A Sharp and Fast Anamorphic Lens

The Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic lens for Canon RF Mount is a great choice for those looking to give their videos a cinematic look. This lens features a 1.6x Ratio that takes full advantage of the Full Frame sensor, resulting in a 2.8:1 widescreen aspect ratio that's reminiscent of the cinema. The carbon fibre and aluminium body construction also helps to reduce the weight of the lens, making it perfect for gimbal run and gun filming. Plus, you'll also get the classic blue anamorphic flares that add a great cinematic effect.

The lens uses an optically distorting anamorphic front element to squeeze the horizontal axis of the shot by 1.6 times which allows for more information to be fit onto the sensor. This is then stretched back out in post-production or in-camera (see manufacturer's specs for compatibility) to create a wider field of view and ratio compared to a conventional aspherical lens.

The lens reproduces flares beautifully, while the coatings on the lens keep them from obscuring the entire frame. The fast aperture of T2.9 to creates a very shallow depth of field, increasing the oval-shaped bokeh effect that is found in anamorphic lenses. This soft out-of-focus area is one of the many benefits that a true anamorphic lens brings over its filter counterparts or digital crop bars that imitate the anamorphic 'look'. The 35mm focal length provides a wide field of view to capture vast scenes.

In-built focus gears work perfectly with follow-focus setups to ensure smooth and accurate focusing.
