â¶This is a must watch video for anyone considering the new Sirui 35mm wide angled Anamorphic cinematic lens. This is currently the best budget anamorphic lens you can get. At F 1.8, this is an amazing lens, but there are things you should be aware of. This is not a full frame anamorphic lens, but if you use aps-c crop mode on supported cameras such as A7 III, you can use this lens.

The cut to you honking, flashing your light out the window and spraying haze was freaking hysterical. Awesome video. New subscriber. Thank you for the info! I just ordered both lenses.
I loved that cut to! The contrast before/after was hilarious
Dude that intro was the best. I got a huge kick out of that thank you.
Excellent review. Best one I've seen on the Sirui so far. Love your format.
This lens is great news for pushing the industry! Sirui confirmed in a comment on their facebook that they're also working on EF/RF mount versions too.
Thanks for the info. Watching all these reviews of this lens had bummed me out knowing that I wouldnât be able to use it on my 80D. Iâll just have to wait a little longer now.
You really covered a lot of important aspects of this lens others did not cover.that can make or break for consumers
Thank you for this great video! Came for SIRUI, stayed for the quality content! You got yourself a new subscriber sir!
Hi! That's awesome! Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
Thank you ! great video very informative!
The intro was pretty cool. Great Review. Well done bro đ€đ€
Haha, thanks Ulika! Couldn't do an anamorphic lens review without some headlight flares. LOL
Great review! thank you!
Haha - that intro made me crack up! great review man. Just ordered yesterday and could not be more excited.
Haha thanks Mike! I'm excited for you! You're gonna have a lot of fun!
Review on point, subbed.
Love your reviews.
That intro montage was epic!
Haha and how quickly it turns... that's reality! Thanks Stephen! LOL
great Se! love seeing your video! Learn alot from you!
Guo!! Man I really appreciate you leaving a comment here! So glad you learned something new!! Means a lot!!
very nice review! thanks!
That first scene was super dope. Genius
really enjoyed this video thank you!!
That's so awesome to hear. Thank you!
Great to see you are back man!!! Great content!!!!
Hey Steve! Thanks so much. Great to be back!! Ready to do some more gimbal videos later this month!
@@SePark we love to see you man! Recovered speedy! Still go easier on yourself, no rush!!! We will wait for the great content patiently!!!
Great video and thank goodness your technical finding matched my very non technical real world tests of the lensđ.
Haha Jake! Someone's gotta pixel peep. If I had an ice cave to explore, I would have left that task to someone else... LOL
Very Good Video Man! đ
So good video, bro!
Really well done! Thanks for the review brother!
Garrett!! Dude, thanks for watching and for the comment!!
Se Park i got you fam
Great review Se! Really nice lens for the price. In the hands of someone like you, I'm so sure that this lens can create magic in a budget!
Btw, that into is amazing. Anamorphic on steroids!! đ
I really wish that we live closer to each other, so that I could loan this lens from you for my m50 đđ
Rakesh Panicker haha wow thanks Rakesh! That intro scene was a new challenge: how do I film an epic car scene without moving the car much đđ. Iâll do a small scene breakdown on my Instagram soon! Hope you make a great day/night! đđđ€
Very informative. Thank you. Subbed!
Hi Mark! welcome! Really appreciate you commenting on here! đđ
You did such a good job on the review for this lens despite not being sponsored. Haha
I have watched a few different reviews on the 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm version on this lens. Iâm split between the 35mm and 50mm. I mostly shoot on the A7Sii so Iâm worried the 50mm might be too tight for some shots. Has the 50mm ever been too tight for you or have you been able to make it work for when you need wider shots?
Awesome review đđ
Happy to get a video from you again and it doesn't disappoint! Feel like i keep checking you page to see new uploads hahahaha
Tusa, haha you made my day my dude! Keeps me going! Iâll be pumping out more video this month than usual!
@@SePark glad to hear that! I just tried to order this lens and it asks which mount. If I choose Sony E will it still allow me to use lens on MFT (basically what I'm asking is it the same MFT lens with Sony E adaptor in package ? Thank man !
Sweet! Thatâs exciting! Yes, the base is all same. Itâs MFT mount base and you basically get a free adapter to go with it for the 35mm. 50mm previously was not like that. đđđ€
amazing intro))) i just made my own anamorphic lens from 35nap2-3m.
Awesome lense. You killed on this video like always.
Ryan Schlutz my Fuji friend!! đđđ thanks man!
