SIRUI Japan has launched the 'SIRUI Venus 35mm T2.9 1.6X' full-frame anamorphic lens. Release date: May 24, 2024. Price: ¥165,000 (tax included).
Captivating Anamorphic Experience
The 'SIRUI 35mm T2.9 1.6x' full-frame anamorphic lens is a dream lens for filmmakers. Anamorphic refers to a technique or style that uses optical illusions to make flat surfaces appear three-dimensional and vice versa. It offers full-frame coverage and is compatible with E, RF, L, and Z mount mirrorless and cinema cameras.
Notably, it features a 1.6x squeeze factor equivalent to a 2mm horizontal FOV, enabling a 2.4:1 aspect ratio in 3:2 sensor mode. Additionally, shooting in 16:9 mode results in a wider 2.8:1 frame, allowing for a cinematic wide-angle view.
Cinematic Aesthetics and High Practicality
The SIRUI 35mm anamorphic lens offers an impressive anamorphic look. It creates striking cinematic effects like lens flares seen in sci-fi films and creamy oval bokeh, adding a stylish atmosphere to scenes.
The cine lens housing is made of durable aluminum alloy, providing smooth and robust yet lightweight construction. Ideal for run-and-gun setups, it features geared aperture and focus rings, an 82mm filter thread, and wide mounting compatibility.
