An affordable alternative to true anamorphic lenses. An oval optical element and a reflective stripe are integrated during modification – producing anamorphic‑style bokeh and horizontal lens flares. This modification does not affect color rendition – you get the lens’s natural colors.

This is not a true anamorphic lens – it’s a spherical lens modified to produce an oval bokeh effect and horizontal flare. You get a standard image without anamorphic squeeze.

The Mir-1 37mm f/2.8 lens was created in the Soviet Union, based on the German Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/2.8. This legendary lens, awarded the prestigious “Grand Prix” at the Brussels Expo in 1958, is renowned for its outstanding optical characteristics and distinctive vintage style. The Mir-1 stands out with its excellent image quality, vibrant colors, and high contrast.

This legendary lens has been adapted for use with modern video cameras equipped with follow focus systems, allowing you to capture incredible vintage images in your video projects. The modification provides smooth and precise focus control necessary for professional work, while preserving the unique character and quality of the Mir-1.
