I always loved shooting with Anamorphic lenses but it was always difficult with the amount of traveling I do. A couple months ago when the team over at Atlas Lens Co. told me about their latest lens series, I thought it would be perfect for me and I knew I would love this lens from the moment I shot my first projects on it.

I loved this lens for a variety of reasons but the size and form factor is extremely appealing. I still remember lugging around an anamorphic in Qatar and Azerbaijan last year. It was a good workout but I'm not sure if I would do it again if I was carrying everything solo. The build quality of this lens is super pro as well. I don't have to be so careful as I do with my other lens and this allows me to worry less and shoot more.
