The anamorphic revolution continues with the new Sirui 75mm Anamorphic lens.
This is the 4th lens from Sirui that has made anamorphic video both affordable and easy.

Sirui just released the amazing 75mm F1.8 anamorphic lens that also has a 1.33 times squeez aspect. This means that when shooting with this lens, just like on all their other lenses, you get a 33% horizontal field of view increase. This lens works on MFT and APS-C cameras which shoot in standard 16 by 9 aspect ratio. The final image will be de-squeezed by 1.33 times which results in a ultra-wide cinemascope video with an aspect ratio of 2.4:1

The wider aspect ratio is not the only reason why most people choose to shoot with anamorphic lenses. Some of the other anamorphic characteristics that this lens produces are those beautiful oval bokeh highlights. This lens has 13 aperture blades which is why it produces perfectly smooth and natural looking bokeh.

Another characteristic are the typical horizontal lens flares. What I do love about this lens is that aside from the blue light streaks it also produces very organic looking secondary flares and light blooms. By having a light source hit the front of the lens at an angle you can produce beautiful glows and haze effects that take away a bit of that digital edge from today’s ultra high definition cameras.

Another great thing about the Sirui 75mm lens is that it’s surprisingly sharp considering it has actual anamorphic optics inside. Unlike standard spherical lenses, most anamorphic lenses suffer from terrible softness specially when shooting wide open. Well this lens can deliver relatively sharp images when shooting wide open at F1.8 but once you close the lens down just one F-stop you will notice it’s as sharp as any good spherical lens.

Now if you want that soft and shallow depth of field then this lens will deliver even better than the previous lenses from Sirui. Considering it is a longer focal length of 75mm and that it’s an anamorphic lens, you will not have any problems getting that very narrow focus that creates a nice separation from the background and foreground.

Even when I was shooting with this lens on a micro four thirds camera I was able to get a shallow depth of field both when my subject was close to the lens or even as far as 20 feet away. If you get the APS-C version of this lens that will be even more noticeable.
