SIRUI 35mm Anamorphic Lens F1.8 1.33X APS-C Cinema Lens for M4/3 Mount(SR-35M)

very good lens. used it for multiple weddings and it has not disappointed me.

This has very quickly become my favorite lens. It's a tiny soft when you're shooting with it wide open, but otherwise it'a very sharp, delivers a clean, beautiful image, flares super nicely, and has very clean bokek! It makes me want to get the other lenses in the set!

An amazing lens. it is my first manual focus and first anamorphic lens. Please make sure that you correct the lens information in your camera and turn on focus peeking. i wish the blue flare was little stronger.

Unfortunately, the lens arrived in an open box with parts of the original wrapping missing, As the product was used, it was send back immediately. While the lens looked prestine, it is not acceptable to sell a used item without indicating in the description of the item that it is not a brand new one!

I love this lens. Even though it's just 1.33x, you get all the anamorphic qualities you know and love. Personally, I wish there was more barrel distortion cause I like that look, but for those who love a clean image, there's very little distortion. Built like a tank, absolutely great.

i would give it 5 star , but when i tried to mount it on BMCC MFT camera, it was very stiff to connect. i sent mail to Sirui, with video and explenation , wait for solution, i will update when i have one. I wrote SIRUI support, and they assisted me very quickly , they sent me a new adaptor with screws and even a scewdriver. i replced it and now it is not stiff , and works great. very good customer support.

It is hard to describe what I'm feeling after using this lens for some time. Probably expected more than I get, so a bit disappointed with it. It is a good lens for M4/3, decently sharp and feels nice in hands. But anamorphic effect is so negligible... 1.33x format is just not enough, especially on close focusing distances, oval bokeh is nonexistent. It has blue strikes, but in most cases they're just annoying, especially for nature daylight shots. This lens just looks like any other lens, nothing special.

I purchased this lens for a different perspective for landscape stills with a Canon M6 Mk2. I am still experimenting and evaluating but so far I am impressed with color rendering and sharpness. It is not "razor" sharp but then it is not intended to be. It just has a nice even consistency across the frame. Think of a Zeiss lens "pop" with a matte finish. I would knock off a half a star for the mount replacement which is another issue.

For those of us who are passionate about anamorphic lenses and the cinematic quality they bring to footage, the SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6X Anamorphic Lens for Sony EF is a piece of equipment that's hard to overlook, despite its steep price. The 1.6x squeeze factor of this lens is a technical marvel. When shooting 4K footage, you get a resolution of 3840x1350, which is not standard. But here's the magic: it gives you the horizontal field of view equivalent to a full-frame 22mm lens. This means that while your footage has the characteristic anamorphic compression, you're not losing the wide-angle perspective that's essential for grand, cinematic shots. Size-wise, this lens is impressively compact, especially when compared to its larger Sirui siblings. It's almost hard to believe when you see it side by side with, say, the 50mm (as shown in the picture). This makes it an incredibly portable option for filmmakers who are always on the move. The oval bokeh produced by this lens is nothing short of lovely, adding that sought-after, dreamy, cinematic look to your background elements. And let's talk about the lens flares – they're the crispy blue that anamorphic lenses are famous for. However, they can be quite pronounced, which might not be to everyone's taste. For those who find the effect too intense, I'd recommend pairing this lens with a Black Mist/Fog filter to soften the sharpness and tame the flares a bit. Regarding the aperture, a T2.9 on this lens is roughly equivalent to an f/2.8 in terms of light-gathering capability. It's a common misconception that T-stops and f-stops are interchangeable, but T-stops actually measure the actual light transmission, which is more accurate for cinematography. In conclusion, if you're looking to bring that anamorphic charm to your footage without lugging around a massive lens, the SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6X is an excellent choice. Yes, it's an investment, but for the quality and cinematic flair it adds to your work, it's an investment worth considering. Highly recommended for the anamorphic aficionado!

Anamorphic lenses have always been a dream of mine to shoot with and when Sirui released their 50mm I had to get it and was impressed with that lens all round. Now we have the 35mm and its just fantastic as I can shoot wider shots with amazing characteristics. Being 1.33x should not put people off as you get the blue flares and the bokeh is really nice (there are mods if you want to get that perfect oval look) The big surprise with this lens is how sharp it is at F1.8 just like the 50mm. I have MFT cameras so this really helps to add a dimension to shots and I have ordered the 24mm to add to the collection. If Sirui make a wider lens then 24 then that will be perfect to get truly scopic shots all the way. I will say that you need a camerea/monitor that can de-squeeze the image as well as the right software if you're just a beginner but many editing programmes de-squeeze easily. If you're a photographer this lens will add a unique look to your photos just like the great Dick Sweeney has done, and if you want to create videos with a cinema look and can get only one anamorphic lens stick with the 35mm. Top notch lens all the way and Sirui have set the bar high and I am sure more anamorphic lenses will hit the market.

Diseño y construcción ¨premium" para este objetivo (como la mayoría de su serie de Sirui 1x33) Bastante ligero y pequeño para ser un objetivo anamórfico. En mi caso al utilizarlo en una m4/3 estamos hablando de obtenemos un 70mm en vertical y unos 50mm en horizontal al realizar el desqueeze en el software de edición. El bokeh anamórfico que obtenemos es bastante "efectivo" y los flares están bastante bien controlados. Muy nítido ya desde f1,8, si cerramos a f2,8/f 4 es ya demasiado nítido (hablando de video) para mi gusto. En conclusión, es muy buen objetivo para quien no dispone de un gran presupuesto para invertir en marcas con objetivos anamórficos más caros (normalmente con un mayor carácter y características) o quiere empezar a adentrarse en el mundo de dichos objetivos, los recomiendo encarecidamente.

Questa recensione è relativa al modello Saturn 35mm in fibra di carbonio. L'obiettivo è bello ma ha una ghiera del fuoco durissima e - visto che gli obiettivi anamorfici aumentano di suo l'effetto distorsione del rolling shutter- ad ogni cambio di fuoco corrisponderà un sobbalzo che rovinerà i filmati. Anche con fuoco motorizzato la forza necessaria è così forte che comunque anche fisso sul treppiedi si noterà il rolling shutter. E' difficilissimo mettere a fuoco anche con monitor esterno ed in più da la lunghezza minima di messa a fuoco è 1 metro quindi dovrete mettere e togliere un filtro close up ogni volta che vorrete avvicinarvi un minimo al soggetto. La lente è molto distorta come molte lenti anamorfiche ma il tipo di distorsione è particolarmente fastidiosa perché non è "a botte" ma "a cuscinetto" con la parte centrale risucchiata. I riflessi tipici dell'anamorfico sono poco presenti e solo con luce estremamente forte in condizioni di contrasto elevate. Se confronterete le immagini di una lente vintage sferica (che si trova a pochi euro) tagliata in formato anamorfico e la confronterete con quelle realizzate da queste obiettivo, queste ultime appariranno molto più distorte e di bassa qualità. La mia domanda è quindi: se la qualità dell'immagine è inferiore ad una normale lente da pochi euro, quale è il senso di complicarsi la vita con una lente di questo tipo? Un flare occasionale quando si punta un flash al buio? Spendendo 1.500 euro?

Excelente lente, ligero y calidad de imagen perfecta.
