Rent ARRI Master Anamorphic in New York City
ARRI Master Anamorphics are precision-engineered ARRI/ZEISS lenses designed for maximum anamorphic performance with modern digital sensors. Featuring a 2.0x squeeze, consistent T1.9 aperture (T2.8 on the 135mm), and close-focus across the set, they deliver exceptional sharpness, controlled contrast, and uniform geometry with extremely low distortion and breathing. The optical design suppresses chromatic aberration and keeps flares tight and neutral, producing a clean, cinematic image that holds up under demanding VFX and heavy grading workflows.
The Kowa Cine Prominar anamorphic lenses were made in Japan in the 1970s and 80s. Their unique design produces a front anamorphic lens that delivers vintage anamorphic qualities but in a very compact and lightweight package. With the popularity of vintage anamorphic shooting and the need for lightweight lenses for gimbals and drones, Kowa anamorphics have become one of the most popular choices in anamorphic shooting.
These lenses are reminiscent of JDC Cooke Crystal (Xtal) Express Anamorphic Lenses, Todd AO and Cooke Technovision Anamorphic lenses, but with better mechanics and optics.

Rent Cooke Anamorphic SF in New York City
Cooke Anamorphic/i SF lenses pair classic Cooke anamorphic rendering with a tunable diffusion element that allows cinematographers to dial in halation, highlight bloom, and gentle contrast roll-off without filtration. Featuring a 2x squeeze, consistent T2.3 aperture (T2.8 on longer focal lengths), and Cooke’s /i Technology for lens metadata, they deliver the signature warm skin tones, smooth falloff, and organic oval bokeh the brand is known for. Compared to the standard Anamorphic/i set, the SF series introduces controlled softness while maintaining solid center resolution, ideal for narrative, commercials, and episodic work seeking a more romantic anamorphic texture straight out of camera.
Orion Series 2X anamorphic prime lenses are built to be a universal filmmaking tool — perfect for the latest professional film and digital cinema cameras with native PL mount or just as easily adapted to Canon EF-based cinema cameras. Orion series easily adapt to all mirrorless cameras because of their native PL mount.
This mechanically dependable prime lens features a design that is standardized across the series with unified focus and iris gear positions and a common 114mm front diameter that make lens swaps easier when using cine-style matte boxes and FIZ systems. The Orion 32mm prime comes with focus marks in feet but can be switched by the user to meters using a separately available focus scale.