Se Park haha. Now I feel like the awkward cousin with that comment. Haha. I did notice no adapter me. đ
great review! makes me wanna order one đ
Haha thanks Omar! It's a fun lens! I hope they make a full frame one soon! A7S III doesn't have aps-c crop mode in 4K.
Great review! thanks
Thanks Samuel! I appreciate you for stopping by the comment section to say that!!
gREAT VIDEO! What is the crop factor to the gh5? 2x?
This one vs Samyang/Rokinon cine lenses? I have the A6400 with the kit lense, Sigma 16mm f1.4 - is the anamorphic one better for like city lights and low light stuff? Was thinking of shooting a retro music video in the city night with shopping lights and stuff.
Thanks for a great review! Thereâs only manual focus on this lens, like the previous 50 mm, right?
Hi Robert. Yes that is correct. Sirui wonât be making auto focus for these unfortunately. Maybe one day but it would have to be a dedicated lens for one camera system. Thanks for watching!
Hi tanks for the video. Did you ever tried an Anamorphic sirui with a Sony gyro cameras? Do you know if they works in Catalyst? Tanks
Great stuff:)
Hi I just bought a Sirui anamorphic 35mm f1.8 and my camera is Panasonic GH5 and also I have Viltrox speed booster EF-M2II ( used typically for Sigma 18-35mm ). So Sirui offers an ef-mount adapter for their 35mm anamorphic. Will this work to combine 35mm anamorphic mft converted and mounted on ef speed booster and then mounted on GH5?
And if yes how good or bad will be the results?
Thank you
Have you tried adding a x0.7 wide angle converter on the front? Would that work ?
Your parking lot video inspired me
Sort of an unrelated question but which gimbal do you use? I ask because I have an xpro3 but of course there are no cages for it (not that it was made for video but you get the gist)
hi, may I ask where I can buy the same Sony E-Mount adapter as u shows in 3:24 in the video? Thanks. :D
Are there any M43 adapters to EF/R mount with all electronic functions which could you recommend? Much appreciated.
You are super funny đđđ this video made me subscribe to your channel. Now I'm going to buy this lens because of your video
Haha thank you so much!! Welcome! It's always great seeing these messages!! I really appreciated that!!
Can this be adapated to a Ef super 35 sensor. Like the BMPCC6k? Or is there like vignette?
What gimbal would you recommend for a 4K Blackmagic and Siru anamorphic lens combination?
Yea Micro 4/3! I know what the next lens I want for my GH5! With it, you can do anamorphic de-squeeze in camera.
Your children are amazing : ) Thanks for review
I'm guessing open gate on the gh5 should still work within the image circle?
Nice and creative! New subs here!
Thanks bro a video.
It s not gonna be cropped on Sony A7s iii?
Damn. I wish I saw this when you posted it. I just got this lens to use with my Panasonic S5, and so itâs easy to use in Camera, Panasonic supports anamorphic, but Iâm totally confused as to how to get this to look correct in Davinci resolve studio 18. if you happen to see this, any tips? And awesome video, thanks so much for sharing.
Great video and review! If you were using this lens on the new Sony A7Siii which doesn't have a 4k APS-C mode, would the lens still work? Do you just have to crop out the vignette edges in post?
Hi Phil, yes I just got my a7s iii and it is interesting. It doesnât have aps-c crop mode in 4K but it crops 1.1 when filming in 4K 120. Iâll test it with active stabilization on and see if that crops even more. So you wonât be getting the true 4K resolution but with slight post crop, it may be useable.
@@SePark Thanks for that info and looking forward to your test results. Isn't the sensor on the A7S iii slightly higher resolution than 4k? So when it does the 1.1 crop in 120 fps mode, it should be outputting right around actual UHD 4K, right? With the active stabilization turned on as well, then I would expect a slightly lower than UHD 4K resolution which gets a bit of an upscale when saved to the camera.
Sirui 50mm anamorphic on Fuji xt3(apsc) what final focal length we get after desqueezed ?
Hello, where can we found those screw adapters? Are there designed by Siriu to match their mount? I don't see any xmount adapter.
Hi Leroy, For some reason for 35mm version Sirui never made one for Fuji X mount.
How do I get those adapters? Looking to buy a MFT but change to EF to use on a speedbooster.
Is it better to just get APS-C format camera instead of fiddling with buttons on full frame camera
I have been trying to get support. Maybe you can help me. Can I use this lens on my Fujifilm X-T4? I don't see an X Mount.
