XELMUS has announced more details about its upcoming AURA 2x Anamorphic S35 Series after they were first shown at Camerimage this year.
The first A set to be released contains 4 lenses:
- 30mm T2.2
- 50mm T2.2
- 75mm T2.2
- 135mm T2.5
The lenses utilize the same Astigmatizers focusing system as the APOLLO series, but they have been further upgraded, and feature more precise mechanics.
According to XELMUS, the AURA has beautiful waterfall bokeh, low barrel distortion, and low desaturated flare, with a modern contrasty look. The breathing is also claimed to be very well controlled. One of the key features of this series is the beautiful veiling glare that you find on Anamorphic lenses from ’60s and ’70s era.
The A set will start shipping on July 1st, 2025. The set includes 4 lenses only, with no option to buy a single lens. There is currently no information about pricing.
By the end of 2025, XELMUS will start preorders for the B set:
- 20mm T2.2
- 40mm T2.2
- 60mm MACRO (9.8 inch, 25cm) T2.2
