About this lens
The Blazar Mantis 1.33X Full Frame Anamorphic 3-Lens Set is a premium toolset for cinematographers who demand high-quality, immersive widescreen visuals with the convenience of full-frame coverage. This professional set includes three carefully matched anamorphic prime lenses: 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm — each delivering a constant 1.33x squeeze and T2.0 maximum aperture. Whether you're shooting commercials, music videos, documentaries, or feature films, this set offers consistent performance, aesthetic harmony, and unmatched flexibility.
The 35mm focal length is ideal for wide establishing shots and immersive interior scenes. It combines broad coverage with the depth and compression of anamorphic optics. With a close focus distance of just 0.48 meters, it allows dynamic framing even in tight environments.
The 50mm lens offers a standard field of view with natural perspective, making it incredibly versatile. Whether used for medium shots or handheld narrative coverage, the lens produces stunning clarity with smooth oval bokeh, making it a workhorse for many scenarios.
The 75mm is your go-to lens for intimate close-ups, selective focus, and cinematic compression. It delivers rich details with pleasing background separation and a warm, dreamy anamorphic glow. With a minimum focus distance of 0.67 meters, it enables tight shots without sacrificing optical character.
This wide-angle anamorphic lens offers strong spatial presence and creative edge distortion, ideal for dynamic environments and expansive scenery. It excels in action sequences and landscape cinematography, giving a broad field of view with controlled anamorphic rendering.
A true general-purpose anamorphic tool, the 50mm is perfect for interviews, dialogue scenes, and cinematic handheld work. The lens balances focal reach with natural perspective, retaining the signature anamorphic look without distortion.
Specially suited for character-driven moments and expressive compositions, the 75mm isolates subjects beautifully with smooth bokeh and subtle background compression. Its close-focus ability makes it versatile even in confined settings.
All lenses in the Mantis set feature a true 1.33x squeeze factor, which delivers a widescreen image when de-squeezed — typically resulting in a cinematic 2.39:1 aspect ratio when captured on a standard 16:9 sensor. This gives filmmakers the anamorphic aesthetic without requiring extreme cropping.
All three lenses share a consistent design with an 80mm front diameter and 77mm filter thread. Focus and iris gear positions are matched across the set, simplifying lens swaps on set and reducing the need to adjust follow focus or matte box positions.
Each lens features a bright T2.0 maximum aperture, which allows for shallow depth of field and strong subject-background separation. The 14-blade aperture ensures a distinctive oval bokeh that enhances the visual storytelling power of each frame.
The lenses produce a signature amber flare that adds character and emotion to bright light sources without overwhelming the frame. The flare is artistic yet controlled, providing warmth and a timeless cinematic touch.
The close focusing distances are impressive across the set: 0.48m on the 35mm and 50mm, and 0.67m on the 75mm lens. This enables macro-like framing options while retaining the wide field and aesthetic distortion characteristic of anamorphic lenses.
Perfect for handheld action scenes, sweeping landscape shots, or tight interiors where you need width and anamorphic character. The 35mm delivers immersive visuals and an organic feel.
Ideal for dramatic scenes, narrative structure, and classic coverage. The 50mm provides a perfect midpoint between wide and tight framing, ideal for versatile storytelling.
Best used for stylized portraits, cinematic close-ups, or slow-motion inserts. The 75mm's character and separation make it a favorite for emotional storytelling.
Each lens in the set is delivered with either a PL or Sony E mount, depending on your preference at the time of ordering. These mounts are interchangeable and allow compatibility with a vast range of professional cinema and mirrorless cameras. Additional optional mounts — including Canon EF, Canon RF, Leica L, Fujifilm X, and Nikon Z — can be added to suit your camera system.
The lens mount system includes a shim kit to fine-tune flange distance after mount swaps, ensuring precise focus accuracy. Whether you’re shooting with an ARRI Alexa, Sony FX3/FX6, Canon R5, or Panasonic S1H, the Mantis lenses adapt seamlessly to your setup.

Some Blazar lenses with the official EF mount reach deep into the camera. On certain EF cameras and adapters, the rear of the lens hits parts inside the mount, so the lens won't seat or lock. Please check this before you order.

Find the rear protrusion
The technical drawings below show how far each lens protrudes at the rear with PL and EF mount.
Compare with your camera or adapter
If the maximum protrusion your camera or adapter allows is greater than the lens value, it should fit.
Look into the mount
Electronics, glass or mechanical parts that reach past the inner ring are the usual points of contact.
Using more than one adapter? Check each one separately. Tolerances vary between brands and even between production runs.
