  • Attachment producing anamorphic effect
    Patent number: 11960099
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for producing non-rotationally symmetric optical aberrations. Such aberrations may be created by a removable attachment that may be attached to another lens, such as a spherical lens. Aberrations that appear to reproduce an anamorphic effect may be produced, yet the underlying camera system may remain a spherical camera system, and the capture mode may remain non-anamorphic.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: Panavision International, L.P.
    Inventors: Daniel Keith Sasaki, Brian Grant Mills, Rick Takeshi Ishioka
