About this lens
The Blazar Beetle 45mm T3.2 1.33x Anamorphic Lens delivers the perfect balance of cinematic character and creative control in an ultra-compact form. With its full-frame coverage, signature 1.33x squeeze, and unique rotating lens design, the Beetle 45mm is the most versatile focal length in the lineup – equally at home capturing handheld street scenes, cinematic interviews, or vertical social content with anamorphic flair.
Designed for creators who demand quality and mobility, the Beetle 45mm features a fixed T3.2 aperture, manual focus with a smooth 200° throw, and native mounts for all major mirrorless camera systems. The rotating housing lets you control flare direction without repositioning your camera – a true game-changer for hybrid shooters and filmmakers on the move.
The 45mm focal length is widely regarded as the most balanced and natural perspective for filmmakers. It offers just enough compression to separate subjects from the background while maintaining an immersive field of view. With the Beetle 45mm, you get the classic anamorphic look – oval bokeh, subtle distortion, and expressive flares – in a lens that suits everything from handheld documentary work to polished commercial shoots.
Whether you're an independent filmmaker, hybrid shooter, vertical video creator, or traveling documentarian, the Beetle 45mm is built to elevate your creative vision. Its minimal weight and unique rotating design make it ideal for gimbals, sliders, drones, or any compact setup where traditional anamorphic lenses would be too bulky.
Bring your stories to life with the Blazar Beetle 45mm – the perfect anamorphic everyday lens. Available now at Better Focus.
