Typical lenses shoot a 16:9 aspect ratio, while the Anamorphic Lens captures at 2.40:1 making it ideal for widescreen viewing. In other words, you can capture a super wide-angle image with the inherent shallow depth of field and perspective of a telephoto lens.

A classic cinematic look is to put black bars on top and bottom of the video. Without an anamorphic lens you have to cut off the footage on the top and bottom of the scene. With Anamorphic you donāt have to do that. The lens organically captures that wider 2.40:1 aspect ratio.
You know those drool-worthy horizontal flares that you see in Hollywood movies, yeah we love them too! True anamorphic lenses have unmistakable horizontal lens elements instead of the spherical elements found in most camera lenses. These cylindrical optics and vintage style coatings create unmistakable oval bokeh, unique light artifacts, and horizontal lens flares found in vintage anamorphics.
Our lens construction is true to the signature anamorphic look down to a the very last detail. You'll notice the barrel-distortion on the sides of the image, bending slightly inwards, achieving that look you'll be familiar with from films like Pulp Fiction and Blade Runner.
An Anamorphic lens turns normal phone video into a 16:9, wide screen movie. It makes video appear smoother and then when you get the right light hitting the lens it creates these yummy flares on your footage. We bring a cinema style of video to your phone.
When you pick up a Moment Lens, you instantly feel the quality. This isnāt a cheap plastic lens. Instead, itās made of aerospace-grade metal and the same hand-polished glass used for high-end 4K film lenses. It adds just enough weight to your phone, without weighing you down.
This Anamorphic is part of our M-Series lenses that is compatible with the latest iPhone, Pixel, Galaxy, and One Plus Phones. One thing that makes Moment lenses unique is the detail we put into the metal body of the lens and the interface on the bottom. Made from an aerospace-grade metal we ensure each lens smoothly rotates in and out of our Moment Cases.
We've made two versions of our 1.33x Anamorphic Lens. They are the Gold and the Blue Flare, identical in all aspects, apart from the color of flares they produce.
Blue Flare
Gold Flare
The Anamorphic Lens has been tested with all models of the iPhone 14 and IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. Working over the 1x wide and 3x tele lens on the phone, your shots will be elevated to the next level.
Not a filmmaker? The perspective of the Anamorphic Lens makes for unique stills with oval bokeh and a wide field of view thatās perfect for landscapes and portraits.
