The 1.55x Anamorphic T-Series Mobile Lens II from Moment delivers a dramatic letterbox image for creating cinematic imaging ratios using a smartphone. It brings video to life in a way that typical, non-anamorphic lenses can't. It works by squeezing the image horizontally at a 1.55x factor to record a higher resolution onto the smartphone image sensor. The image can then be de-squeezed in real time using an app, such as Moment's Pro Camera app, or during post-production for true cinematic imaging.
The anamorphic nature of this lens reveals how light behaves when it fails to be fully controlled by incorporating lens flare, streaks, and reflections. This anamorphic lens adapter honors cinematic lineage by deliberately recreating imperfections caused by heavy use and imperfect materials.
The NaturalTone Anamorphic Mobile Lens II uses highly uniform coatings designed to reflect all wavelengths evenly to preserve natural colors instead of pushing a particular wavelength. Flares remain neutral to whatever color the light source actually is, providing a look that offers maximum creative freedom. The anamorphic shape and bokeh remain, but the lens steps back and lets the cinematographer decide how the image feels.
