The BLAZAR MANTIS 100mm T2.4 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens delivers a classic cinematic anamorphic look in a compact and lightweight design. Featuring a 1.33X anamorphic squeeze, full-frame coverage, and an oval aperture that recreates the visual character of traditional 2X anamorphic lenses, it produces beautiful oval bokeh, subtle barrel distortion, and warm amber lens flares. With a T2.4 aperture, PL mount, and precision cinema mechanics, the MANTIS 100mm is ideal for portrait, commercial, and narrative filmmaking.
The BLAZAR MANTIS 100mm T2.4 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens is engineered for filmmakers seeking the timeless aesthetic of anamorphic cinematography in a compact and portable form. Designed as part of the MANTIS Series, this lens combines a 1.33X anamorphic squeeze ratio with an innovative oval-shaped aperture to recreate the visual depth and character traditionally associated with 2X anamorphic lenses.
Covering 36 × 24mm full-frame sensors, the MANTIS 100mm delivers an expanded horizontal field of view and produces a 2:1 aspect ratio when paired with full-frame cameras. Signature oval bokeh, classic barrel distortion, and carefully tuned amber lens flares add warmth and cinematic character to every shot without overwhelming the image.
With a T2.4 maximum aperture, the lens provides excellent subject separation and expressive depth while maintaining consistent optical performance. The 14-blade iris enhances smooth background rendering, while the 180° focus rotation offers precise manual focus control for professional cinema applications. A close focusing distance of 0.67m (2.2 ft) allows for detailed close-up compositions while preserving the distinctive anamorphic look.
Despite its professional optical design, the MANTIS 100mm weighs only 770g, making it an excellent choice for handheld shooting, gimbal setups, documentaries, commercials, music videos, and feature film production. Combining portability with exceptional anamorphic image quality, it is a versatile addition to any professional cinema kit.
