Rectilux customers will know that proceeds from Rectilux sales get re-invested in research toward building anamorphic primes and also mechanical improvements. The photo below is the first of many prototypes of Dominion anamorphic glass, to test optical quality and manufacturing quality and custom processes. It therefore represents the first step toward Rectilux becoming an established designer and supplier of anamorphic lenses and cells in a variety of sizes.

Great!
Hope you can make some amazing glass at an affordable price!
I'd like a ~35-45mm and a ~75-85mm @ ~T1.5-2.0 :)

(-if the price is right, I'll buy the first two right now, before they are even made, as I know you make great quality glass)
 
Thanks , I shall try hard not to disappoint ;)


I will be going as wide as a 2.8/15mm ultrawide
 
This is great news. All anamorphic lenses atm are crazy priced. Hope you can make something affordable.
Do you know when you can release them? Or even when you got a working prototype?
 
Count me in. (2) lens sets..... sold!
 
Not making a formal request or anything, but I am very interested in anamorphics that will cover the Helium at 8k 6:5. I think it could be a really amazing format.

Excited to follow the progress.
 
Hi Joe, this is first step, mainly concentrating on manufacturing quality and production issues, after that pricings can be understood better

YUP, everything from S16 to Pana70 is fair game, the designs are scaleable and reversible
 
John, this is excellent news! I'm really enjoying your Rectilux Hardcore DNA with has breathed new life back into my stiffly focused Iscorama. I can't wait to see what you have next in store!
 
Interesting stuff. I didn't realize that Rectilux had any plans to build full anamorphic lenses in addition to your current line of adapters.

What ball park price would you expect an individual anamorphic prime and a 3 lens set to come to?
 
Dominion alpha prototype anamorphic lens in its test housing sandwiched between HCDNA and an Olympus lens. Alpha phase testing is complete and some minor changes to the optics are scheduled to start to bring it to beta. There is more than one element of surprise in Dominion – designed to meet your approval on performance and price, so be sure to check back for the next update.

Ultra wide primes and pricing will be announced after prototyping phase is complete

Aah its a anamorphic adapter, I thought it was gonna be a full anamorphic lens :)
