FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Viltrox
Unveils New Products in LUNA
and EPIC
Professional Cinema Lens Series
LUNA
large-format zoom 10x lenses and EPIC anamorphic primes
Shenzhen, China, June 5th,
2025 -
Viltrox is shaking up professional cinematography with groundbreaking
new pro-quality lenses: LUNA
large-format zoom lenses and EPIC
anamorphic primes. These precision-engineered lenses address growing
demand for affordable, flexible, high-end cinema optics. They deliver
exceptional cinematic performance at competitive prices.
EPIC
1.33x Anamorphic Prime Series
Viltrox is expanding the EPIC
anamorphic series, which brings the
classic widescreen “big movie” aesthetic to modern production. EPIC
creates the distinctive ultra-wide cinematic grandeur of major
Hollywood films, with signature oval bokeh and horizontal lens flare.
EPIC’s
uniform 95mm front diameter and identical gear position in all
focal lengths make lens changes easy, without time-wasting
recalibration.
This lens series seamlessly squeezes the image by a factor of 1.33X,
achieving the coveted cinematic 2.35:1 aspect ratio, when paired with a
standard 16:9 sensor. Its precise distortion control—from close-ups to
wide shots—prevents common anamorphic flaws like facial widening
("anamorphic mumps"), while retaining signature oval bokeh and
distinctive color rendering. Advanced nano-coatings on the front lens
offer excellent smudge resistance and durability, for the toughest
shooting conditions.
The lenses offer three distinct flare characteristic sets: blue flare,
flare-suppressed, and silver flare options, all with minimal focus
breathing and identical chromatic response across all focal lengths,
for precise color matching during post-production.
Specialized
new EPIC
focal lengths expand creative possibilities
The EPIC
65mm T2.8 Macro 1.33X Anamorphic PL’s 65mm focal length lens
immersively explores the microscopic world through a cinematic frame,
with attractive background separation and signature blue streak flares.
Engineered with a 1:4 magnification ratio, this lens delivers
exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness at minimum focusing distance,
precisely resolving micro-scale movement. Precision construction
suppresses focus breathing, while buttery-smooth focus transitions
ensure seamless cinematography for dynamic macro sequences.
The EPIC
135mm T2.4 1.33x Anamorphic PL, a telephoto anamorphic prime,
gives users distinctive spatial compression and strong subject
isolation, with signature oval bokeh and blue streak flares. The T2.4
aperture strikes the perfect balance between light intake and detailed
rendering, ensuring crisp visuals with a graceful blurred background.
The ultra-low distortion and premium aberration control, deliver
ultra-low distortion widescreen imagery without compromise. The lens
renders skin tones with natural warmth, while achieving precise color
fidelity.

lens sets for comprehensive focal length coverage
Viltrox’s EPIC
primes range from $3,299 to $4,299, with specialty
lenses (65mm Macro and 135mm telephoto) at $4,299 each. The EPIC
25/35/50/65/75/100/135 mm Maestro
