The P+S Technik TECHNOVISION 1.5X set is a precision-engineered anamorphic lens series, catering to cinematographers who demand the distinctive optical characteristics of anamorphic glass. This set incorporates a 1.5x squeeze ratio, which strikes an optimal balance between the traditional 2x squeeze factor and the more common spherical lenses, offering an enhanced horizontal field of view with manageable post-production requirements. The 1.5x factor results in less image cropping and a greater retention of the sensor's resolution, delivering footage with pronounced oval bokeh, characteristic lens flares, and a distinctive depth compression that enhances visual storytelling.
Technically, the TECHNOVISION 1.5X lenses are designed with high-precision optics, featuring advanced coatings to reduce glare and maintain color fidelity across the entire image. Each lens in the series is constructed to ensure uniform performance with consistent colorimetry, sharpness, and contrast, facilitating seamless intercutting between different focal lengths. The set spans a comprehensive range of focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto, all meticulously calibrated to minimise chromatic aberrations and geometric distortion. These lenses employ sophisticated mechanical constructions, ensuring robust durability and smooth, precise focus and aperture control, making the P+S Technik TECHNOVISION 1.5X set a highly reliable choice for high-end cinematic applications.
These lenses have been used on a range of productions including:
Apocalypse Now (1979), The Last Emperor (1987), Suspiria (1977), Léon: The Professional (1994) — These classic films were shot using the original Technovision anamorphic lenses and are the visual benchmark that P+S Technik aimed to recreate with their new 1.5× set, preserving their signature cinematic aesthetics.
Black Adam (2021) — The Technovision primes were part of the lighting and gaffer kit on this big-budget production, utilised for their widescreen cinematic signature and rich visual texture.
