Caldwell Chameleons

Compact, lightweight 1.79x anamorphic prime lenses designed for digital sensors. The 1.79x squeeze ratio offers the perfect balance between a bold anamorphic look and maximum sensor coverage, with a retro rendering inspired by classic front anamorphic optics. Classic blue flares, characteristic barrel distortion, elliptical bokeh and vertical breathing with refined control. Available in Super 35 and Full Frame series with interchangeable rear groups. Zero mumps (oval head distortion). Used on major productions from Star Wars to recent feature films.
