The not-yet-announced lens was spotted in the Atlas Lens Instagram and FB Stories. Atlas Lens Co. has uploaded a picture of a production model of the Orion 2X Anamorphic 25mm T2, which was announced back at NAB 2019.

Atlas Orion 2X Anamorphic 25mm T2

The Orion 25mm prototype was presented at NAB 2019. Atlas stated that It was a hard mission to develop a really good wide-angle anamorphic lens. The 25mm is a 12.5mm horizontal field of view with a 2X anamorphic squeeze ratio. Although this is a wide-angle lens, Atlas emphasized that it’s characterized by its low distortion. Since then, Atlas hasn’t mentioned much about the lens, so a lot of us assumed that Atlas has ditched the project due to its complexity. Indeed, it’s hard to develop a wide angel 2X anamorphic lens that will produce professional results. Today, out of the blue, Atlas uploaded Instagram and FB stories showing a product model of the Orion 2X Anamorphic 25mm T2. Take a look at the screenshot.

Also, the story is available for 24 hours, so go ahead and send them questions about the lens before the stories expired:

Super 35 covering

No info if the Atlas LF Extender will be relevant to the 25mm, so not sure if the lens covers full-frame sensors, as this lens was designed for Super 35 sensors.

Price and availability

There’s no info about that yet. The 32mm is the more expensive lens in the series ($1,000 more compared to other Orions), thus the 25mm would probably cost $10,000 or even more. We’ll update the article as more information emerged.
