GoPro has released its Anamorphic Lens Mod for the Hero 13, enabling users to capture stylish, cinematic action shots with lens flares and professional-level effects, while maintaining ease of use and compatibility with existing features like HyperSmooth stabilization.
Atlas Lens Co. has unveiled a prototype of their upcoming Mercury series 54mm T2.2 1.5x anamorphic lens at NAB 2023. This lens is the first of three additional focal lengths, including 95mm and 138mm, to complement the existing 36mm, 42mm, and 72mm in a 6-lens set. The Mercury series is designed to cover full-frame sensors and offers a warm, vintage look with classic anamorphic barrel distortion, smooth bokeh transitions, and golden streak flares. The first pre-order batch of the original trio of Mercury lenses is expected to ship towards the end of Summer 2023, with each lens priced at $7,995 and the 3-lens set priced at $23,985.
