Description
More personality, zero compromises
The Mercury Series showcases exceptional optical performance, color performance, and clarity with vintage geometric personality. The Mercury lenses feature a golden lens flare when direct light sources hit the glass. They also have excellent close-focus with near-zero chromatic aberration, allowing Mercury Series lenses to be used in all kinds of demanding scenarios. The Mercury Series lenses are crisp and resolute, while optimized to bring out the beauty in a variety of skin tones.
Mercury goes wherever your stories take you
Our talented team of designers and engineers examined the needs of cinematographers around the world to create a new line of anamorphic lenses meant to be used on any set, in any rig configuration – whether on land, sea, or air: from the largest production, to solo operator run-and-gun, aerials, underwater, or anywhere in between.
With full-frame coverage, a 1.5x squeeze ratio with enhanced bokeh, a dynamic geometric optical personality and warm vintage tones, and exceptional optical performance — all at half the size and weight of most pro anamorphic lenses.
Full-Frame 1.5x Anamorphic
Imaging area of 36.7mm x 25.54mm covers full-frame sensors as well as 16:9 / 3:2 / 4:3 sensors, with easy delivery to 2:1 / 2.25:1 / 2.66:1 / 2.4:1.
In addition to the ease of supporting multiple delivery aspects, the Mercury Series 1.5x optical design allows for many of the visual characteristics image-makers love about the traditional 2x cinemascope format (oblong oval bokeh, barrel distortion, shallow depth of field) while also allowing for a meaningful size and weight reduction in the overall physical product design. This results in an ideal balance of compact size, weight, optical performance, and professional-focused usability across a variety of productions.
