The MFT-mount 35mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens from Sirui is designed for MFT/APS-C cameras and increases the horizontal FOV by 33% in comparison with traditional 35mm APS-C lenses. The result is equivalent to a wider 26.3mm APS-C lens. After de-squeezing, the captured image is displayed in an anamorphic 2.4:1 format in a 16:9 setting. This fast f/1.8 lens is designed with an aluminum housing and features optics with multilayer nano coatings. Made with renowned Schott optical glass lens elements, it produces rectangular aspect ratios, long horizontal lens flares, and oval bokeh.
One of the features of this lens is that it produces horizontal blue streaks with less stray light, which Sirui calls sci-fi horizontal flares. A key aspect of anamorphic lenses is highlighted oval bokeh, and this lens produces a shallow depth of field and oval bokeh with its 10 aperture blades. While the lens has a robust housing, it's also designed to be lightweight for use with your compact MFT/APS-C camera.
2.4:1 Widescreen Visual Feast
Due to the popularity of cinematic aesthetics, photographers and shutterbugs usually convert a 16:9 camera shot into a 2.4:1 cinematic aspect ratio via post-editing applications. Although this method achieves a cinematic look, it also degrades the footage and results in lower quality images.
When shooting with a compatible camera, the 35mm F1.8 Anamorphic Lens uses its 1.33x squeeze factor to widen the horizontal field of view and produce a wider, full HD 2.4:1 cinematic video without any post-cropping. Capture more through the 35mm focal length. With a simple switch to the SIRUI 50mm Anamorphic Lens, extend your shots for perfect cinematic work.
Distinctive Light Art
Special in its anamorphic structure and multilayer Nano-coatings, this 35mm lens softens and controls lights within a scene using the special function, Sci-Fi Blue Light Streaks with Pleasing Star Burst.
As users adjust the aperture, the unique light streaks and star burst will adapt to the aperture value for the optimum cinematic visual effect.
Deep in the F1.8 Aperture Field
Eye your scenes through the lens and revive their beauty by adjusting the light setting between the F/1.8 and F/16 apertures. Even wide open at F/1.8, this lens can still produce sharp, quality imaging with a smooth depth of field when targeting the subject/object using the 35mm focal length.
Captivating Oval Bokeh
Due to the 1.33x squeeze factor, the round light spots in the background will de-squeeze into an enchanting oval bokeh, which couples with the foreground for an aesthetic upgrade.
Superior Imaging Quality
Well-built with an innovative optical lens structure and German-manufactured Schott optical glass lens elements, the anamorphic expert lens minimizes optical distortion and lens breathing effects and functions perfectly to generate superb cinematic imaging.
