Well, that’s certainly a good deal. We were just covering the Atlas Mercury Anamorphic Prime lenses, as they are some great options to consider pairing with the Sony FX5, which we covered here, but this deal should kick things up a notch.
If you’ve been in the market for some vintage-looking anamorphic primes, or even been considering the Atlas Mercury lineup for any single lens or as a set, now might be an ideal time to pounce, as this price drop is quite significant—and quite intriguing…
Atlas Mercury Anamorphic Primes Price Drop
So, it looks like this price drop is hitting the whole Mercury lineup of 1.5x full-frame anamorphic primes. That means all nine lenses, which range from 24mm to 138mm (including those recently added in the lineup expansion), are set to get major price reductions.
You can check them all out individually or as a set, but to give you more insight, let’s look at just one lens for context: the Atlas Mercury 24mm T2.2 1.5x anamorphic prime, a nice option to get the set going.
Designed to offer native full-frame coverage, enhanced bokeh, near-zero chromatic aberration, and a buttery vintage look warmer than that of the Orion series, this cinematic prime is a great example of what these lenses are capable of, with a nice oval bokeh, pleasant barrel distortion, and a shallow depth of field.
Price and Availability
This Atlas Mercury 24mm option, in particular, is quite intriguing, as it’s all contained in a housing that is about half the size and weight of most pro anamorphic primes, which should reduce shooting fatigue and let you, as a shooter, get closer to the action.
All the lenses are compatible with pro-cine ARRI PL-mount cameras and are designed to cover up to full-frame camera sensors. If you’d like to find out more about this lens and dive into its full specs and features, check them out here below.
