BLAZAR LENS Beetle 45mm T3.2 1.33x 45mm
The 45mm T3.2 1.33x anamorphic prime covers full-frame L-mount with a fixed T3.2 aperture and weighs just 266g, offering a 1.33x squeeze for both horizontal and vertical capture via a button press. Its 0.8 mod gearing and 200° focus rotation enable precise manual pulls, while silver flares and oval bokeh deliver a classic anamorphic look in an ultracompact body. Best for portrait and street shooters on L-mount who want anamorphic character without a heavy rig, or indie video creators needing a lightweight cinematic lens.
