Frequently asked questions
Does the Juliya lens require de-squeezing in post-production?
No. While it produces anamorphic-style oval bokeh and flares, it is a spherical lens, so your image will not be compressed or require any de-squeezing.
Is the Juliya lens autofocus compatible?
No, this is a fully manual vintage lens. You must manually control both the focus and the aperture rings.
Will this fit my Sony A7IV or Canon R5?
Yes, but it requires a simple M42 to E-mount or M42 to RF-mount adapter, which is commonly included in professional rental kits.