Hey Charlez, unfortunately not this time around. I know that's little confusing since their previous 50mm had the X mount. This isn't the last lens they will make so don't lose hope tho...
Thumbnail was sick, just seeing this lolz
Haha thanks buddy! I like this thumbnail too! I had worse ones đđ
Thanks for the valuable information.
If I use the Speedbooster 0.71 on the Bmpcc4k and the Siru 35mm with the EF mount, how about the crop factor and the minimum focus distance?
It can't have an EF mount since it's a mirrorless lens
@@MKVD Thank you for this information.
I can't find that diopter, do you have a link? Thanks!
Can i get this lens to worl with my BMPCC6k?
Hey Se! I'd really like to get a budget anamorphic setup with these lenses, are there any relatively inexpensive camera bodies you'd recommend along with this?
Still shooting on my old Canon 70D at the moment. I was considering a Sony ZV-10 just because it includes 120fps capabilities, not sure if it's the way to go though.
Hey Teddy! In the current camera climate, ZV-e10 is a very good entry into the Sony eco-system. The fact that it has the e-mount alone at that price point is a strong plus. Sony won't be changing their lens mount any time soon or later so you can scale up from that camera easily in the future.
@@SePark Will go for that one along with the Sirui lens then. Thanks so much for the reply and for making this video!! It's the one of the best videos I've found on this lens
So just to confirm, will a full frame camera like the sony a73 work with all 3 anamorphic lenses if I use the apsc mode? With no issues? Thanks
Hi Sergio, in short answer, yes. Long answer, not all full frame Sony cameras - ie. A7S III does not have aps-c mode, but instead has 1.1. crop on the active stabilization. On my new 24mm review video, you'll find more about this towards the end of the video.
Great Video! Odd question... When you stretch the video in premiere does the grain get stretched too? Because you arent creating more pixels. You're just resizing the ones already there right?
Thanks Paul! Haha yes, no one talks about the anamorphic grains. You are correct. The grain is from the sensor, so essentially you would be stretching that out in post. Overall, it's all part of the "anamorphic look". :)
@@SePark Thanks for the info! Literally no reviewer has even mentioned this!
Intro made me click subscribe. Funny and a little close to home. LOL
What ND filters are you using for the optics?
Is there. Way to mount this to the rf system ?
Why wouldnât an extension tube work to shorten the minimum focus distance?
Thank you for the review! I am thinking about getting the new Sony A7S3 which is only 12mp so the 1.5 times crop would put me into HD territory with this lens. Would it be better to get one of those Laowa 9mm f5.6 full frame lenses when they come out for wide angle video and just add the same crop in post that this anamorphic lens produces?
Hi Sanjay, haha I actually ordered the A7S III and thought this question also. I did attend a Sony live video event where I double checked that there is no aps-c crop mode in A7S III in 4K unfortunately. The width field of view can be replicated with anything wider than 28mm to match the 35mm anamorphic. It's the lens flares we will be missing. I'll test out the Clear Image Zoom in 4K when I get the A7S III with this lens. Thank you for watching!
@@SePark sounds great, thanks for the reply :)
@@SePark
We get a full frame anamorfic view with no glares right)?
On Sony A7siii.
Can we have macro adaptor for this lens
Excellent and you probably will not read this comment but consider taking Surui new 1.6 lens in full frame Canon RF mount and using a Metabones 4/3s attached to a GH6 and let your testing opinions flow into the excellence of what you accomplish each and every upload you deliver. I really would like to see that results. Thanks for your efforts.
Haha well every comment that reads âyou probably will not read thisâ gets read. Jk⊠yes itâs hard to keep up with all the comments. Thanks for the kind words. I probably wonât be getting the Sirui full frame lenses but I am very interested in the upcoming Laowa anamorphic lenses.
@@SePark Thank you for reading; but it appears you have no interesting in âletâs attach this piece to that thing and see what happensâ. (Some humor, but I would love to hear your overview how that set up would affect the final outcome on that 4/3s camera. I am honored you even commented. Fantastic job.
Great video. Newbie here but why on my bmcc4k and the 35mm anamorphic it's super cropped. Can I fix this?
Thanks Adam! Technically we are all newbies still learning and helping each other. Hmmmm, If you're used to full frame lens measurement, 35mm Sirui is actually 53mm anamorphic. Sometimes that throws people off. Unless your question is regarding your camera setting.
