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.
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.
Note: 77mm and 82mm Mark II Pro-Line CineMorph filters aren't recommended for smaller lenses. Use the 58mm CineMorph filter with a step ring if needed.
Few lenses work with our 77mm and 82mm CineMorph filters due to focal length and aperture limits. The 77mm and 82mm Flare-Streak filters work with most lenses over 20mm and don’t have the same limitations.
Why use CineMorph instead of a real anamorphic lens?
CineMorph offers the look of anamorphic—flares, streaks, and vertically stretched "waterfall" bokeh—without the complex rigging, dual focusing, or high cost. It’s an “Anamorfake” approach designed for fast, flexible shooting with standard SLR or cinema lenses.
While a real anamorphic lens is unmatched, CineMorph has fooled even seasoned anamorphic pros. It doesn’t squeeze the image, so you shoot in 16:9 and crop to your preferred aspect ratio in post.
The filter is mounted in a smooth rotating ring for easy alignment and uses sharp optical glass that won’t soften your image. You can also remove the glass if needed.
It’s ideal for fast lenses (f0.95 to f2.8), and we recommend shooting wide open. The filter allows true focus-pulling and rack focusing—something that’s nearly impossible with traditional anamorphic projection lenses, which can require focusing two lenses at once.
Best used on prime (non-zoom) lenses with smaller front diameters. For crop-sensor cameras, use 45mm or tighter focal lengths; for full-frame, 55mm or tighter for optimal results.
All CineMorph filters are stackable with matching front/rear threads, so you can add ND, polarizers, or faders. You can also stack a wide-angle converter in front if you need a broader field of view.
Anyone who works with CineMorph Filters, Anamorfaking, and Hybrid Anamorphic lenses like the MiniHawks should consider adding a hint of barrel distortion in post production. See how & why here.
