SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6X Full Frame Carbon Fiber Anamorphic Lens, Cine Lens for E Mount Cameras, 418g (Neutral Flare)

Excellent communication from seller, lens arrived in wonderful condition. Great image quality.

Not sure what the buzz is for this lens but, this is impossible to pull focus you are just playing a guessing game with this nothing will ever be sharp unless you measure the distance and get a perfect pull. Also the distortion is massive nothing in post you can do to fix it the heads will look abnormal and you will have to keep the subject pretty much dead center and hope you get it in focus. You want anamorphic it will cost you and no cheap solution will produce those Hollywood results don’t buy into the hype and save your money!

Great compact 35mm T2.9 anamorphic lens. Use with my Red Komodo with the 1.6X squeeze setting. Fairly sharp even at wide settings. Pincushioning is easily correctible in post. Great results with true anamorphic feel!

Excelente lente, ligero y calidad de imagen perfecta.

Top: Mini-Größe Mini-Preis Top LeistungSicherlich nicht für jedermann, aber für Filme und Fotografen, die eine echte Kino Leinwand beziehungsweise Weitwinkelperspektive suchen, absolut innovativ: so klein gab es anamorphe Objektive noch nie. Wer sich hier nicht auskennt, bitte recherchieren, auch unter Anamorphic Lens.Sowas geht technisch nur manuell fokussiert, aber man lässt sich ja die Zeit für die Bildkomposition das Wesentliches Merkmal bei allen anamorphen Objektiven Ist ja, dass zum Beispiel bei diesem objektiv man in der Bildhöhe den Bildausschnitt eines 35 mm Objektives hat, aber in der Bildbreite den eines 22 mm Objektives. Bis auf die System technisch bedingte Verzeichnung an den Rändern ist das objektiv optisch sehr ordentlich korrigiert, und wenn man bedenkt dass solche Objektive sonst 10.000-30.000 € kosten können, weiß man den günstigen Preis erst recht zu würdigen.Kauftipp!

For those of us who are passionate about anamorphic lenses and the cinematic quality they bring to footage, the SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6X Anamorphic Lens for Sony EF is a piece of equipment that's hard to overlook, despite its steep price.The 1.6x squeeze factor of this lens is a technical marvel. When shooting 4K footage, you get a resolution of 3840x1350, which is not standard. But here's the magic: it gives you the horizontal field of view equivalent to a full-frame 22mm lens. This means that while your footage has the characteristic anamorphic compression, you're not losing the wide-angle perspective that's essential for grand, cinematic shots.Size-wise, this lens is impressively compact, especially when compared to its larger Sirui siblings. It's almost hard to believe when you see it side by side with, say, the 50mm (as shown in the picture). This makes it an incredibly portable option for filmmakers who are always on the move.The oval bokeh produced by this lens is nothing short of lovely, adding that sought-after, dreamy, cinematic look to your background elements. And let's talk about the lens flares – they're the crispy blue that anamorphic lenses are famous for. However, they can be quite pronounced, which might not be to everyone's taste. For those who find the effect too intense, I'd recommend pairing this lens with a Black Mist/Fog filter to soften the sharpness and tame the flares a bit.Regarding the aperture, a T2.9 on this lens is roughly equivalent to an f/2.8 in terms of light-gathering capability. It's a common misconception that T-stops and f-stops are interchangeable, but T-stops actually measure the actual light transmission, which is more accurate for cinematography.In conclusion, if you're looking to bring that anamorphic charm to your footage without lugging around a massive lens, the SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6X is an excellent choice. Yes, it's an investment, but for the quality and cinematic flair it adds to your work, it's an investment worth considering. Highly recommended for the anamorphic aficionado!

Questa recensione è relativa al modello Saturn 35mm in fibra di carbonio.L'obiettivo è bello ma ha una ghiera del fuoco durissima e - visto che gli obiettivi anamorfici aumentano di suo l'effetto distorsione del rolling shutter- ad ogni cambio di fuoco corrisponderà un sobbalzo che rovinerà i filmati. Anche con fuoco motorizzato la forza necessaria è così forte che comunque anche fisso sul treppiedi si noterà il rolling shutter.E' difficilissimo mettere a fuoco anche con monitor esterno ed in più da la lunghezza minima di messa a fuoco è 1 metro quindi dovrete mettere e togliere un filtro close up ogni volta che vorrete avvicinarvi un minimo al soggetto.La lente è molto distorta come molte lenti anamorfiche ma il tipo di distorsione è particolarmente fastidiosa perché non è "a botte" ma "a cuscinetto" con la parte centrale risucchiata.I riflessi tipici dell'anamorfico sono poco presenti e solo con luce estremamente forte in condizioni di contrasto elevate. Se confronterete le immagini di una lente vintage sferica (che si trova a pochi euro) tagliata in formato anamorfico e la confronterete con quelle realizzate da queste obiettivo, queste ultime appariranno molto più distorte e di bassa qualità.La mia domanda è quindi: se la qualità dell'immagine è inferiore ad una normale lente da pochi euro, quale è il senso di complicarsi la vita con una lente di questo tipo? Un flare occasionale quando si punta un flash al buio? Spendendo 1.500 euro?
