The BLAZAR MANTIS 25mm T2.4 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens (PL Mount) is designed to deliver the timeless aesthetics of classic 2X anamorphic cinematography while maintaining the practicality and versatility of a compact modern cinema lens. Engineered for professional filmmakers, the MANTIS series combines artistic optical character with precision performance to create cinematic images full of depth, texture, and emotion.
Its 1.33X anamorphic squeeze ratio produces an expanded horizontal field of view and delivers a cinematic 2:1 aspect ratio when paired with full-frame 36 × 24mm sensors. The lens recreates the signature look of traditional 2X anamorphic optics with beautiful oval bokeh, subtle barrel distortion, and enhanced cinematic depth, making it an excellent choice for feature films, commercials, documentaries, and music videos.
The fast T2.4 aperture provides excellent creative control while the 14-blade iris generates smooth, natural oval bokeh with pleasing focus fall-off. A standout feature is the lens's amber flare, carefully tuned to produce a warm, cinematic glow that enhances scenes without overpowering the image, creating a distinctive visual signature.

With a PL mount, 180° focus rotation, 80mm front diameter, and 77mm filter thread, the lens integrates seamlessly into professional cinema environments.
The BLAZAR MANTIS 25mm offers filmmakers an exceptional combination of portability, professional mechanics, and cinematic anamorphic character, making it an outstanding choice for creators seeking premium visuals without the size and weight of traditional anamorphic lenses.
