Blazar Mantis Anamorphic 1.33x with Commentary

Testing the Blazar Mantis 1.33x Anamorphic Lenses on the Sony FX6 – First Impressions
In this video, I dive into my first real-world test of the Blazar Mantis 1.33x anamorphic lenses paired with the Sony FX6. Shot on a scorching Miami day (95°+, mosquito-infested and all), this hands-on session is raw, honest, and filled with cinematic inspiration.

With no storyboard or plan—just pure curiosity—I wanted to explore the sharpness, character, and background compression these lenses deliver. From dreamy rack focuses to atmospheric handheld shots, I share my initial impressions of how these lenses stack up for full-frame shooters who love the Sony ecosystem.

⚡ Why I chose these over 2x anamorphics
📸 How they compare to the Sirui 1.6x Venus/Saturn lenses
🎞️ My thoughts on bokeh, lens breathing, handheld performance, and post color
💡 Why they reignited my passion for filmmaking

This video is for any filmmaker curious about affordable anamorphic options, or those just looking to see beautiful footage straight out of the box.
