1.33X squeeze with 2X look

The Mantis series is specifically developed to provide the rich visual expression characteristic of classic 2X anamorphic lenses, but with the advantages of a more flexible 1.33X squeeze. This delivers a cinematic image with enhanced composition, clear anamorphic character, and the signature oval bokeh that makes anamorphic images so desirable.

Full-frame coverage for modern camera systems

With an image circle of 36 × 24 mm, the Mantis 135mm is perfect for full-frame recording. It is designed to work excellently with modern cine and hybrid cameras, meaning you can enjoy the anamorphic look without compromising sensor size or image quality.

Oval aperture for classic anamorphic character

The lens is equipped with a consistent oval aperture shape that creates a clear anamorphic rendering. The oval bokeh provides an increased sense of depth and a more cinematic rendering of backgrounds and highlights, making your images more vibrant and dynamic.

Amber flare with warm cinematic feel

The Mantis 135mm produces a flare color that lies between neutral and amber, adding a subtle warm tone to your images without dominating the scene. This balanced anamorphic flare adds character and emotional tone, making each image memorable and visually appealing.

Compact and lightweight for smoother recording

Despite its capability to cover full frame, the lens is designed in a relatively compact format and weighs approximately 800 g. This makes it an excellent choice for solo creators, smaller rigs and gimbals, as well as for productions where weight and balance are crucial factors to ensure smooth recording.

Interchangeable mount for greater flexibility

The Mantis 135mm is offered with a native mount in either PL or E and also supports interchangeable mounts for PL, E, EF, RF, L, and Z. This provides great opportunities for flexibility between different camera systems and production environments, making it easier to adapt to various recording needs.
