Anamorphic glass delivers a 2.39:1 cinema aspect ratio by squeezing a wider horizontal field of view into the sensor, then de-squeezing in post for the final widescreen finish. The Remus 1.5x set lands a true 2.39:1 deliverable out of a 6:5 capture window with the classic oval bokeh and silver streak horizontal flares that define the look. The Apex 1.33x set lands the same 2.39:1 finish out of a standard 16:9 sensor readout, which means no special crop on a stock Sony FX3 or A7-series body. De-squeeze inside DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, FCP, or RED's IPP2 pipeline using lens metadata or a manual aspect setting.
🎬 What's included in each kit
Both anamorphic sets ship with the lenses, lens caps, and a hard case. Mount adapters, follow focus motors, matte boxes, ND filters, monitors, and bodies all live on the same booking calendar. Add what the shoot needs at checkout and the kit gets preconfigured before pickup.

💬 Common questions
What's the difference between 1.5x and 1.33x anamorphic squeeze?
1.5x is the classic cinematic squeeze. The Blazar Remus set captures into a 4:3 or 6:5 sensor window and de-squeezes to a true 2.39:1 widescreen finish with strong oval bokeh and pronounced horizontal flares. 1.33x is the modern hybrid squeeze. The Blazar Apex set lands cleanly on a standard 16:9 sensor and de-squeezes to 2.39:1 with no special crop math, so it suits Sony FX3, FX6, and A7-series bodies that don't have a dedicated 6:5 anamorphic mode. Pick 1.5x for narrative and music video character, 1.33x for run-and-gun and brand work where speed beats maximum squeeze character.
What mounts are the Remus and Apex sets in?
The Blazar Remus 1.5x set is native PL, which pairs with
RED V-Raptor and Komodo-X via locking PL, or with
Sony FX6 and FX3 via PL-to-E adapter. The Blazar Apex 1.33x set is native Sony E with full electronic autofocus, eye AF, and aperture control, so it drops onto FX3, FX6, FX30, and A7-series bodies without an adapter. PL adapters are stocked in-house for cross-mounting if a shoot calls for it.
Will these anamorphic lenses cover full-frame and Super 35 sensors?
The Remus 1.5x set is built for Super 35 and 6:5 anamorphic capture windows. It covers RED V-Raptor in 6K S35 mode and Komodo-X 6K S35 cleanly, and pairs with FX6 and FX3 in S35 crop. The Apex 1.33x set is Super 35 and APS-C native and covers a 16:9 readout without vignette on FX3, FX6, FX30, and A7-series in S35 or APS-C mode. Confirm sensor mode for your body at the booking step and we'll flag anything that needs a crop change before pickup.
What aspect ratio do I deliver in?
Both sets are designed around a 2.39:1 widescreen deliverable. The Remus 1.5x squeeze stretches a 4:3 or 6:5 capture into 2.39:1 in post via de-squeeze in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, or FCP. The Apex 1.33x squeeze stretches a standard 16:9 capture into 2.39:1, which makes the math simpler if your camera doesn't have a dedicated anamorphic mode. Lens metadata travels with the file on Sony E mount; for PL on RED you set the de-squeeze in IPP2 or in your NLE.
Do anamorphic lenses work for focus pulls and gimbal shoots?
The Remus PL set has 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears for FIZ motors and a matched 80mm front for shared mattes, so it slots into a standard 1st AC pulling workflow with Tilta Nucleus or ARRI WCU. Focus breathing is minimal across the 33, 45, 65, and 100. The Apex Sony E set runs full electronic autofocus and eye AF, which is the right call for solo operators and gimbal work where there's no AC on board. Both sets work on a Ronin RS 3 Pro or RS 4 Pro with the right balance pass.
Do you deliver outside Toronto?
Yes. We deliver across the GTA for an additional fee. You will get a delivery quote at the booking step based on your shoot location.
