BLAZAR Mantis 1.33x Anamorphic — A New-Gen Solution with a Classic 2x Look
The BLAZAR Mantis 1.33x Anamorphic Set delivers modern optical precision with the cinematic character of classic 2x anamorphic glass. Built with a 1.33x squeeze ratio, this five-lens PL-mount set allows full sensor coverage on 16:9 cameras like the RED Komodo, Sony FX6, Venice, or ARRI Alexa Mini, while still producing the classic 2.35:1 widescreen image when desqueezed. The optical design is tuned for strong anamorphic flare, oval bokeh, and that edge fall-off that directors and DPs crave when shooting music videos, fashion pieces, or stylized narrative work.
This MANTIS FULL SET includes the following focal lengths:
-
25mm T2.4
-
35mm T2.0
-
50mm T2.0
-
75mm T2.0
-
100mm T2.4
All lenses are PL mount and are shipped in a hardcase for transport and protection.
Whether you’re shooting handheld, on gimbal, Steadicam, or drone, the lightweight design and unified gearing of the Mantis series make them exceptionally production-friendly. Each lens has industry-standard 0.8 mod gears, making follow focus integration effortless. The entire set maintains consistent color and rendering characteristics, ensuring seamless cutting between focal lengths.
