Anamorphic 1.33x Mobile Lens - Open Box, M-Series / Gold Flare
Our Review
Moment Anamorphic 1.33x Mobile Lens (Open Box) — Widescreen Cinematic Look on Your iPhone
The gist: A T-Series anamorphic lens that squeezes your iPhone sensor to a 2.40:1 widescreen ratio — the horizontal stretch, oval bokeh, and signature blue flares that make travel footage look like a film rather than a phone video.
- 2.40:1 widescreen output: Captures 33% more scene horizontally than a standard lens at the same focal length — wide mountain vistas, city skylines, and coastal sunsets fit the frame without cropping.
- Iconic blue horizontal lens flares: Natural light sources (headlights, sunsets, streetlights) produce horizontal blue streaks — the cinematic signature of anamorphic glass, not a filter effect.
- Pill-shaped bokeh: Out-of-focus areas take on an oval shape unique to anamorphic optics — a visual marker that distinguishes anamorphic footage from standard mobile video.
- T-Series 20% wider aperture: Improved light performance over the older M-Series; designed for iPhone 14 and newer sensors for sharper center resolution.
Moment’s own reviewer Robin Ferand called the 1.33x Anamorphic “among Moment’s best mobile lenses,” noting it “easily captures cinematic shots” with genuine anamorphic bokeh and flare characteristics.
Best for: Travel filmmakers and content creators who want a distinctive cinematic look without carrying a dedicated camera. Skip it if: You primarily shoot stills or don’t want to learn de-squeeze workflow — post-processing the anamorphic stretch adds a step to every clip. Requires a Moment case and Drop-In Mount.
