Cinematic Scope in an Ultra-Wide 25 mm
The Blazar Mantis 25 mm T2.4 1.33× anamorphic lens delivers classic widescreen character on full-frame sensors with a compact build that’s ready for daily production. Its 1.33× squeeze produces a natural 2:1 look on 16:9 and a broader canvas on open-gate, while a 14-blade oval iris shapes highlights into pleasing ovals and adds a gentle amber-toned flare for a distinctive, filmic touch.
Full-Frame Coverage & Optical Character
This lens covers a full-frame 36×24 mm image circle, bringing expansive perspective with controlled distortion for establishing shots, handheld walk-throughs, and dynamic gimbal work. The optical recipe is tuned for modern sharpness while retaining organic micro-contrast, oval bokeh, and warm flare cues that help scenes feel cinematic straight out of camera.
T2.4 Aperture with Close-Focus Creativity
With a bright T2.4–T22 aperture range and a close-focus distance of 0.38 m / 1.25 ft, you can push into subjects for dramatic wide close-ups without losing the anamorphic signature. This makes the 25 mm a powerful choice for run-and-gun work, music videos, and narrative pieces needing movement and proximity.
Pro Handling: Gears, Throw & Consistent Front
Focus pulls stay precise thanks to a 180° focus rotation and standard 0.8 MOD gears on both focus and iris rings. The Mantis family shares an 80 mm front diameter and a 77 mm filter thread—ideal for quick matte box and filter swaps across focal lengths.
Mount Options & Rig Integration
Swap mounts to match your camera system (options include PL, E, EF, RF, L, Z depending on kit). At roughly 670 g, the 25 mm balances well on cinema bodies, mirrorless rigs, and gimbals—ideal for compact setups.
