• Full-frame coverage across all 3 focal lengths (36mm, 42mm, 72mm), so the set works whether you're shooting full-frame or Super 35
• Fast T2.2 aperture with a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, suited to low-light work and widescreen 2.39:1 delivery
• Signature anamorphic character: oval bokeh, golden streak flares and a 14-blade iris for smooth out-of-focus detail
• Consistent 95mm front diameter across the set, so 1 matte box and filter kit covers all 3 lenses with no step rings
• Cine-standard 0.8 MOD gearing on focus and iris, spaced for simultaneous dual-motor control
• Focus marks in feet for fast, accurate pulls on set

The Atlas Mercury Anamorphic 3-Way Prime Lens Set covers 3 of the most useful focal lengths in Atlas's Mercury range: 36mm, 42mm and 72mm, all at a fast T2.2. Each lens carries the same 1.5x squeeze, so footage cuts together seamlessly across the set with a consistent look from wide to long. It suits narrative, commercial and high-end branded work where a distinct cinematic identity matters more than clinical sharpness.

‍

What sets the Mercury series apart from Atlas's own Orion anamorphics is size and weight. The housings are meaningfully smaller and lighter than most professional anamorphic primes, which makes a real difference on a long handheld day or a gimbal setup where every gram matters. You still get the oval bokeh, gentle barrel distortion and golden flares that anamorphic glass is chosen for, just without the bulk.

‍

These lenses use a native PL mount, so they pair directly with PL-mount cinema bodies like the ARRI Alexa Mini LF, and E-mount cameras can run the set too using our Vocas E-PL mount adapter, hired separately. Each hire includes all 3 lenses (36mm, 42mm and 72mm, all T2.2), a front and rear cap for each lens, and a Peli case for transport. Request a quote and we'll confirm availability alongside any camera body or support gear you need to go with it.

What mount does the Atlas Mercury Anamorphic 3-Way Prime Lens Set use? These lenses use a native PL mount, compatible with PL cinema cameras including ARRI, RED and Sony VENICE bodies.

‍

Can I use this set on an E-mount camera? Yes, pair it with our Vocas E-PL mount adapter, hired separately, to run the set on E-mount bodies.

‍

What is the minimum focus distance on each lens? The 36mm focuses down to 1.5 feet, the 42mm to 2 feet, and the 72mm to 3 feet.

‍

Does the set include lens caps and a case? Yes, the hire includes a front and rear cap for each of the 3 lenses, plus a carrying case for transport.

‍

What squeeze factor do these lenses use, and how does that affect delivery? Each lens has a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, which desqueezes to a widescreen 2.39:1-style image without needing the more extreme 2x squeeze of older anamorphic glass.
