The Anamorphic Lens has been a staple in cinematic filmmaking since the 1950s. It’s known for its signature blue lens flare and widescreen aspect ratio, delivering the iconic Hollywood look. Now, you can capture that same cinematic style on your iPhone, transforming everyday shots into professional-grade visuals. With this attachable lens, filmmaking truly becomes mobile. This is a roundup of our favorite shots with the SANDMARC Anamorphic Lens, along with a breakdown of the Gold Flare and Blue Flare Anamorphic Lenses available.

The Anamorphic Lens from SANDMARC is available in two cinematic flare styles: Blue and Gold. The Blue Flare lens (1.55x) delivers the classic, sci-fi–inspired horizontal streaks often seen in blockbuster films, while the Gold Flare lens (1.33x) creates a warmer, more organic look reminiscent of vintage cinema. Both lenses provide a true widescreen aspect ratio, the Blue offering a wider 1.55x stretch and the Gold a subtler 1.33x, giving your iPhone footage an authentic, professional-grade cinematic feel.
