The Moment 1.33x Anamorphic T-Series Mobile Lens II (Gold42) delivers a dramatic letterbox image for creating cinematic imaging ratios with a smartphone. It brings video to life in a way that typical, non-anamorphic lenses cannot. It works by squeezing the image horizontally at a 1.33x factor to record a higher resolution onto the smartphone image sensor. The image can then be de-squeezed in real time using an app, such as Moment’s Pro Camera app, or during post-production for true cinematic imaging.
Cinematic character
The anamorphic nature of this lens reveals how light behaves when it is not fully controlled, incorporating lens flare, streaks, and reflections. This anamorphic lens adapter honors cinematic lineage by deliberately recreating imperfections caused by heavy use and imperfect materials.
Gold42 look and inspiration
The Gold42 Anamorphic Mobile Lens II is inspired by multilayer-coated anamorphic lenses where blue reflections are more heavily suppressed, allowing warmer wavelengths to dominate. The result is a flare that shifts toward amber and gold, emulating the colour temperature of a tungsten light source. It draws inspiration from the legendary ISCO Iscorama 42 cinematography lens, rendering tones that appear warmer in daylight and richer under tungsten light and at sunset. Rather than producing a fixed colour, it delivers a dynamic response to real light.
