Product Information
Statera is the Latin word for Balance and that completely describes these stunning lenses.
They are made from some very special vintage, single coated taking lenses with custom made and coated anamorphic elements to give you all the character you could want whilst still keeping relatively high edge sharpness and low distortion. At 1.5x squeeze they produce all of the classic front anamorphic characteristics whilst maximising the resolution from modern digital sensors.
They all have a 15 blade circular iris so bokeh stays oval even when stopped down but they are really impressive wide open too with a really pleasing 3d swirl at the edges of frame.
Contrast is medium with really deep inky blacks and the flares are stunning peach, purple, red and orange.
Due to the moving diopter focus design the longer focal lengths are physically quite large but it’s this that allows hardly any breathing and really, really good close focus.
Pretty special stuff from Ancient Optics and Old Fast Glass once more.
