Anamorphic lenses give you the wide frame, oval bokeh and horizontal flares that make footage feel instantly cinematic. Yellow Cactus in Stoke Newington, N16 has a range of anamorphic sets to hire, from £100 a day.
What's on our shelf:
2x sets give you the classic, strong anamorphic look and suit 4:3 or open-gate sensors. 1.5x sets work well on 16:9 and full-frame sensors and are easier to deliver in standard widescreen. Each product page lists the focal lengths and exactly what comes in the set, along with the current rates.
Anamorphics pair beautifully with the ARRI Alexa Mini, the Alexa Mini LF and the RED V-Raptor X 8K. Matte boxes, follow focus, filters and the rest of the camera package are on our full kit list.
