At its widest aperture of T2, the lens produces a subtle spherical aberration glow that adds softness and character to the image. Stopping down to T2.8 or wider, performance becomes particularly sharp on flat terrain, allowing for precise detail reproduction across the entire frame.

The Orion series’ typical anamorphic rendering offers a natural elliptical bokeh and expressive depth of field. Horizontal flares are present but controlled, providing an authentic cinematic signature while maintaining excellent artistic control.

Filming compatibility and versatility

TheAtlas Orion 32mm 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 with the help of suitable PL adapters.

The mechanical design of the Orion series also respects the 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.
