The Caldwell Chameleon SC series offers a unique blend of vintage anamorphic character and modern optical performance, designed specifically for Super 35mm sensors. With a 1.79x anamorphic squeeze, these lenses provide a classic widescreen aesthetic with minimal distortion and a controlled, elegant blue flair, reminiscent of classic cinema. The SC designation, standing for "Standard Coverage," ensures optimal use of the Super 35 sensor area, capturing the distinctive aberrations and optical characteristics that give anamorphic lenses their celebrated look.

The set provides a range of fast T2.0 apertures on most focal lengths, ensuring superb low-light capability and a beautiful, oval-shaped bokeh. The Chameleons are built with a consistent size and weight across the set, which streamlines camera builds and allows for quick lens changes on set. For cinematographers seeking to achieve the iconic anamorphic look on a Super 35 camera without the bulk and unpredictability of vintage glass, the Caldwell Chameleon SC lenses are a perfect choice.
