Anamorphic Video Lens 1,33x 35mm f/1.8 L-Mount

The Sirui 35mm f/1.8 1.33x Anamorphic Lens for L mount is a groundbreaking tool for filmmakers and videographers looking to infuse their footage with the magic and breadth of cinematic visuals. This anamorphic lens is meticulously engineered to transform digital video into a canvas for storytelling that rivals the immersive experience of theatre movie screenings. Cinematic Expansion: By employing a 1.33x anamorphic squeeze, the lens adeptly compresses the horizontal axis of the image. This process allows for a significant increase in the amount of visual information captured on the 16×9 sensor crop typical of S35 or APS-C cameras, ultimately unfolding into a sprawling 2.4:1 aspect ratio in post-production or directly in-camera for compatible models. The result is a widescreen cinematic vision that dramatically enhances the narrative impact of your work. Optical Excellence: At the heart of this lens is an optically distorting anamorphic element that not only widens your field of view but also imbues your footage with the characteristic anamorphic flares and oval-shaped bokeh. These visual signatures add depth, emotion, and a distinctive cinematic quality to your projects. The specialized coatings on the lens elements ensure that these flares enhance rather than overwhelm your images. Low-Light Capability and Depth: With a fast aperture of f/1.8, the lens excels in low-light conditions, allowing for a shallower depth of field. This aperture setting accentuates the anamorphic lens’s hallmark oval bokeh effect, separating your subjects from the background with a soft, out-of-focus area that cannot be replicated by digital effects or filters. Build and Specifications: Focal Length: A versatile 35mm focal length that offers a wide yet natural perspective for a variety of shooting conditions. Lens Construction: Comprising 13 elements in 9 groups, the lens is engineered for sharpness and clarity across the entire frame. Aperture Range: From f/1.8 to f/16, providing flexibility to adjust depth of field and exposure to suit any lighting environment. Manual Focus: With a generous focus throw of 191.2º, the lens allows for precise, smooth focus adjustments, essential for dynamic and narrative-driven filmmaking. Compatibility and Build: Designed for the L Mount system and compatible with up to Super35 sensors, the lens measures 117mm in length and weighs 700g. It features a robust aluminum build and a 67mm filter thread for additional creative control. The Sirui 35mm f/1.8 1.33x Anamorphic Lens is not just an optical instrument; it is a portal to cinematic expression, allowing filmmakers to explore new dimensions of storytelling. Whether you’re creating films, music videos, or any visual content that demands a compelling narrative, this lens offers the tools to capture the world in unparalleled widescreen beauty.
