Hyperion Optics specializes in custom anamorphic optics design and production. We are experienced in creating custom solutions for unique applications such as projection and anamorphic photography. Generally speaking, these lenses are special systems that effectively change the aspect ratios when projecting the image onto the camera sensor.

Compared to a more common type spherical lenses, which project images onto the sensor without causing an aspect ratio change, 2.35 1 anamorphic lens compress along the longer dimension and require subsequent stretching in post-production or at the projector for the output image to be properly displayed.
