Introducing the Orion Atlas 100mm T2

The Atlas Orion 100mm T2 is an anamorphic telephoto lens from the Orion series, designed to offer pronounced perspective compression and elegant subject isolation. Particularly suited to cinematic portraits and -ups, this lens enhances the emotional impact of a scene while maintaining the characteristic aesthetic of anamorphic lenses.

Thanks to its 2x anamorphic compression, theAtlas Orion 100mm T2 delivers a wide horizontal field of view while maintaining extremely low distortion. Its true anamorphic front group generates the signature optical characteristics of the anamorphic format: pictorial elliptical bokeh, expressive optical breathing, and distinctive yet controlled horizontal flares.

Anamorphic optical signatureAtlas Orion 100mm T2

At its widest aperture of T2, the lens produces a slight spherical aberration glow that adds softness and character to images. This optical signature is particularly appreciated for portraits and emotional scenes requiring expressive depth of field. Stopping down to T2.8 or wider, performance becomes exceptionally sharp on flat terrain, allowing for precise rendering of textures and details.

The Orion series’ signature anamorphic rendering is distinguished by a natural elliptical bokeh and elegant background compression. Horizontal flares are present but controlled, providing a cinematic visual signature while maintaining excellent image clarity.

Filming compatibility and versatility

TheAtlas Orion 100mm T2 features a native PL mount, making it directly compatible with professional digital cinema cameras such as Arri, RED, and Sony. It can also be used on Canon EF cameras or mirrorless cameras via appropriate adapters.

Like the entire Orion series, this lens also respects the mechanical constraints of 35mm film cameras equipped with a rotating mirror shutter. Its image circle larger than 35mm ensures optimal coverage for both digital and film productions.
