The P+S Technik Kowa Evolution 2x Anamorphic lenses are a modern reimagining of the classic Kowa Anamorphics, preserving their beloved vintage character while enhancing usability and durability for contemporary productions. Our set includes the rare wide angle adapter for the 40mm turning it into a 32mm with no light loss, as well as the 1.5x telephoto adapter for the 100mm turning into a 150mm with no light loss.

 

These lenses deliver the iconic oval bokeh, organic flares, and painterly focus falloff that made the original Kowas so sought after, but with improved mechanics, durability, and full lens data support. With a 2x anamorphic squeeze, they provide a true widescreen cinematic look, producing stunning barrel distortion, rich contrast, and natural color rendition—ideal for feature films, commercials, and high-end music videos seeking a classic yet refined anamorphic aesthetic.

The set includes 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm focal lengths, offering a versatile range for storytelling. Their consistent gears and build across the lineup ensures reliable performance and a uniform experience.
