THE
UNSEEN
MADE LIGHT

The OBSCURA Anamorph 40 gathers a scene the way memory does — soft at the edges, impossibly present at the center. One glass. One purpose. Rendered on a stage so it can be seen the way it deserves.

Element 01

Fourteen elements in nine groups, each hand-polished to a quarter-wave of green light.

Coating

The Ember multilayer coat suppresses flare yet leaves one warm bloom on purpose.

Focus

A 300° cine barrel with witness marks, geared for follow-focus down to 0.28m.

The Iris

Fifteen blades that close like a held breath.

Most lenses draw a polygon. Ours draws a circle at every stop — a rounded 15-blade iris that keeps out-of-focus points perfectly round from wide open to T16, so bokeh stays liquid instead of geometric. Drag your eye across the field below; the blades open on cue.

The Ember Coat

A proprietary multilayer that eats stray reflections while letting a single warm halo survive around highlights — the signature glow you can't fake in post. Every barrel is coated in small batches and numbered.

True 2x Squeeze

Genuine anamorphic compression, not a cropped fake — with horizontal flares that stretch like the films you grew up on.

Sealed Housing

Rated to fog, dust and desert heat. Built for sets that don't stop for weather.

Focus You Can Trust

A 300-degree throw with laser-etched witness marks that read the same at 3AM as they do in daylight. Zero focus breathing, so a rack pull never changes the frame — just the story inside it.

Cut to Order

Each set is ground, tuned and shipped in eleven weeks — never held in a warehouse.

The Lineup

Three focal lengths. One rendering.

Matched across the set so a cut never betrays a lens change — color, contrast and that Ember bloom carry through wide, normal and long.
