Blazar Remus II 50mm T2.4 1.5X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens: The Legend, Reengineered

The Remus is back — and better than ever. The Blazar Remus II 50mm T2.4 1.5X Full Frame Anamorphic Lens reengineers Blazar’s beloved Remus with an all-new Oval Iris, a brighter and sharper optical formula, and a striking new gold metal finish, while keeping the vintage character and distinctive silver-flare look that made the original Remus a favorite among filmmakers.

Key Features:

• All-New Oval Iris: A completely redesigned 16-blade oval iris produces rounder, richer bokeh and a more refined flare signature than the original Remus.
• Noticeably Sharper Optics: An upgraded optical formula delivers a significant resolution improvement over the original Remus 50mm, while retaining its signature vintage rendering.
• 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze: Authentic anamorphic characteristics with a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio for that unmistakable widescreen, cinematic look.
• Full Frame Coverage: A 36x24mm image circle covers full-frame sensors with sharp, even performance across the frame.
• Silver Flare Character: Elegant silver streak flares with a vintage anamorphic signature — streak color can shift slightly depending on the light source, just like the original Remus.
• Close Focus of 0.68m / 2.23ft: Get in close for dramatic, shallow depth-of-field shots.
• Ultra-Lightweight Build: At just 716g / 1.57 lbs, the Remus II 50mm is easy to rig on gimbals and handheld setups.
