OVERVIEW
CINEMA HISTORY
Though technically an anamorphic zoom, the Lomo 40-120 is notable for its place in cinema history and the vintage Russian optical craft it represents. Sporting a T3.3-T4 range and delivering heavily stylized horizontal flares and painterly softness, this lens found its niche in arthouse and genre films seeking a distinctly analog flavor.
EXPERIMENTAL
It has occasionally surfaced in music videos and experimental features, where its pronounced anamorphic artifacts and subtle aberrations contribute to a look that feels inherently tied to an earlier era of widescreen filmmaking, evoking the aesthetics of Soviet cinema and beyond.
