Canon Beetle Blazar 32mm
This three-lens set pairs a 1.33x anamorphic squeeze with constant T3.2 aperture across 32mm, 45mm, and 65mm focal lengths, covering full-frame Canon RF sensors in a lightweight 286g body. The lenses produce classic silver flares and oval bokeh, and a dedicated button rotates the mount 90° for instant vertical capture, while 0.8 mod gearing with 200° focus rotation ensures precise manual pulls. Indie filmmakers and social content creators who need a compact anamorphic kit for gimbal-mounted shoots and vertical-first platforms.
