for cinematographers hoping to capture more edge aberration and optical character on smaller formats.
