The Blazar Remus 33mm T1.8 1.5x Anamorphic for PL mount offers a classic widescreen look and cine-style build while being more affordable than other anamorphic lens brands. Key features include:
1.5x squeeze ratio covering up to 3:2 open gate large formats
Elegant oval bokeh and silver flaring
150º focus rotation and unified gear positions
Very portable while maintaining a wide max aperture
Anamorphic Look for Less. With a goal of maintaining portability and affordability, Blazar has expanded creative possibilities with a set of 1.5x full-frame primes. With wide compatibility with multiple aspect ratios, including covering up to 3:2 open gate large formats, the Blazar Remus 33mm T1.8 1.5x is a versatile choice that can be paired with a lot of different kinds of PL-mount cameras – all while being a lot more budget-friendly than most anamorphics.
Special Note on Compatibility. There are some compatibility limitations with this 33mm lens. It has a 17.3mm rear element protruding from the back of its PL mount which does not fit all camera systems.
Critical Characteristics. Remus lenses preserve a lot of the characteristics of 2x anamorphic lenses, including oval bokeh, 3D-like effects, shallow depth of field, and flaring, but the lower factor allows these lenses to be both smaller and lighter. When paired with a full-frame camera, a 1.5x 33mm provides a spherical equivalent/horizontal focal length of around 22mm.
Suitable for Solo Shooters. Easily swap out different Remus primes without having to adjust your follow focus setup thanks to unified and industry-standard 0.8 MOD gearing. The focus rotation is 150º, which makes focusing by hand easier, and the 77mm front threading will accommodate affordable and readily-available filters. The outside diameter is 80mm, which is compatible with most pro matte boxes for using high-end drop-in filters. A port for adding lens support is on the barrel of the lens, which is handy for heavier matte box setups.
Widescreen for a Wider Audience. Adding a cinematic and artistic touch to your footage is now more accessible than ever because of brands like Blazar, Vazen, and Sirui challenging the high-end likes of ARRI, Cooke, and Atlas. What sets Blazar apart from its current low-cost competitors is their ample sensor coverage and retro look. The Blazar Remus 33mm T1.8 1.5x Anamorphic is a great option for full-frame PL-mount cameras like the Blackmagic PYXIS 6K.
