Used Sirui 1.25x Anamorphic Lens Adapter

Become a master of photography and videography with the SIRUI 1.25x Anamorphic Lens Adapter. This high-quality, professional-grade adapter is innovatively designed to transform any spherical lens into an anamorphic lens, or to enhance the squeeze ratio of existing anamorphic lenses.

The 1.25x squeeze factor, a classic feature in popular anamorphic lenses like Panavision, offers a 25% increase in the horizontal field of view. This versatile adapter also provides two additional advantages. Firstly, it can be paired with a 1.6x anamorphic lens to achieve a 2x squeeze, resulting in more pronounced anamorphic characteristics such as thinner bokeh and a shallower depth of field. This higher squeeze allows for more information to be included in the frame, offering greater flexibility for reframing in post-production.

Secondly, when used with professional digital cameras like ARRI that use 4:3 sensors, the 1.25x anamorphic adapter can directly desqueeze the image to an approximate 16:9 aspect ratio. This is the universal format for modern commercials, TVCs, and more. Using the 1.25x adapter on spherical lenses and shooting in 16:9 will result in a 20:9 aspect ratio, perfect for full-screen video playback on smartphones.

The SIRUI 1.25x Anamorphic Lens Adapter boasts wide compatibility, with an 82mm rear thread and four step rings (67mm, 72mm, 77mm, and 92mm) to match a broad range of popular lenses on the market. Despite its robust functionality, this adapter is compact and portable, measuring only 46.5mm in length and weighing just 650g.

The front single focus feature allows you to set the base lens at infinity and use only the adapter to focus. Moreover, the adapter maintains a constant 1.25x squeeze ratio at all focusing points, effectively eliminating the "anamorphic mumps" effect on your subjects.

In summary, the SIRUI 1.25x Anamorphic Lens Adapter is a durable, versatile, and innovative tool that will elevate your photography and videography experience.
