The Blazar Beetle 65mm 1.33X Full Frame Pancake Anamorphic Lens (Z Mount) is an ultra-compact anamorphic cinema lens designed for Nikon Z-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Featuring a 1.33X anamorphic squeeze, fixed T3.2 aperture, signature silver flares, and an innovative 90° rotating lens mechanism, it allows creators to switch instantly between horizontal and vertical anamorphic shooting while maintaining cinematic widescreen imagery in a lightweight 290g design.
The Blazar Beetle 65mm 1.33X Full Frame Pancake Anamorphic Lens (Z Mount) brings professional anamorphic cinematography to compact mirrorless camera systems. Purpose-built for full-frame Nikon Z-mount cameras, this lightweight pancake lens combines classic anamorphic aesthetics with innovative functionality, making it ideal for filmmakers, content creators, and photographers who demand cinematic visuals without bulky equipment.
Its standout feature is the built-in 90° rotation button, allowing the lens to instantly switch between horizontal and vertical anamorphic shooting without removing or repositioning the camera. This makes it perfect for producing cinematic widescreen films as well as vertical content optimized for social media platforms.
With a 1.33X anamorphic squeeze, the Beetle delivers an expanded horizontal field of view, signature silver anamorphic flares, and beautiful oval bokeh that give footage an authentic cinematic character. The 65mm focal length is ideal for portraits, medium telephoto compositions, interviews, and cinematic close-ups with pleasing background compression.
Despite its professional optical performance, the Beetle weighs only 290g, making it an excellent choice for handheld filmmaking, gimbals, drones, and compact travel setups. A close focusing distance of 0.46 m (1.5 ft) enables detailed close-up shots while preserving the distinctive anamorphic rendering.
Designed with consistency in mind, the lens features a 60 mm front diameter, 55 mm filter thread, and smooth 200° focus rotation, allowing seamless integration into professional filmmaking workflows while remaining highly portable.
