The P+S Technik Evolution 2x lenses are a remarkable rehousing and evolution of the beloved vintage Kowa Anamorphic primes, bringing their unique character to modern productions with enhanced mechanics. Our set, comprising the 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm focal lengths, provides the core of this distinctive anamorphic look.

These lenses deliver a genuine 2x anamorphic squeeze, producing classic widescreen images with characteristic oval bokeh, subtle barrel distortion, and beautiful, streaky flares. The Evolution 2x series maintains the low contrast and warm colour tones that made the original Kowas so desirable, offering a softer, more organic aesthetic compared to many contemporary sharp and clinical lenses.

P+S Technik has meticulously re-engineered the mechanics, providing modern cine-style housings with smooth, consistent 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears. The extended focus throw (200° on the focus ring) allows for precise focus pulls, a significant improvement over the original vintage lenses. Despite their anamorphic capabilities, the Evolution 2x lenses are surprisingly compact and lightweight, with an 80mm front diameter and 77mm filter thread. Perfect for Super 35mm sensors, this set is ideal for filmmakers looking to infuse their projects with a timeless, expressive visual style.
