Blazar MANTIS 135mm T3.2 1.33X Full-Frame Anamorphic Lens (PL / E / EF / RF / L / Z Mount)
The Blazar MANTIS 135mm T3.2 1.33X Anamorphic is the longest focal length in the MANTIS lineup, delivering pronounced telephoto compression paired with classic anamorphic character. With full-frame coverage (36×24 mm) and a constant 1.33× squeeze factor, it creates a cinematic 2.39:1 image on standard 16:9 sensors—no open-gate recording required.
Extreme Telephoto Compression for Cinematic Storytelling
The 135mm focal length excels at isolating subjects and compressing backgrounds, making it ideal for emotional close-ups, dramatic portraiture, and detail-driven shots. The T3.2 aperture balances light transmission with controlled depth of field, preserving sharpness while maintaining a distinctly cinematic falloff.
Signature Anamorphic Look
- 14-blade oval iris: Creates beautifully stretched oval bokeh reminiscent of classic 2× anamorphic lenses.
- Warm amber flares: Adds organic, film-like flare characteristics to highlights and backlit scenes.
- Consistent 1.33× squeeze: Matches seamlessly with the rest of the MANTIS series.
- Full-frame image circle: Covers 36×24 mm sensors without vignetting.
Built for Professional Productions
The MANTIS 135mm is designed for real-world film sets. A standardized 80 mm front diameter, 77 mm filter thread, and 0.8-mod focus and iris gears ensure compatibility with matte boxes, follow-focus systems, and rigged cinema setups. A smooth 180° focus rotation allows for precise focus pulls, while the interchangeable mount system provides maximum flexibility across camera platforms.
