We started Atlas Lens Co. with two goals in mind: To create the lenses that we wanted to use for our own films, while making them accessible to more cinematographers and image-makers everywhere.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, USA, we design and manufacture affordable, high-performance cinema tools that deliver vintage anamorphic aesthetics with the conveniences of modern mechanical design. Our lenses are designed to empower innovative image-makers to bring their visions to life.
Atlas Lens Co. was founded in 2016 by lead designer Forrest Schultz and cinematographer Dan Kanes. We design high-performance cinema lenses that combine classic character with modern engineering and optical innovation.
Featuring Orion Series, Mercury Series, KAIZEN 65, and a glimpse into the large future of cinema lenses…
