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

Sirui 40mm T1.8 1.33X S35 AF Anamorphic Lens (Z Mount Neutral Flare) | Widescreen character for deliberate filmmaking

The 1.33x anamorphic design gives this Sirui lens its distinctive widescreen approach, with a neutral flare character that keeps the effect restrained. It’s made for filmmakers using APS-C cameras and suits planned video work especially well, from narrative scenes to interviews and short-form projects. The 40mm focal length offers a familiar starting point for composing people and scenes, while the anamorphic image gives you more horizontal room once it’s de-squeezed in post. This is a specialist lens for Nikon Z, rather than an all-purpose option for every kind of photography. Its strengths are most useful when you can take time over framing and want an anamorphic look without making lens flare the centre of attention. If you’re building a compact video setup around APS-C, it brings a clear creative purpose to the kit.

Plan for the anamorphic workflow

To view and edit the footage in its intended proportions, include de-squeezing in your post-production workflow. That extra step is worth planning for before a shoot, particularly if clips need to move quickly from camera to edit. The neutral flare option gives you a subtler visual accent when bright lights enter the frame, so you can let the scene’s composition carry the image.
