Xelmus released their first prototype version of Apollo Lenses in 2020 (mark i), and by 2021 had updated the optical designs, internal mechanics, and element coatings (mark ii). Our Xelmus Apollo lenses are the most current version (mark ii) with updated optics, improved mechanics, and matching coatings. In 2023, Xelmus updated the 40mm design (mark iii) to achieve full frame coverage - we have both the mkii and mkiii version of that 40mm lens, as well as the newest lens in the series, the 32mm, and a pre-order for the ultra-wide 25mm !

One of the main features of Xelmus Apollo lenses is the anti-mump system created in 1954 by Mr. Gottschalk from Panavision. With that system, whilst focusing from infinity to the close point, the image stretches only in a vertical direction (vertical breath), the horizontal axis stays locked. Additional improvements have been discovered including extreme close focus of only few inches from front element.

The optics are much smaller than a front variable diopters design system – which means – they are lighter weight, with less chromatic aberrations, and have better light transmission. Xelmus Apollo’s are much shorter when compared to most other anamorphic lenses on the market.
