Lens Overview — Blazar 50mm T2.9 1.8x

The Blazar 50mm T2.9 Anamorphic is a prime cinema lens built for the Super 35 format, offering a manual focus workflow suited to professional and independent cinema productions. Mounted on the industry-standard PL Mount, this lens integrates directly into established cinema camera ecosystems without the need for adapters. At a maximum aperture of T2.9, it provides a reasonably wide transmission for shooting in lower-light conditions while maintaining the optical character associated with anamorphic capture.

The lens is of the anamorphic type, delivering the horizontally compressed image characteristic of the format, which contributes to the distinctive bokeh and flare qualities anamorphic lenses are known for. Covering the Super 35 format, it is well-suited to the sensor sizes found in many dedicated cinema cameras. Weighing 1089g, it has a substantial but manageable build for use on professional rigs and follow-focus systems.

The 82mm front filter thread allows for standard matte box and filter integration. With no image stabilization and fully manual focus operation, this lens is designed for controlled, deliberate shooting environments where a focus puller or careful manual operation is the standard approach. It is a fixed 50mm focal length prime, classified in the standard focal length range.
