Cineovision are Japanese 2x front anamorphic lenses from the 1970s and 80s, built on fast spherical primes such as the Zeiss Super Speed or Canon K-35. At full aperture they render softly, dreamily and with low contrast, with blue flares, oval bokeh and pronounced barrel distortion at wide focal lengths.
Thanks to high aperture (T1.4–T1.6 at mid focal lengths), they are also suitable for low light. PL mount and Super 35 coverage; breathing and distortion decrease toward longer focal lengths.
