Filmscape eyes latest anamorphic advances

Camera specialist Filmscape has taken delivery of a selection of new Anamorphic lensing options from Cooke, ARRI, Kowa and Lomo.

The Cooke Anamorphic/i family has garnered praise for its precision and versatility, and the ARRI Master range is particularly suited to 35mm format use. The Lomo/Hawk lens set offers all the characteristics of classic Anamorphic glass, housed in high-quality compact casings, whilst the Kowa Prominars deliver impressive results across a wide variety of shooting formats.

Commenting on the latest lens intake, MD Kevin Harvey said, “We have been steadily expanding our lens stock for a number of years. By following industry trends, and listening to exactly what cinematographers are asking for, we’ve been able to build a hire stock that offers clients the widest possible choice in quality, versatility and compatibility.”

Recent productions supplied by Filmscape include The Infiltrator, shot by cinematographer Joshua Reis, and Brotherhood, shot by DP Aaron Reid, plus a selection of high-end commercials.
