Introducing the Atlas Orion SE 135mm T2.2
The Atlas Orion SE 135mm T2.2 is one of the longest anamorphic lenses in the Orion series, designed to deliver dramatic compression, strong subject isolation, and intense cinematic depth. Intended for feature film productions, premium series, and high-end advertising, this lens combines iconic big-screen aesthetics with a modern mechanical design consistent with the rest of the range.
Thanks to its 2x anamorphic compression, theAtlas Orion SE 135mm T2.2 delivers an expansive horizontal field of view while maintaining extremely low distortion. Precise airspace tuning, combined with specific Silver Edition coatings, produces anamorphic flares , enhancing the narrative dimension of -ups and dramatic compositions.
Silver Edition Optical SignatureAtlas Orion SE 135mm T2.2
With a maximum aperture of T2.2, the lens offers a particularly aesthetically pleasing shallow depth of field, ideal for isolating a subject and elegantly compressing the background. At wide apertures, a subtle glow of spherical aberration adds softness and character to images. Stopping down to T2.8 or wider, performance becomes especially sharp on flat terrain, ensuring precise detail reproduction.
The Silver Edition philosophy promotes a dynamic interaction with light sources, creating controlled anamorphic flares that fully participate in the visual identity of the project while maintaining a balanced color rendering.
Professional Mechanical Engineering
The lens features a 14-blade iris that produces a smooth, organic bokeh. All optical elements are made of glass (no plastic components), ensuring optical stability and durability. The body is machined from anodized aluminum with a scratch-resistant coating, suitable for demanding shooting environments.
Like the rest of the Orion series, the focus and iris positions are standardized to minimize adjustments when changing lenses. The 136mm ensures native compatibility with a wide range of professional matte boxes and cinema accessories.
