Filming with anamorphic lenses is continuing to gain ground among independent filmmakers. Never before have we had such a variety of lenses in different squeeze rations, build quality and price ranges. Now Viltrox is entering the market with three new lenses: 35mm, 50mm and 75mm. All lenses are full-frame with a 1.33x squeeze factor, a maximum aperture of T2 and much more. We took these lenses for a short spin and came back with a solid opinion. Curious to find out more?

Needless to say, that does not degrade our professionalism or dedication to what we do. The fact that many of us are “running solo” or in small teams makes us want to be even more focused and knowledgeable, as at times there is no additional staff to fill such supporting roles as there are on bigger sets. So next to storytelling, there is another thing that unites us all and this is the unlimited amount of effort to make our footage look different and unique. This has become even more of a topic since filming in general is so much more accessible now than it’s ever been before. Viltrox EPIC Anamorphic Lenses.
