The Blazar Mantis 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic 6-Lens Set is a complete anamorphic lens package for filmmakers who want a classic cinematic look in a compact and flexible format. The series covers full frame, has constant 1.33x squeeze and is designed to give the visual character of a 2x anamorphic look with oval bokeh, classic barrel distortion and warm amber flare.
The Mantis series uses a 1.33x squeeze factor but is optically designed to provide the rich image character of classic 2x anamorphic lenses. The result is a more cinematic imagery with increased visual presence, oval bokeh and distinct anamorphic feel.
The lenses cover an image circle of 36 × 24 mm and are therefore adapted for full frame. This makes them compatible with modern cine and hybrid cameras where you want to combine high resolution with an anamorphic look.
The oval aperture helps create the characteristic anamorphic imagery with oval blur, greater depth of field and a more cinematic background rendering across the range.
The Mantis lenses produce a balanced flare color between neutral and amber. It provides a subtle, warm glow that adds character to the image without dominating the subject.
Weighing around 760 grams per lens, the Mantis series is well suited for solo creators, gimbal, handheld and run-and-gun production. The compact format makes the series easier to use in fast-paced shooting situations.
The Mantis series has a close-up range from 0.38 meters, making it possible to get close to the subject without losing the anamorphic feel.
The series is available with native mount in PL or E and supports interchangeable mounts for PL, E, EF, RF, L and Z. This makes the lenses easy to adapt to different camera systems and future production needs.
