About Glaswerk Optics
Glaswerk Optics develops anamorphic cine lenses for use with Full-Frame and VistaVision sensors in film production. The lenses of the Glaswerk ONE series combine modern optics with a characteristic vintage look and are aimed at high-end cinematography. To verify the image look, the company relies on 3D simulation; DCS metadata support is offered as a standard for features and integration. The team of Glaswerk and developers presents the products at industry events such as the BSC Expo in London and the Pacific Northwest Lens Summit in Portland. The website is available in German and English; the company has been featured, among others, in the CineD podcast Focus Check.
