Marketing VS Reality: The Truth Behind The Anamorphic Look | Atlas Mercury Review

I hope this helps clear the air regarding what people should be looking for when trying anamorphic glass. Obviously this is an art form so you can like and do whatever you want, but there's still a specific purpose behind using such a tool.

Also.. how amazing are these Atlas Mercurys?!

And shoutout to the team who was apart of that western shoot. Couldn’t of done it without y’all! Dream team.
