Introducing the Atlas Orion SE 50mm T2
The Atlas Orion SE 50mm T2 is an iconic Silver Edition anamorphic lens, particularly prized for its natural and cinematic rendering. Positioned at the heart of the Orion range, it offers an ideal balance between anamorphic compression, depth of field, and accurate proportions, making it a strategic choice for feature films, premium series, and high-end advertising.
Thanks to its 2x anamorphic compression, theAtlas Orion SE 50mm T2 delivers an expansive horizontal field of view while maintaining extremely low distortion. Precise airspace tuning, combined with Silver Edition-specific coatings, produces anamorphic flares , contributing to a strong and consistent visual signature within a complete Orion setup.
Silver Edition Optical SignatureAtlas Orion SE 50mm T2
At its widest aperture of T2, the lens produces a subtle spherical aberration glow, adding softness and character to images, especially in natural light or backlit situations. Stopping down to T2.8 or widerresults in particularly sharp performance on flat terrain, ensuring accurate rendering of textures and details.
The Silver Edition philosophy emphasizes a dynamic interaction with light sources, allowing for the creation of controlled anamorphic flares that enrich the visual narrative without altering the color balance.
Professional and homogeneous mechanical construction
The lens features a 14-blade iris that produces a smooth, organic bokeh. All optical elements are made of glass (no plastic components), ensuring robustness and optical stability. 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 unified to minimize adjustments when changing lenses. The 136mm ensures native compatibility with a wide range of professional matte boxes.
