The Atlas Mercury Series 3-Lens Kit offers a trio of full-frame anamorphic primes—36mm, 42mm, and 72mm—designed for filmmakers seeking a vintage aesthetic with modern reliability. These lenses feature a 1.5x squeeze ratio, delivering classic anamorphic characteristics such as golden flares, oval bokeh, and pleasing barrel distortion, all while maintaining a compact and lightweight form factor.
