BLAZAR LENS Beetle BEE-3LS-RF 32mm
Its 1.33x anamorphic squeeze uniquely switches between horizontal and vertical capture via a dedicated button, delivering cinematic widescreen and social-ready footage from a single full-frame lens. The ultracompact 286g design, fixed T3.2 aperture, and signature silver flares provide a distinct, stylized look without bulky rigs. This lens is best for solo shooters and content creators who need to rapidly alternate between traditional video and vertical formats like Instagram Reels or TikTok.