@@SePark yeah I had it at 4k. It just wasn't very wide at all.
Sirui kindly made for lumix L mount why you left behind the money for lumix usser
Hey, if I use this lens on the bmpcc4k (mft sensor) will it become a 60mm lens because of crop factor?
Yes it will
This dude's smile makes me smile dk him but 100/100 would befriend
My best friend Se says he's making an exception for me cos I use Panasonic GH4. He'll loan me the Sirui 35mm Anamorphic Lens . Yay!!!! đ
Haha, glad you don't have a Fuji Toyin! I used to use GH4 at my work. Great camera! Fuji XT lines are great too! They don't support that mount on this round for some reason...
Can you use this lens in a super 35 sensor like the Canon C200 without vignetting?
Gonçalo M yes but not C200. This lens only comes in EF-M mount and not EF. In the Sony cameras, it would work since cameras like FS5 and FS7 has an E mount and fits aps-c lenses. Hope that answer helps.
Does it pair well with the Sony A7ii?
I am completely baffled why you have so less subscribers. I am from NOVA and came across your channel an year ago while looking for Ronin gimbal reviews. From that day, I thought yours will grow immensely for the content you brought to the content creator community. I wish a lot many subscribers. As always, thank you for your videos. I have truly learnt a lot on top of what I already knew and that means your content has depth. Be it gimbal tips or lens or camera tips and video editing tips.
I have just bought Sigma 35mm f1.4 considering its sharpness but which one would you suggest between Sirui 35 anamorphic and Sigma 35mm? Considering someone who wants it for environmental portraits and also documentary style lens? Thank you once again.
Hi Kalpesh, I really appreciate those kind words. You're one of my OG viewers then! I grew a lot in my relationship with brands and my maturity of how I handle these videos. My goal is to create un-regrettable videos and it's been a good season. I'm really glad to hear my videos helped. Sigma 35mm F1.4 is beautiful lens. Sirui 35mm is a very specialty lens. It's not an everyday versatile lens. Unless you have a project where you really want that lens flare to pop, I would go with the Sigma 35mm over the Sirui 35mm for portraits. Anamorphic manual lens are not easy to focus on command. Hope that helps! Thanks for the support!
Se Park Thank you for your quick reply and affirming my view on 35mm lens. I truly wish you lots of success outside and inside CZcams world.
What strength diopters would you be using on this lens?
I just uploaded a new video with some sample footage using the +4 diopter using the 24 mm. It's towards the end of the video. It will depend on what kind of shots you are trying to get, but I find +4 to be most useful. The kit I mentioned in the new review video contains 4 different ones.
Does it work with BM6K ?
How would this be on a fs7
Itâs missing something idk why but something feels off. Only thing I can think of is the compression
Cool vid, I have the Sirui 50mm Anamorphic Lens. I just bought the Sirui 35mm Anamorphic Lens, I shoot with the Nikon Z50 APS-C mirrorless camera.
QualityVideoService yesss! Z50 đđ One of three cameras I actually named đ
So it s cropped?
@@yaroslavkovalenko5590 You have to de-squeeze Sirui 35mm Anamorphic in post, looks great. I don't notice any crop.
@@QualityVideoService i thought it s automatucally de-squeesed while shooting
@@yaroslavkovalenko5590 No, with the Sony a7 III in the menu setting, adjust for an APS crop sensor lens & enabled Anamorphic Desqueeze for in-camera recording, in EVF monitor the image will be stretched. Though the Nikon Z50 has an APS crop sensor, the image from the anamorphic lens is still squeezed in the EVF monitor. I purchased a Bestview R7. It has a De-squeeze function for anamorphic lenses. I still need to de-squeeze the anamorphic image and postproduction.
Maaaan You Funny lol! I enjoyed watching this video and I'm gonna buy it now with your link for my GH5S
Haha I enjoy making these videos! Thanks for that comment and letting me know man! Youâre gonna have a lot of fun with that! I appreciate you mate!
hey hey !!! how are you, I just have a question , witch lens do you suggest I buy first the 35mm or the 50mm ?
Hey hey Sebastian! Definitely the 35mm for most video shoots, if you were to pick one. It's lot more versatile. Because it's a cropped lens, 50mm is little too long for every scenario. You can always get closer to zoom in, but you can't zoom out. You'll find this especially true when you are traveling and filming. This 35mm lens will feel like a 42mm if you use a full frame camera, and about 28 mm if you use a cropped aps-c sensored camera. Hope that helps!
