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.

Cooke Anamorphic 1.8x Full Frame Plus Primes
Cooke’s full frame anamorphic prime’s feature a 1.8x squeeze factor to allow these lenses to fully cover large format sensors like those found in the ALEXA LF and Sony Venice. These lenses produce Cookes warm color pallet with unique anamorphic effects caused by the uncommon squeeze factor. They also feature the Cooke i/Data protocol for sending lens metadata to the camera system.

Scorpio Full Frame 2x Anamorphic Primes
Servicevision made the Scorpio Anamorphic Primes for use with large format cameras, perfect for use with the Sony Venice, RED Monstro, or ALEXA LF sensors. The Scorpio Anamorphics produce excellent field sharpness, warmth, and close focus not found in most anamorphic designs. The set requires a 2.39:1 crop of the full frame sensor area.

Second Reef Coral 1.5x Anamorphic Primes
Second Reef’s Coral Anamorphics are a unique set of 1.5x anamorphic lenses in PL mount that feature a special oval iris design which produces bokeh similar to a 2x anamorphic. They cover full frame sensors and produce strikingly beautiful images. The image is sharp, with attractive fall off and anamorphic flares. The lenses are relatively light and small for a full frame anamorphic, and they feature excellent close focus performance and Cooke /i lens data functionality.

Xelmus Apollo Anamorphic Primes
Xelmus Anamorphics are 2x full frame anamorphic lenses designed in Ukraine. They exhibit some characteristics similar to vintage anamorphics such as Todd-AO or Cineovision, but with more sharpness, less focus fall off, and a more modern mechanical design. Their flares are a cool temperature with fractal diffraction spikes and vertical and horizontal elements. They render an almost watercolor like background when defocused, and produce attractive oval bokeh. Please note that the 32mm does not color full frame, and is Super35 only. The rest of the set is fully compatible in 2.39 on full frame sensors.
