Kowa Cine Prominar are Japanese 2x anamorphic lenses from the 1970s. Their rendering has low contrast and a warm tone; flare and ghosting appear easily and sometimes unpredictably; sharpness falls off toward the edges and distortion increases, giving the image strong three-dimensionality.
The P+S Technik conversion brings a PL mount and uniform 80 mm front diameter with 77 mm thread. For 2x anamorphic they are fairly light – approx. 1.1–1.5 kg in conversion.