Se Park thank you very much ! Great video
@@sebastianbrenner any time! Answering all comments within 2 days of the video is my way of helping people. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi I heard there is a problem with how the lens secures to the mount of the cameras. Did you encounter any problems?
Mine has a big problem with sloppy loose mount. Just got it and it is unusable for video. Any focus adjustment makes the horizon rock from side to side. Just search Sirui 35mm problem and watch that video. My copy is worse than that one.
@@tinasambo3227 on what camera?
@@insanedb G9, GX85, G85, and Pen-F. All are super loose.
Tim Love I have the bmpcc 4K but havenât received my lens yet, Iâll let you know
Is it auto focus?
I love this guys channel. lol
and I love this guy's comment lol (thanks man!)
@@SePark haha you are absolutely welcome! genuinely entertaining and informative as always.
Give me CANON EF-S please! Would love to see some footage of 35mm vs Sirui. I'm not sure what makes it look better. Trying to understand anamorphic
I hope they expand upon more mounts and even make full frame glass. This 35mm anamorphic lens will be wider than a 35 mm aps-c lens. The "look" really comes from the bokeh characteristics and the lens flares. You can fake the flares in the editing sotware if you are willing to spend some time in front of a computer. I'll do a tutorial on this later this year. :)
@@SePark gotcha. Yes will love at least Canon APS-C mount though. Would at least like to mount on my Canon EF mount
@@darlingtonjonesimagery9247 â I'll let them know. Seems like lot of Blackmagic PC 6K users are trying to use this lens with the EF mount. If the demand is there, I think they will try to make one.
@@SePark and c300 users
why nobody's talking about wobbling effect with this kind of lens using ibis and how to fix it, does anyone noticed?
Great video! Can this lens work on a Blackmagic 6k camera?
Hi Daniel, unfortunately the 6K with the EF mount does not support this lens. The Blackmagic 4K with the micro 4/3 supports this lens. Hope that helps!
@@SePark Thanks for the reply. Definitely helpful. Hopefully in the future they can make their lenses for EF mounts. Cheers!
@Daniel DiFilippo any time! Yes I'm waiting for some other lenses from Sirui too! They seem to be hitting off well so only matter of time!
Nice video!... And lens đ
Haha thanks man! No FUJi mount this time around. They know something we donât? đđđđđ€đ
@@SePark maybe no one is buying it in xmount ? đ
Vu Nguyen // nVu Films yeh I suspected that FUJi new sales dropped. I remember the days I almost got one đ
@@SePark LOLđ
@@SePark they still probably should have made it for xmount because the Fuji is the best APSC video camera available and that is what this lens mount is for đ
that intro had me dead
I just ordered this for my GH5, it falls on about the Median price of my lens collection so I consider it to be a bargain !
i have a BMPC 6K which has a super 35 sensor , so am i still going to get those Vignettes ?
Rahul Rishi yes technically, not as bad as full frame sensor cameras. The problem is the mount. This lens does not have a EF mount currently. It's EF-M mount. If they ever make an EF mount, you will have so much resolution that little crop I'm won't sacrifice much.đ
@@SePark yeah but by using adaptor can we still get a proper anamorphic ratio?
@@rahulrishi8800 do you know of any EF-M to EF mount adapter? I know there are EF to EF-M adapters but not the other way around. I heard someone unofficially retrofitting a Nikon F mount as an alternative, but the unknown factor would be the flange distance.
@@SePark i thought of taking a MFT lens and MFT to EF mount adapter , is this going to work ?
@@rahulrishi8800 that's interesting. You found an adapter that converts MFT to an EF camera mount? Any time you go through a non standard adapter or speed booster, you're going to face some image ratio discrepancies. Going back to the general rule that super 35 is slightly bigger than the aps-c or micro 4/3, you will get vignetting. Your advantage on a 6K camera is that you can crop.
I wonder if there exists, somewhere in the universe, a Sirui reviewer who didnât get their lens from Sirui.
It's the first affordable anamorphic yea, but not being full frame, and it not being weather sealed, it's a hard pass on me. Hopefully they address those two major points in the future or hopefully they get some competition soon. Btw Fuji is superior to Sony and Nikon is superior to everyone..hehe
đđŸ
The elements of this lens are made by the german Schott company which belongs to the german Carl-Zeiss company. So no wonder why this lens is so sharp.
