Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic Lens with 1.25x Adapter for Leica L

If you're seeking a lens that offers superior quality and versatility, consider the Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic Lens with a 1.25x Adapter for Leica L. This lens is designed to provide a wide field of view, equivalent to the horizontal field of view of a full-frame 22mm lens. This makes it an ideal choice for capturing stunning architecture, breathtaking landscapes, and tight indoor spaces.

The lens set includes four commonly used focal lengths, offering a comprehensive solution for capturing projects from various angles and perspectives. The high squeeze of 1.6x allows for a wider horizontal field of view, making it especially suitable for high-end productions.

When shooting in a 3:2 aspect ratio, this lens offers a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. However, when used on a 16:9 sensor, the aspect ratio widens to 2.8:1, providing flexibility for cropping in post-production. With the growing popularity of the 1.6x squeeze, many current monitors and cameras offer a 1.6x de-squeeze capability.

For a cinematic look, simply hit the lens with a light source to create those sought-after blue lens flares. The 1.6x squeeze also adds a unique stretch to the background, resulting in taller and skinnier bokeh.

The lens features a uniform barrel construction with a T2.9 to T16 aperture range, identical gear position, an 82mm filter thread, a 1/4" threaded hole, and both metric and imperial scales. Despite its robust features, it remains compact and lightweight, weighing in at just 930g/2lbs.

The lens is available in RF, L, E, and Z-mount options, making it compatible with professional cinema cameras and popular full-frame mirrorless cameras.

The package also includes a SIRUI 1.25x anamorphic adapter, designed to transform any spherical lens into an anamorphic lens or increase the squeeze ratio of anamorphic lenses. This adapter offers a classic 1.25x squeeze, similar to popular anamorphic lenses like Panavision.

When used with the 1.6x anamorphic lens, the adapter can achieve a 2x squeeze, resulting in thinner bokeh and a shallower depth of field. This allows for more information to be included in the frame, providing additional flexibility for reframing in post-production.

The 1.25x adapter is compatible with a wide range of popular lenses, thanks to its 82mm rear thread and included step-down rings (67mm, 72mm, 77mm) and a step-up ring (92mm). Despite its capabilities, the adapter remains compact and portable, measuring only 46.5mm in length and weighing 650g.

In summary, the Sirui 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic Lens with a 1.25x Adapter for Leica L offers a comprehensive solution for professional photographers and videographers seeking superior quality and versatility in their lens selection.
