The Blazar Mantis 135mm T3.2 is the longest focal length in the Mantis anamorphic series, built for filmmakers who want maximum subject isolation and cinematic compression without sacrificing sharpness or control.
Covering full-frame sensors (36×24 mm) with a 1.33x horizontal squeeze, this lens delivers a wide cinematic aspect ratio while maintaining manageable workflow for modern productions. The 135mm focal length is ideal for emotional close-ups, beauty shots, fashion, and narrative moments where background separation and perspective compression matter.
Signature amber anamorphic flares bloom naturally under hard light sources, while the 14-blade iris produces smooth, oval bokeh with pleasing falloff. With a T3.2 aperture, the lens balances depth, sharpness, and flare control — especially useful in tropical daylight or controlled studio lighting.
Built in a compact, lightweight housing (800 g) with standard 0.8 MOD cine gears, the Mantis 135mm integrates easily into gimbal, handheld, dolly, or studio setups. Reliable mechanics and long focus throw make it suitable for professional focus pullers on demanding shoots.
Whether you’re shooting a commercial in Bangkok, a fashion film in Phuket, or narrative work in Chiang Mai, this lens brings true anamorphic character without the bulk of vintage glass.
