Sirui Anamorphic Lens 1.6x 50mm t/2.9 Canon RF

Sirui Anamorphic Lens 1.6x 50mm t/2.9 Canon RF

The first anamorphic lens suitable for full-camera on a chip, and not just any lens, but the much anticipated 1.6x squeeze model. Compared to the previous 1.3x multiplier, the glass produces a much more ”cinematic” look. The angle of view is equivalent to about 31mm wide open and f/2 aperture. The bokeh balls are oval and strong pinpoints of light appear as bluish lines. However, the reflections of this glass are not as strong as those of Sirui's 1.3x glass. However, this is only a positive, as they were perhaps a little too much.

The lens is built to last and is designed with video use in mind. The construction is aluminium, the focus ring and aperture ring are pre-toothed for follow focus. The body of the lens also features a 1/4″ mount for cradles and tripods.
