FULL FRAME ANAMORPHIC! | SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6x Lens Review

This weather sealed?

Really enjiy this one!

cool coop video

I have the Canon RF version, and they are great (35, 50, 75); great lenses (I used them on my R5).

"on the 1s and 2s" means when DJs were mixing on the legendary Technics 1200 turntables. Mostly in the 90s UK DnB and Garage scene. FYI! 🙂

Will it work with extension tubes for macro?

The S5 has opengate 3.2 right? Or what about the anamorphic more on the S5?

oval bokeh and flares ... is there any other good/special thing about anamorphic, desqueezing has 2 option cheating more Pixel from left to right oder supersampling the vertical resolution. With a normal lens i would crop and use the extra pixel to choose the best part of the image or keyframes to remove some unwanted movement. Getting a wider field of view is a stupid reason normal lenses have a ton more option for wider view or is there someting special?. Can anybody explain is there a subtil difference in the image, for me it sounds like nobody knows there is a option to crop, and there is no loosing of a singel pixel of quality, 4k from left to right is alwals 4k, 10 to 1 aspect ratio, no problem any camera can do that ... Im about to buying a Sirui but i dont know why i have only 2 days to choose

I wonder how the lens flares are going to work with a diffusion filter. If you really want a cinematic look, I think both would be preferable.

Now do one for crop sensors 😊

Looks great, based on your examples I would use 50mm for most scenes . Prob use the 100mm for cut and jump shots.

What monitor is that

Can the komodo shoot 3x2 in anamorphic mode?

I think the lack of flares from reflections is likely related to the variable ND filters as well; they're made of two polarisers stacked on top of each other at varying angles so there's a good chance of at least one of them cancelling out any given reflection. Reflections are highly polarised and easily blocked (deliberately or accidentally) with a polarising filter

"It's actually really difficult to get it to flare." Damn that sounds great! Not looking for the flares, want that unique bokeh and aspect ratio without ruining my images!

“1s and 2s” comes from hip-hop. It’s a reference to turntables. DJs would often say they were spinning on the “1s and 2s.” 😆

What is the screen you added to the camera? I like this and would like to buy this.

is it possible to use this lens (e-mount) on a Black magic pocket 4k?
What would happen if you used an adapter from E-mount lens to Nikon F-mount first, and then from nikon to black magic?

On Amazon Canadain money its 2100$ pretty high price yet for me

love your videos man. Nice to see some other people on the show.

Love JJ Abrams lens flares

Hello, thanks for this video !
Do you know how to desqueez 1.6x in Davinci-resolve ?

Can u shoot this lense wo a ninja on a Sony a74? And what the attachment for the ninja does it come w the monitor?

Damn that looks a-tasty!

Just bought one of these kinda by mistake. F*&k knows what I'll end up doing with it. Thanks for the great and really helpful review.

Great video, light and informative. Most of the footage looks really great and I love all of it except the blue streaks against the sun. It’s too obvious. I wonder if the front glass is a filter that causes it?

Does it work well with BMPCC 4k

No EF mount! 😞
I want one for my Blackmagic Rig.

I appreciate the time and effort to make this video and all the info it’s great, I did see you guys highlight and emphasize the low budget that this lens is and the not so great profesional results which I agree, I’m sure whoever gets this lens and combine it with a Sony A7 or canon R6 isn’t expecting the quality of a RED camera, this is a entry lens and by no means is competing with a Hollywood budget production on the other had is also the director and story linen what will complement this lens, gear is great but is one element of many to create, the movie blue moon was shot on a iPhone but still an great example of what can be accomplished with a low budget, I don’t mean to offend your hard work and knowledge, I’m just sharing my input and thank you for your videos!

Hey I know that guy!

Nice review! So, with there being an RF mount, would this work on the Canon EOS R5 then? Also, I heard the Atomos Shinobi monitor has a desqueeze built in. Would that be the way to go with the R5? Again, great review, thanks!

"that's what you want from anamorphic, that vintage "bad look". Reminds me of when the unsophisticated would devise "film looks" that only encompassed the flaws of film and completely miss the beauty of what it does so well. If we had flares on set, the grip would be fired for being unprofessional. Now you can Pay to add them to your video and people talk a blue streak about how desirable they are!

Love this company. I have a request for this lens to be for Canon EF mount as well with a slightly wider aperture

Nikon is Japanese, so it's knee-kon, but with a short knee, kne-kon.

Hey Gerald, looking to rent this lens for just the heck of it. Do you have a video on how to desqueeze in post? Ill be shooting it on the Canon r6. Thanks

that lense looks great.
thank you for the review.

Hi Gerald.
SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6x Lens Can you let me know will this work on Nikon Z9,
in 4K ASPC mode
Many Thanks Regards Nigel Rand

„Democratized” - did he actually say it? This type of sense of entitlement is so annoying.

Sī Ray

That was different! why don't any anamorphic lenses have auto focus? is the question on my mind.

What the difference between a flair and a highlight? Answer: 100$

As a technical channel, most of your viewers are probably interested in which lenses to use, and would likely be interested in knowing what lenses you are using for every shot. It would be amazing if you added a side note for every shot about which camera/lens was used, even if just in the subtitles, such as [Sony FE 2.8/24 G].

Can you please make a video of Tiffen vs Schneider tru-match variable nd mk ii filter in these settings Shutter 1/50 with f1.4 or 1.8 at ISO 800 and use the minimun to maximum density of the Vnd filter ? I searched alot but there is not a single proper video of Schneider anyone made on any platform and I’m really looking forward for your comparison video.

it should be "sirui" just like "huawei"

This was great guys!

That guy on the left doesn't have a clue. Literally doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Seems like the sort of guy who comes straight out of uni claiming to be a dp,

Everything that comes out of his stupid mouth is trash
