CALDWELL Chameleon Anamorphic 1:79X

MODERN OPTICS WITH A CLASSIC LOOK

Using a 1.79x squeeze ratio better suited to digital sensors, the chameleons can be configured with different rear optical groups for different applications: covering s35+ cameras or configured to cover the large format cameras like the Venice, LF and the Monstro. All lenses within a series are uniform in size and have Minimum focus of 2.5 feet. The 1.79x anamorphic squeeze ratio is the perfect balance of anamorphic look and maximal use of sensor area. Having two series with different image circles allows the cinematographer to embrace character and edge aberrations, or opt for a cleaner, more restrained image, depending on the shot or project.  The Chameleons have the distinctive aberrations one would expect from anamorphic lenses, but with a subtle elegance. The flare characteristic is reminiscent of anamorphic lenses of yesteryear, though show restraint and are readily controllable.
