Equipped with a consistent oval-shaped aperture, the Mantis lens is designed to replicate the timeless aesthetics of a 2x anamorphic image, providing oval-shaped bokeh, enhanced depth, and cinematic character while utilizing a more accessible 1.33x squeeze.
The Mantis lens produces a distinctive flare color that falls between neutral and amber, striking a perfect balance that enhances the image with a warm, cinematic glow. This carefully tuned flare adds character without overpowering the frame, giving scenes a subtle golden warmth that evokes emotion and elevates the overall visual tone.
Mantis lenses feature an impressive close focus capability, starting from just 1.25 feet (0.38 meters), allowing you to get up close without sacrificing that signature anamorphic character.
