Vormaxlens (pronounced [Wormaxlens]) is a Russian project [1] specializing in the production of movie cameras and lenses for them. It was founded in Ivanovo as a small partnership that produces anamorphic projection and shooting lenses during the revival of interest in widescreen cinema in 2014 . The project began with customization and reworking of old manual lenses for modern digital cameras .
Vormaxlens released the first products of its own design in 2015 , in the field of equipment for digital-mirror technology, which allows for the shooting of a wide format ( CinemaScope ).
In 2017, the Vormaxlens project implemented the production of lenses for steadicam and multicopter [2] . The project also released other filters and diopters.
The project produces its goods, according to the requirements of modern filmmakers. In 2019, Vormaxlens patented the trademark [3] and began patenting its products.
Test engineers of the Vormaxlens project are located in North America [4] (USA, Canada), in Europe (Russia, Switzerland, France, Italy, Belarus).
Since November 2018, the project manager is Natalia V. Voronina.
