The BLAZAR MANTIS 50mm T2.0 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens is a lightweight professional cinema lens designed to deliver a classic anamorphic aesthetic in a compact form. Featuring a 1.33X squeeze ratio, full-frame 36×24mm coverage, T2–T22 aperture range, and a signature oval bokeh design, it produces a 2X-style cinematic look with amber flares while remaining highly portable at just 760g—ideal for solo creators and run-and-gun filmmaking.
The BLAZAR MANTIS 50mm T2.0 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens is designed to combine cinematic image quality with practical usability for modern filmmakers. Built with a PL mount, this lens delivers a true anamorphic experience with a 1.33X squeeze factor that produces a widescreen cinematic look equivalent to a 2X aesthetic when paired with full-frame 36×24mm sensors.
Despite its compact size, the Mantis lens offers professional-grade optical performance, including a 14-blade iris, T2 to T22 aperture range, and oval-shaped bokeh that enhances depth and visual separation. The lens also produces a rich amber flare signature, giving footage a warm, cinematic character.
With a 0.48m (1.57ft) close focusing distance, 180° focus rotation, and 66.9° aperture rotation, the lens provides precise manual control for dynamic cinematic compositions. The 80mm front diameter and 77mm × 0.75 filter thread ensure compatibility with standard cinema accessories.
Weighing only 760g (1.67 lb), the MANTIS series is optimized for portability, making it an excellent choice for handheld shooting, solo operators, documentary filmmaking, and agile production environments without compromising image quality.
