Ancient Optics STATERA 35mm & 40mm Anamorphic Lens Test by Old Fast Glass

This is a quick demo reel of our STATERA Anamorphic 35mm T2.4 and 40mm T2.3. These are the much-anticipated wide focal lengths in this amazing set! The test was captured with a Sony Venice 2, using the full 3:2 8.6K sensor, and presented in the traditional 2.40:1 aspect ratio to fully appreciate these lenses’ ultra-wide field of view. The goal of the video was to show sharpness wide open, close focus, distortion, bokeh character, focus breathing, and of course, lens flares. A Rec 709 LUT was applied. No sharpening. No manipulating the footage. This is straight out of the camera. We are obsessed with STATERA Anamorphics. As you can see, their character is inspired by vintage anamorphic lenses. But these are new optical designs, in new modern housings, with excellent reliable mechanics, and impressive close focus. We feel that they are some of the most beautiful anamorphic lenses out there, and one of the few sets that covers full frame sensors. As you can see the 1.5x squeeze gives you so much classic anamorphic character, while giving you the most flexibility when it comes to your camera’s sensor and your project’s aspect ratio.
