SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6X Full-Frame - Review

Are you ready to elevate your video production game to a cinematic level with a touch of magic? Look no further than the SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6X Full-Frame Anamorphic Lens Cinema Lens.

As a professional product reviewer, I had high expectations for this lens from Sirui, and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. This lens is designed to create immersive viewing experiences, delivering a wider 2.4:1 aspect ratio when shooting in 3:2 and an even more expansive 2.8:1 aspect ratio when the sensor is set to 16:9. The immersive experience delivered by this lens is similar to what you would get in an IMAX movie theatre.

One of the unique features of this lens is its 1.6 times squeeze factor, which creates cinematic effects such as horizontal sci-fi reflections, impressive light flare effects, and an oval bokeh. The lens delivers a horizontal angle of view we would expect from a 31mm regular lens, but with more pleasing oval bokeh balls, adding extra expressiveness and aesthetics to the footage. This is incredibly useful for adding depth and texture to your shots and making your footage look like it was pulled straight from a Hollywood production.

The Anamorphic lens also has signature blue lens flares that anamorphic lenses are known for, which add an extra sprinkle of magic to your footage. The flares add an artistic touch to your shots that will take your video production to the next level, making it memorable to viewers and elevating your brand's image in the process.

In terms of specifications, the SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6X Full-Frame Anamorphic Lens has a focal length of 50mm, maximum magnification of 1:12.83 (V), 1:20.42(H), and a maximum support frame of full frame.

The lens mount is E Mount, and the construction is made up of 16 elements in 13 groups, with a maximum diameter of 88mm/3.46 inches and a total length of 142.9mm/5.63 inches. Despite its impressive design specs, this lens is relatively lightweight, weighing only 1073.6g/2.37lbs and is therefore incredibly user-friendly and easy to handle on shoots.

Lastly, it's important to mention that this lens has received rave reviews from customers, averaging a rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars with 30 reviews to date. Customers have praised the lens for its build quality, sharpness, and overall value for its price and believe that it is well worth the investment for anyone who is passionate about video production.
