Viltrox AF EPIC Maestro 50mm T2 1.33x Anamorphic 50mm
Delivering a 2.35:1 de-squeezed ratio via 1.33x squeeze and a clean, flare-free design, it pairs T2 aperture with full-frame coverage on ARRI PL. The moon-white housing features a waterproof front coating, consistent gear placement, and a 95mm front diameter that integrates directly with pro matte boxes. Best for studio portrait shoots and narrative filmmaking where 1980g weight and 31-inch minimum focus are manageable, not for travel.
