The Sirui 50mm T2.9 Full Frame 1.6x Anamorphic Lens, is specifically designed to enhance the visual impact of your footage. This lens offers exceptional detail, cinematic bokeh, and unique lens flairs, ensuring a captivating experience for theater audiences. A notable characteristic of this lens is its ability to produce horizontal blue streaks when focused on a light source, lending a dreamy and sci-fi aesthetic to your footage. On full-frame cameras, the lens widens the horizontal angle of view by 60%, equivalent to a 31mm spherical lens, expanding the camera's field of vision to the sides of your subject. When capturing images in 16:9, they are de-squeezed to a final anamorphic 2.8:1 aspect ratio, while a 3:2 shooting ratio yields a 2.4:1 image.
The oval bokeh produced by anamorphic lenses is a key feature as it elegantly distorts distant objects and lights, creating a unique and abstract backdrop for your actors. With a T2.9 aperture, this lens delivers a shallow depth of field, beautifully blurring anything that lies in front or behind the chosen focal plane. For enhanced mounting flexibility, it features female 1/4"-20 threading, and its focus and aperture rings are geared for seamless use with a follow focus system.
