Overview
The SIRUI Saturn V2 Series 50mm T2.9 1.6x Full-Frame Anamorphic Cine Lens (Sony E, Neutral Flare) is a lightweight cinema lens built for filmmakers who want a genuine anamorphic look without the bulk of traditional cine glass. Designed for the Sony E mount, it covers full-frame sensors and delivers a 31mm full-frame equivalent horizontal field of view, giving footage the wider, more cinematic framing anamorphic shooters look for. With a constant T2.9 to T16 aperture range and a 17-element, 12-group optical design, the 50mm Saturn V2 suits handheld, gimbal, stabiliser and drone work where a compact, all-metal build matters.
A 1.6x horizontal squeeze produces the lens's signature neutral flare streaks and oval bokeh from its 10-blade iris, while an integrated switch lets you flip between horizontal and vertical shooting for widescreen or vertical social formats without cropping. Focus pulls smoothly to a minimum distance of 90cm, and the 62mm filter thread keeps it compatible with standard filter systems and accessories. It's a natural fit for solo creators and small crews after a distinctive anamorphic image without the weight and cost of cinema zoom glass.
Seamless Horizontal-to-Vertical Switching
A simple flip of an integrated switch takes the lens between horizontal and vertical shooting, so you get the anamorphic widescreen look on traditional 16:9 delivery and a genuine cinematic feel on vertical formats without cropping into the frame.
- 0.9:1 vertical widescreen output from a 9:16 sensor crop.
- Near 1.07:1 square-style ratio from a 2:3 sensor crop.
- Both orientations keep the lens's signature oval bokeh and vertically stretched backgrounds.
True Full-Frame Sensor Coverage
The Saturn V2 covers full-frame sensors, and aspherical elements throughout its 17-element, 12-group optical design help control chromatic aberration across the frame. A stepless T2.9 aperture delivers crisp subjects with a naturally soft, blurred background, well suited to narrative and documentary work alike.
Compact All-Metal Housing
Its compact, lightweight, all-metal housing suits run-and-gun use, on a handheld rig, gimbal, shoulder rig or drone, without adding the weight and bulk of a full cinema zoom kit.
Signature Neutral Flares & Oval Bokeh
- Horizontal neutral coloured streaks appear when the lens is pointed toward a light source.
- The 10-blade iris produces smooth, oval-shaped bokeh at wider apertures.
- Both effects hold together across horizontal and vertical shooting modes.
Consistent Squeeze Throughout the Focus Pull
The lens maintains a constant 1.6x anamorphic squeeze ratio at every focus distance, so subject size stays true as you pull focus rather than shifting through the throw.
Suited to Solo Creators and Small Crews
- A lighter lens designed for professional anamorphic cinema work.
- Handles equally well on a shoulder rig, gimbal, or drone.
- Built to boost efficiency on set and give solo creators room to work.
