Sirui 40mm T1.8 1.33X S35 AF Anamorphic Lens (E Mount Blue Flare)

Sirui 40mm T1.8 1.33X S35 AF Anamorphic Lens (E Mount Blue Flare) | Cinematic widescreen framing with autofocus

Your footage gets a distinctive widescreen feel and blue anamorphic flare, while autofocus helps keep moving subjects in focus. This interchangeable Sirui lens is made for filmmakers using Sony E-mount APS-C cameras who want an anamorphic look for video work. Its 1.33x squeeze gives you a wider image after de-squeezing, without needing to choose a different focal length to create that format. The blue-flare version brings a recognisable streak effect when light sources enter the frame; it’s a creative look, so consider how prominent you want it in each shot. With a stated 39° angle of view, it suits composed shots where you want room for a subject and their surroundings. It’s best suited to filmmaking rather than general-purpose still photography, especially when you want anamorphic character and autofocus in the same lens.

Working with the anamorphic image

Plan to view or process your footage with the lens’s 1.33x squeeze corrected, so people and objects appear in their intended proportions. That also helps you judge the final widescreen composition while filming. If you’re building a video workflow around this look, make sure your monitoring or editing process can apply the appropriate de-squeeze.
