The Mark II Pro-Line Filters from Vid-Atlantic are a new redesign of our existing filters.

We offer 2 sizes to keep things simple; 58mm for the majority of “anamorphic friendly” lenses, and 82mm for larger cinema-style lenses.

We recommend using convenient, easy-to-find standard step-up and down rings if your lenses have sizes other than 58mm or 82mm.

Please note that ALL Pro-Line Mark II CineMorph (Oval Bokeh Anamorphic-Looks) Filters will not include optical glass. This is to minimize refractions, ghosting, & reflections as well as allowing maximum resolution & sharpness.

For best results, use CineMorph on medium to tight focal lengths (50mm and longer) with fast apertures between f/0.95 and f/2.8 - what we call “anamorphic-friendly SLR lenses.” Reliable examples include the Helios 58mm f/2, Jupiter or Nikon 85mm f/2, and classic 50mm–55mm f/1.4 primes.

These lenses are sharp, affordable, and fun to use with or without anamorphic filters. Our Flare-Streak filters work with most lenses over 20mm and don't have the same limitations. This option is availble in the drop-down menu above.

Originally designed to work hand-in-hand with real Anamorphic Lenses, CineMorph Filter footage matched so effortlessly for focus-pulling and fast setups that filmmakers soon began relying on it as their primary A-camera tool for a consistent, cinematic look.

What is the Glass-less Version?

Our Glass-less CineMorph works exactly like the glass version; the anamorphic effects are identical (oval bokeh + streak flares).
Many users already remove the glass to reduce reflections and ghosting, especially when stacking other filters such as ND, variable ND/faders, diopters, or polarizers. The Glass-less option saves you the extra step and saves you a few bucks!

About Larger Filter Sizes

• 77mm and 82mm CineMorph filters are not recommended for smaller-front lenses.
  Use a 58 mm CineMorph with a step ring instead for better results.

• Only a small number of lenses can properly use 77mm or 82mm CineMorph filters due to focal-length and aperture limits.

• However, 77mm and 82mm Flare-Streak filters (without the Oval Bokeh Component) work well on most lenses over 20mm and do not have these restrictions.

Why Choose CineMorph Over a Real Anamorphic Lens?

The CineMorph Filter delivers the essential anamorphic look; oval “waterfall” bokeh, horizontal streaks, and stylized flares without the heavy rigging, dual-focusing, or high cost of true anamorphic lenses. It’s a fast, flexible “anamorfake” approach designed for standard SLR or cinema lenses.

Natural 16:9 Workflow

The CineMorph Filters do not squeeze the image, so you can shoot normally in 16:9 and crop to your preferred aspect ratio in post. Despite being a filter, the CineMorph Filters have even fooled seasoned anamorphic shooters & world-renowned cinematographers in side-by-side tests.

Optical Quality & Alignment

• Mounted in a smooth rotating filter frame for easy streak alignment

• Uses sharp optical glass (or Glass-less plate) that does not soften the center image

• Glass can be removed if needed

Recommended Lenses & Shooting Tips

• Aperture: f/0.95 – f/2.8 (ideal to shoot wide open)

• Lens Type: Prime lenses with smaller front diameters. We recommend classic manual-focus lenses such as:

  • Nikon AI & E-Series: 85mm f/2, 100mm f/2.8, 135mm

  • Helios 58mm f/2

  • Jupiter 85mm f/2

  • Tair 135mm f/2.8

  • Takumar 55mm f/1.8

  • Canon FD Primes

• Use the proper adapter for your camera system (e.g., Nikon → EOS, FD → EOS, M42 → Sony E, etc.). These adapters are inexpensive and easy to find on Amazon, eBay, or most camera stores.

• On wider focal lengths (especially with crop sensors), flare/streak lines appear shorter in the frame. This is normal.

• The CineMorph Filter supports true focus-pulling and rack focus, something that’s difficult or impossible with many traditional anamorphic projection setups that require dual focusing.

Filter Stacking

All CineMorph filters include matching front + rear threads, so you can stack:

• ND / Variable ND

• Polarizers

• Diopters

• Wide-angle converters (for a broader field of view)

Some zoom lenses can work with CineMorph, but only if they have smaller front elements. For example, a Canon 70–200 mm on a full-frame sensor will not work at focal lengths below 150mm because the front element is too large to properly shoot through the CineMorph bokeh mask.

See our CineMorph Mod Filter for the Canon-mount Sigma 18–35 mm f/1.8 HERE.

As with true anamorphic setups, CineMorph performs best on older SLR lenses; Canon, Nikon, and M42-mount Russian or Japanese primes with 49mm to 62mm front diameters. Classic lenses like the 50mm f/1.8, 58mm f/2, 85mm f/2, 100mm f/2.8, and 135mm f/2.8 produce excellent results. These vintage primes are sharp, well-built, fun to use, and typically far more affordable than modern equivalents.
