The Mercury Series showcases exceptional optical performance, color performance, and clarity with vintage geometric personality. The Mercury lenses feature a golden lens flare when direct light sources hit the glass. They also have excellent close-focus with near-zero chromatic aberration, allowing Mercury Series lenses to be used in all kinds of demanding scenarios. The Mercury Series lenses are crisp and resolute, while optimized to bring out the beauty in a variety of skin tones.
Imaging area of 36.7mm x 25.54mm covers full-frame sensors as well as 16:9 / 3:2 / 4:3 sensors, with easy delivery to 2:1 / 2.25:1 / 2.66:1 / 2.4:1.
In addition to the ease of supporting multiple delivery aspects, the Mercury Series 1.5x optical design allows for many of the visual characteristics image-makers love about the traditional 2x cinemascope format (oblong oval bokeh, barrel distortion, shallow depth of field) while also allowing for a meaningful size and weight reduction in the overall physical product design. This results in an ideal balance of compact size, weight, optical performance, and professional-focused usability across a variety of productions.
