Blazar MANTIS 50mm T2.0 1.33x Anamorphic Lens delivers cinematic widescreen imagery across a wide range of camera systems. Its 1.33x anamorphic squeeze factor expands the horizontal field of view, producing a striking 2:1 aspect ratio on full-frame (36 x 24mm) sensors. The result is a beautifully immersive image with enhanced depth, signature oval bokeh, and a rich, cinematic character. The 50mm focal length offers exceptional versatility, making it ideal for close-ups, medium shots, and even establishing frames. With a minimum focus distance of just 1.6 feet, it allows for detailed, dynamic compositions while maintaining that distinct anamorphic look. The fast T2.0 aperture ensures strong low-light performance and creative control over depth of field, while the extended range to T22 supports precise exposure adjustments in bright conditions. A 14-blade iris further enhances the lens’s visual appeal, delivering smooth, natural bokeh and pleasing highlight rendition. Built for professional workflows, the MANTIS series maintains consistency with an 80mm front diameter and 77mm filter thread, enabling fast and efficient lens swaps without reconfiguring accessories. The lens features a native ARRI PL mount and supports interchangeable mounts—including Sony E, Canon EF, RF, FUJIFILM X, Nikon Z, and Leica L—ensuring compatibility across a wide range of cameras.Weighing just 1.7 lb, this lightweight yet durable lens is easy to handle on set or on the move.
