Born from a passion for image-making, optics, and engineering, Arke Optics is a UK-based company dedicated to creating exceptional tools for cinematographers.

​

We believe that the equipment behind the camera should do more than perform flawlessly—it should empower filmmakers to realise their creative vision and leave their own distinctive mark on every frame. By combining innovative optical design with precision engineering, we develop products that inspire confidence, creativity, and craftsmanship.

​

Arke Optics was founded on the idea that beautiful images are shaped not only by the cinematographer, but also by the tools they choose to use. 

​

The 'Series One', embodies this philosophy. A 1.8x squeeze anamorphic lens designed for modern filmmakers, it combines the unmistakable character and cinematic rendering of classic anamorphic optics with the reliability and precision demanded by contemporary productions.​​
