Sirui has released new anamorphic lenses for mirrorless cameras plus a 1.25x anamorphic adapter that you can use with any spherical or anamorphic lenses. ⬇️More INFO below⬇️
➡Get the 1.25x anamorphic adapter here:
B&H bhpho.to/3OnV7ir
Amazon amzn.to/43Wqp5K
This anamorphic adapter has a back and front thread diameter of 82mm. It works with pretty much any lens and camera combination. Just keep in mind that the wider the taking lens and the bigger the camera sensor the more of a chance that you will start seeing the edges of the adapter. So it definitely will not work with very wide lenses.

24:13 - Conclusion
These lenses come in native mount for RF, L, E, Z mount camera systems, compatible with such full-frame cameras as Panasonic S1H, S5, RED Komodo, Canon R5, R6, C70, Sony FX3, Nikon Z6, Z7.
As an inexpensive alternative to branded full-frame anamorphic lenses, these lenses will make anamorphic accessible to more people.
A few mainstream mirrorless cameras currently on the market support 6K 3:2 image mode when their sensors are fully utilized. For example, when shooting at 3:2 with Panasonic S1H in 6K at 24 FPS, you’ll get a 6K footage in a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. When these lenses are used with most cameras that shoot in 16:9 aspect ratio the final de-squeezed aspect ratio is 2.8:1

An underrated point is that a 16:9 image with the 1.25x squeeze, is exactly a 20:9 aspect ratio, which is just about perfect for full screen viewing on iphones (19.5:9 being the iphone and 21:9 being the Samsung Galaxy). In practical use for online creators, I'd say that might be more valuable than the cinematic look.

My nearby cinema encourages up and coming local film makers to hire their facilities for special screenings, and they have specific screen size ratios that are required, and the files must be presented in a DCP format. There technical requirements reflect the academy sizes. For 4K scope (widescreen), it is 4096 x1716, or in full HD screening, it is 2048 x 858. They also have ratios for the flat screen size, which is more akin to standard non scope, and that is 3996 x 2160 (4K) or 1998 x 1080 for full HD presentation. Also, most places require frame rate to be in 24fps, although I've heard some cinemas may permit other frame rates as well, (25fps or 30fps), depending on location. Just sharing this so that everyone can keep it in mind when selecting how they will film their project. For online streaming, it doesn't really matter so much... you can do whatever you want. I stand to be further informed on this, if anyone has other information...

Great work, Tom! Appreciate it! I was waiting for someone to do this! I will definitely be getting the 1.25x adapter with these lenses. I plan on using them with the Panasonic S5 in the 4:3 Anamorphic mode for full 2 times squeeze with all the anamorphic artifacts these lenses+adapter can muster! The look of the adapter on spherical lenses in regular 16/9 was surprisingly good looking as well. Very similar effect as 1.33 squeeze anamorphic lenses alone. I'm guessing that's around 2.20:1 aspect ratio.

Thanks for the review!! I do have one question, and maybe I missed this in your video. How does the T2.9 Aperture effect the base lens? Let's say I have my Sirui 75mm 1.33x lens as my base lens, and I have the aperture wide open at f1.8. Will the adapter, being a T2.9, cause less light through to the sensor? As compared to just having the 75mm without the adapter. Thanks again!!

Hi Tom or anyone else, I noticed vignetting at 50mm and wider using the Zcam E2 which I presume is a Full Frame sensor? Do you think the vignetting would appear if you were using a 50mm m43 on a GH5 with the Sirui adaptor? Also how about a Canon Full Frame lens with a 0.7 speedbooster on a GH5 with the Sirui adaptor, would this have vignetting issues? The focusing was really bad on some of the takes. Do you think with practice it becomes easier to hit sharper focus with the adapter? Was it difficult to see you were out of focus during your tests? Thank you.

@fullbars Жыл бұрын

This is pretty typical since you are doubling your horizontal FOV to 25mm equivalent. Which is quite wide for anamorphic. I use a 35mm with a 1.5x adapter for a 26mm equivalent field of view and i get vignetting. I struggle to get anything wider than 28mm without vignetting.

Its hard to set perfect infinity focus on some of the taking lenses and that makes the adapter impossible to focus. As long as your taking lens is easy to nail infinity focus it works flawless. Another trick I found is to close down the aperture of the taking lens a bit which will correct any slight infinity focus misalignment

Please explain why every single time a camera or lens is showcased with a person.

@TomAntos Жыл бұрын

Its done to see how the lens distorts the face. Every lens has distortion. Its easier to see it in straight lines even when they're static. But a human face doesn't have any straight lines and therefore seeing how the person's face changes as it rotates will help tell you more about how that particular lens distorts people. Hope this answer helps!

@SilentD1 Жыл бұрын

I challenge you to show me ONE single example where what you just said is demonstrated. A lens characteristic expressed in a head turn, which can visibly distinguish it from another lens by using that exercise. If the head is placed dead center in the frame, you practically remove ANY chance of distortion being visible in that part of the frame. So unless you somehow screwed up your desqueeze or misaligned the horisontal plane, your wifes 100 head turns show nothing useful what so ever. Even if in theory it could. No person alive can see that especially in such a quick movement. Thats why you basically made it into a meme at this point. Congrats. What could have been useful however would be if you had an perfectly circular disc in the frame showing the focus squeeze in effect.
