Mantis 135mm T3.2 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens
The Mantis 135mm T3.2 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens is a compact anamorphic telephoto lens for filmmakers who want to combine full-frame coverage with classic anamorphic character. With 1.33X squeeze, oval bokeh, warm amber flare and multi-frame support, the Mantis series delivers cinematic expression in a sleek format suitable for rig, handheld and run-and-gun production.
1.33X squeeze with 2X look
The Mantis series is designed to deliver the rich visual expression of a classic 2X anamorphic lens, but with a more flexible 1.33X squeeze. It delivers a cinematic image with improved composition, distinct anamorphic character and signature oval bokeh.
Full frame coverage for modern camera systems
The lens covers a 36 × 24 mm image circle and is adapted for full-frame shooting. This makes the Mantis 135mm a strong choice for modern cine and hybrid cameras where you want to retain the anamorphic look without compromising on sensor size.
Oval aperture for classic anamorphic character
With its consistent oval aperture shape, the lens creates a distinctly anamorphic rendering with oval bokeh, increased sense of depth and a more cinematic rendering of backgrounds and highlights.
Amber flare with a warm cinematic feel
The Mantis 135mm produces a flare color between neutral and amber, giving the image a subtle warm tone without taking over the scene. The result is a balanced anamorphic flare that adds character and emotional tone to the image.
Compact and lightweight for smoother shooting
Despite its full-frame design, the lens is built in a relatively compact format, weighing around 800g. This makes it suitable for solo creators, smaller rigs, gimbals and more mobile productions where weight and balance are important factors.
Interchangeable mount for greater flexibility
The Mantis 135mm is available with native mount in PL or E and supports interchangeable mounts for PL, E, EF, RF, L, Z. This provides greater flexibility between different camera systems and production environments.
