SECOND REEF CINE LENSES

Second Reef is a boutique lens maker dedicated to crafting modern anamorphic cinema lenses with bold character and distinctive visual qualities. Their flagship Coral 1.5x Anamorphic Primes are designed for full-frame coverage, offering cinematographers a balance between classic anamorphic aesthetics and contemporary performance. With their 1.5x squeeze, Coral lenses produce oval bokeh, expressive horizontal flares, and a widescreen look that retains more vertical resolution—making them especially versatile for today’s digital workflows. Praised for their organic rendering and “not clinical” sharpness, the Coral series delivers images that feel cinematic and textured without sacrificing reliability. Built with consistent mechanics, PL mounts, and robust housings, they are designed to withstand the demands of modern production while offering a creative edge. As a new but rapidly recognized name in cinema optics, Second Reef has established itself as a distinctive voice in the evolving world of anamorphic filmmaking.
