Set to be available in three lens (a 35mm, a 50mm, and a 75mm) and in Sony E-mount options here at launch, the Talon 1.5x anamorphic lenses from Blazar are some powerful, full-frame, AF anamorphic lenses designed for modern creators.

Tailored to be ultra-compact (weight under 690g for each model), these anamorphic lenses are built for solo shooters who need speed, precision, and cinematic character (although not necessarily in that order).

Set to feature an innovative design that will make these lenses capable of producing a 1.8x anamorphic image from a 1.5x squeeze, shooters should be able to rest assured that these lenses will be able to create some rich visuals with cinematic depth, compression, and signature oval bokeh.
