Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Full-Frame Anamorphic lens (RF mount)

Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic lens for Canon RF Mount Overview

Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic lens for Canon RF Mount is a sharp and fast anamorphic lens designed to bring a cinematic look to your videos. With its 1.6x Ratio, the lens takes full advantage of the Full Frame sensor to produce a 2.8:1 widescreen aspect ratio that is synonymous with theatre movie experiences.

The lens uses an optically distorting anamorphic front element to squeeze the horizontal axis of the shot by 1.6 times which allows for more information to be fit onto the sensor. This is then stretched back out in post-production or in-camera (see manufacturers’ specs for compatibility) to create the wider field of view and ratio compared to a conventional aspherical lens.

The lens reproduces flares beautifully while the coatings on the lens keep them from obscuring the entire frame. The fast aperture of T2.9 to creates a very shallow depth of field, increasing the oval-shaped bokeh effect that is found in anamorphic lenses. This soft out-of-focus area is one of the many benefits that a true anamorphic lens brings over its filter counterparts or digital crop bars that imitate the anamorphic ‘look’. The 35mm focal length provides a wide field of view to capture vast scenes.

In-built focus gears work perfectly with follow focus setups to ensure smooth and accurate focusing.
