The Blazar Apex 50mm T1.8 1.33X S35 Auto-Focus Anamorphic Lens (L Mount) is the world's first autofocus anamorphic cinema lens, designed for Super 35/APS-C cameras. Featuring a fast T1.8 aperture, 1.33X anamorphic squeeze, advanced AF/MF focus-by-wire system, real-time eye tracking, and natural anamorphic flares, it delivers cinematic widescreen imagery with professional autofocus performance for filmmaking, commercial production, and content creation.
The Blazar Apex 50mm T1.8 1.33X S35 Auto-Focus Anamorphic Lens (L Mount) sets a new standard in anamorphic cinematography as the world's first autofocus anamorphic lens. Designed specifically for Super 35 and APS-C sensor cameras, it combines the timeless visual appeal of anamorphic optics with cutting-edge autofocus technology, making cinematic filmmaking more accessible than ever.
Powered by an advanced focus-by-wire system, the Apex allows seamless switching between autofocus and manual focus modes. Intelligent real-time subject tracking and eye-detection autofocus provide fast, precise focus acquisition, making it ideal for moving subjects, documentary work, solo operators, and dynamic productions. When manual precision is required, the cinema-standard 0.8 MOD focus gear enables smooth, professional follow-focus operation.
The lens features a bright T1.8 aperture, delivering outstanding low-light performance and beautiful subject separation while producing signature oval bokeh. Its refined 1.33X anamorphic squeeze creates a wider cinematic field of view with subtle, natural anamorphic flares that enhance the image without becoming distracting.
Designed with filmmakers in mind, the Apex minimizes focus breathing, ensuring natural focus transitions without noticeable framing changes. Classic barrel distortion adds a touch of vintage anamorphic character while maintaining excellent overall image quality for modern productions.
Built with a durable professional cinema housing, the lens features a standardized 80 mm front diameter, 77 mm filter thread, and compact 717 g lightweight design, making it suitable for handheld shooting, gimbals, drones, and studio productions alike.
