With a full line of MFT anamorphic lenses under its belt, SIRUI pushes further into full-frame territory by adding a 75mm T2.9 1.6x to the already affordable 50mm.
Anamorphic lenses have, until recently, been pie-in-the-sky equipment, with the only offerings coming from ARRI or Cooke for primes and Angenieux for zooms. While the used market offered some interesting solutions, filmmakers had to contend with quality and usability issues.
But in the past half-decade, companies like Vazen and SIRUI have made anamorphic more affordable.
With lenses that initially covered MFT sensors and now full-frame mirrorless, the anamorphic world has opened its doors to budget filmmakers searching for that cinematic look.
Today, SIRUI makes another push toward affordability by expanding its full-frame anamorphic line with the 75mm T2.9 1.6x, a companion to the already released 50mm T2.9 1.6X.
