Testimonials

Impressions from filmmakers and industry professionals about their experiences with Coral Anamorphic Lenses.

"Wow!! The lenses are beautiful. Everyone was blown away by them. When I first saw them, our actors were standing by the water at night, and all the city lights sparkled behind them. Color rendition, skin tones, and clarity are fantastic. It rekindled the love of anamorphic for my director. The focus pullers told me they were drawn into the scene even more (which is exactly what I was going for). Our showrunners thought the scene was magical."

"I felt very comfortable from the very first moment. I was able to accurately get the texture I wanted for this film. The level of blur is perfectly adjusted with the aperture and the minimum distances, especially with the 35mm, are fantastic. I love this lens. It has everything I look for in an optic. It's really special at short distances. It's organic and sophisticated. It can look angular and close at the same time. My most sincere congratulations to all of you. I'm going to shoot a lot of films with these lenses, they're among my favourite anamorphic lenses."
Josu Inchaustegui, AEC
Director of Photography
"I’m very happy with how these lenses look. Especially wide open there is a very organic way on the highlights. The flare looks amazing, they are very controllable and when you want it, they have an organic feel. Super excited to shoot this project with the new lenses. They gave me a look that I was after for a long time."
Bjorn Charpentier, SBC
Director of Photography
"I recently had the great pleasure of using one of the first sets of Coral Anamorphics. The moment I saw the images they produced, I was amazed by their very organic feel and texture, particularly when wide open. They strike a perfect balance between character and sharpness, offering a lot of control over the look while never feeling overwhelming or intrusive. Additionally, they have an exceptionally remarkable close focus, offering a great deal of flexibility while shooting. Very much looking forward using them again in the future!"
