BLAZAR CATO Anamorphic 3 Lens Kit Overview

The Blazar Cato 2X Full Frame Anamorphic 3-Lens Set offers professional filmmakers a versatile and lightweight option for capturing cinematic visuals. This set includes 55mm, 85mm, and 125mm lenses, each with a classic 2X anamorphic squeeze, designed for full-frame cameras. Known for its compact design, the Cato series is one of the lightest 2X anamorphic lenses available, weighing between 898g and 1020g, making it ideal for handheld or gimbal use.

Classic 2X Anamorphic Look

With a 2X anamorphic squeeze, the Cato lenses deliver the quintessential anamorphic look that filmmakers love: oval bokeh, unique barrel distortion, and a wide, cinematic field of view. This classic look is ideal for creating immersive visuals that draw audiences in, making it a popular choice for narrative storytelling and stylized commercial work.

Subtle Silver Flare Aesthetic

The Cato 2X series features a refined lens flare quality with a natural silver tone. These flares blend the nostalgic feel of vintage anamorphic lenses with the clarity needed for modern digital cinema, creating a balanced look that adapts to any light source. The subtle silver flares enhance the cinematic feel without overwhelming the image, ideal for filmmakers seeking a nuanced visual style.

Fast Aperture for Versatile Shooting

Each lens in the Cato 2X set is optimized for a variety of lighting conditions. The 55mm lens has a fast T2.0 aperture, the 85mm offers T2.8, and the 125mm provides T4.0, allowing for creative depth of field control across different focal lengths. This range of apertures provides flexibility in achieving both shallow and deeper focus effects, suitable for everything from low-light scenes to bright, outdoor setups.

Built for Cinematic Flexibility

Available separately in EF mounts, the Cato lenses offer a range of technical features designed for cinematic use. They include a 16-blade iris for smooth, rounded bokeh, 210° focus rotation for precise manual focus control, and an 82mm filter thread for additional customization. The lenses also come with shims and a durable carrying case, making them versatile tools for professional filmmakers looking to elevate their projects.
