Achieving the coveted anamorphic look has become simpler with the Apollo anamorphic primes from Xelmus. Primes have an impressive close focus of 25mm and lenses have a common front diameter of 104mm (except 32mm, 40mm with 114mm). There’s a 14-bladed iris for smooth flares. Visuals have less chromatic aberration and better light transmission than other anamorphic glass.
The Apollo primes have excellent mechanics. Light, compact, with NASA-themed red, white, black housing. Anti-mump system that restricts breathing to the vertical axis. Focus ring has a smooth 270° focal rotation. Although there isn’t a universal aperture, there is an impressively low T-stop on each prime, ranging from T1.7-T2.8. Standard .8m gears for both focus and aperture.
