Atlas is now in Dynaphos
Some of the most accessible professional anamorphic lenses - Atlas, well-known in the global film industry, are now available on the Bulgarian market through Dynaphos. We are now their official reseller, taking on the responsibility of fulfilling your dreams for footage comparable to that achieved only with high-end anamorphic cinema lenses.
The Orion Series
With their first Orion series, Atlas showed the cinema world that it is possible to create a balanced and reliable anamorphic lens with a 2x squeeze factor at an affordable price, even for an owner-operator with their own equipment! This series is still being developed and improved to this day, and with the new Orion 18mm T2 Atlas, they recently broke their own record for the widest anamorphic lens in the world (previously the Orion 21mm T2).
Part of the new additions are the telephoto Orion 135mm T2.2 and 200mm T3.2. In addition, Atlas offers a Silver Edition of this series. It features neutral flares instead of the classic blue ones we are accustomed to from old Panavision lenses.
The Orion series is designed for classic Super 35mm sensors, and with the expanders offered by Atlas, full-frame (36x24) sensors can also be covered, including RED's VistaVision and ARRI's LF sensors.
However, given how quickly full-frame sensors are entering modern cinema, especially for owner-operators who already have great options for affordable cameras from Blackmagic, Z CAM, Sony, and others, Atlas decided to create a new line of lenses.
The Mercury Series
The Mercury series is designed for use with full-frame sensors. Compared to their predecessors or other PL-mount anamorphic cinema lenses, they stand out for their compactness.
The Mercury series has a 1.5x squeeze factor, perfect for a wide range of sensors and extremely flexible for working in various formats. With a modern design and compact dimensions, the lenses have characteristics that do not deviate from the classic anamorphic image we are used to. Currently, the line includes 6 lenses: 36mm, 42mm, 54mm, 72mm, 95mm, 138mm, all of which have the same T-Stop range from T2.2 to T16.
Some of the films shot with Atlas
Some of the films shot in recent years with Atlas lenses include Babylon (2022), Don't Look Up (2021), and Bliss (2021). Atlas lenses are also widely used in the production of music videos for some of the biggest stars in the industry.
Orders and Live Demos
All Atlas products are now available for order from Dynaphos! Expect events and opportunities for live demos with these lenses in combination with some of the most popular cameras on the market!
