The Blazar Talon 50mm autofocus 1.5X anamorphic has finally arrived.
In this video I unbox it, test autofocus tracking, and share my first impressions, especially compared to the Blazar Apex 50mm I’ve been using for the past year.
The Apex has a lot of character and noticeable barrel distortion. The Talon appears cleaner and more corrected, but does that make it better?
This is not a full review. Just first contact.
If you have specific tests you’d like to see in the in-depth review, let me know in the comments and I’ll include them.
