BLAZAR APEX is a new line of anamorphic lenses with a new trick up its sleeve – autofocus. The new APEX line starts with both a 35mm T1.8 and a 50mm T1.8 1.33x S35 anamorphic. These are claimed to be the world’s first autofocus anamorphic lenses on the market. The lenses are available in Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z, and FUJIFILM X mounts.
Build and ergonomics
The new BLAZAR APEX lenses are relatively compact anamorphic lenses. They share some signature design cues with other BLAZAR anamorphic lenses. The outer barrel is made completely of metal with a bare aluminum front barrel. The focus ring is black, and the rear part of the lens is orange and houses the iris ring. At its back end, we’ll find the mount with full electronic connections and a USB-C port.
