Appreacite the review sir! I'm looking at the Blue flare RF mount 35mm with a 1.6X expander to get 2X Anamorphic on the R5C. The carbon fibre light weight design looks more appealing for gimbal use on the RS2 compared to the standard sizes. Overall I believe Sirui will make a full set as a package deal but for now, I'll buy 1.
How do you export your videos?? I've never seen a video this sharp on RUclips and I watch TONS of lens reviews and things shot on 6k and above. They all seem pretty capped out on RUclips though. Please share how you get this clarity!
Will this lens work in a Canon R7?? I just stumbled on this video looking for an entry anamorphic lens and the footage you showed looked amazing! The manual focus is a bit intimidating but the lens looks worth it
Mark, would you say it would be fun shooting talking head videos on this? I have a small studio space (11x11) and would be great to “enlarge” it on an anamorphic lens like this. Thoughts?
I tested it and sent it back for the following reasons: close focus limit 90cm (I knew before buying) Image stabilization doesn't work with this lens (I didn't know and nobody talks about it) manual focus (I knew that too) Overall a great lens, but the sum of the disadvantages didn't convince me.
Cinema lenses are like that for a reason. Auto-focus sucks balls in video on nearly every camera and smoothly pulling precise focus is much harder, if not impossible, without doing it manually. Image stabilization reduces the useable sensor area. Sounds like you don't like cinema lenses as a whole. Just stick with photographic lenses if you want all those things.
@@yargnad manual focus isn't the problem, but in addition, non-working IBIS (looks horrible) and minimum focusing distance were too many compromises. and yes, I'll stick with photographic lenses until focus distance is acceptable and the IBIS works.
@@vanair, I've been hearing of micro-jitter due to the size and weight, but the majority of 'influencers' leave out critical information so it's less review and more sales pitch.
Hello..was looking into anamorphic lenses to experiment with my photography..notice the name labels "Venus" and "Saturn" lenses?..what is the differences between them?..and what does the "1.25 x Anamorphic Adapter do? to the lens/image?..thank you
i just got this lens for my canon R7 but when i put it on my camera doesn't let me take photo OR video. When i hit record or try to take a photo it simply doesn't do anything.. Is there something i'm missing or a way i can fix this?
Yeah, it looks like he is not shooting in 24 fps... It's personal taste, but I think not using 24fps detracts from "cinematic" feel of the footage, hence why bother with an anamorphic lens in the first place?
@@warickhonour5736 anamorphic gives you more image and you get true wide-screen without cropping. You can be closer to the subjects and still get good background. It makes movements a lot more versatile as well, bigger reveals, more activity in a trucking or panning shot... As far as shooting in 60p vs 24p, I'll use 60p/120p for the sole purpose of creating a slow-motion sequence. On the same note, I can still get 24p slickness from a 60p clip running at 24p by compensating with a few settings. You'll never really notice frame rate when the video is produced properly.
Hi! Urgent question if anyone can help me. I would like to get the Sirui 35mm F1.8 anamorphic lens 1,33 APS-C but I have the impression that it exists only in 4/3 mount. On my side I have a Sony A6000 so I need an E-mount (Sony). On the official website when I select sony mount it adds an extra adapter ring to mount on the lens which remains a 4/3. Will I have any loss ? Also is it still interesting to choose this lens with my camera ?
No there are other versions that are 1.33 that are made for full frame too. The 35mm MFT version be used on Sony E, Nikon Z and RF mounts with a screw in adapter.
@@kaeanupam1671 Feel like this is the problem with RUclips content creators making content with this lens or any anamorphic lens in that sense. Most these people never even shoot manual/ focus on cinematography over videography - the footage itself doesn't show the potential of the lens, the exposure of the shots, the composition, the focusing, the color grading - doesn't do the lens justice (or what's possible with it) This footage except for flares doesn't show anything of anamorphic character. It is a shame. Wish someone would just make a video with a 30-60 cinematic sequence in the intro, then go over the lens instead of these watered down product reviews.
Stay away from this company their customer service is bad they do not respond to you. They do not ship orders properly. Do not listen to these paid RUclipsrs. I am a customer who ordered from them and was treated like trash.
Anamorphics lenses are not meant to be clinical, even though Sirui lenses tend to be the sharpest and cleanest. Personally, I want a "dirty me up" filter for lenses
JJ Abrams ruins everything he touches. I can't stand the lens flare streaks at all. The mini Hawk hybrid lenses solve almost all my gripes about anamorphics, but they're out of my budget. Can't wait for Sirui or some other budget-minded company to bring these solutions to modestly priced lenses.
I got this one. It’s so good and I can’t wait for more lenses in the Saturn lineup!
I'm about to buy me one before football season.

looks fantastic!
Very very THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which diopter did you get?

is it possible you have an nvidia gpu?
Came for a review on the lens - left wanting to know your export settings
Do you have a link to the diopter you are using with it? thanks
How do you avoid wobble in the shots using the anamorphic lens?
Love the content ❤️👍
Have you tried to put it in ap-c mode to see if you can get a 52mm out of it also?
Can we attach this lens to a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k,6k, and 8k?
I just stick black tape over my wide angle lens top and bottom. Job done. 😆
I did the same (cropped in post) with the Viltrox 13mm, but if I could buy a filter that would give me the anamorphic artefacts, that would be great.
@@itacatv2146 You can just add the flares in Resolve.
@@ArcanePath360it’ not the same 😉
@@CiprianMunteanuVideographer No kidding
Lol how come all these times film makers missed this idea?
is this full frame lens ?

Pretty sure they do a Canon mount!
@@MarkMcGeePhotos Aah that's amazing news! I'll look into it
So are there any compromises in the quality comparing to the Venus line to make it smaller and lighter, or is the optics similar?
Mark, would you say it would be fun shooting talking head videos on this? I have a small studio space (11x11) and would be great to “enlarge” it on an anamorphic lens like this. Thoughts?
Is this lens available for full frame sensor cameras? I look on Amazon and just seem to find a wide variety for cropped sensor cameras.
hi, can you please tell the name of the song used here? thanks for the video...
Impressive content, keep it up. ;)
i have a canon 60d what one would i have to get for this to fit
I’m getting good results on C70 with this.
Which ND filter did you use?
I tested it and sent it back for the following reasons:

Image stabilization doesn't work with this lens (I didn't know and nobody talks about it)

Not even active stabilization from a Sony fx3 for example?

Is there any way to adapt this to my M43 BMPCC 4k?
Is this manual focus only?
Nearly all cinema lenses are auto-focus.

There is a button in the settings- you have to allow shutter release without lens attached. Look through all the menu’s you will find it.
I’m sticking with the 1.33x because I don’t see anymore anamorphic look with the 1.6x versions.
why do the footages look so sharp though

@@warickhonour5736 Exactly. Everything over 25p looks like live TV broadcast to me which is very undesirable, imho.
@@warickhonour5736 high iso and a mostly closed aperture will give you a really deep DOF, so there's not much to focus.

Just love that Anamorphic look Mark. Love the film " Anamorphia" by Make ART NOW !
2:21 wow micro-jitters baaad
Good observation 👌👌👌
hii bro big fan of u
I was super excited for this lens but the footage makes it look like there's just a fishing line over the lens. Not sure if I'm sold on it :/
No disrespect to you though! You did a great job with the review and the broll just not a huge fan of the look
Very wierd image from this lins! look upper right clouds at 2:20 , very weird.
The distortion is exactly opposite of what you'd want from an anamorphic lens. negative barrel distortion? .. I don't like it.
Until you notice the pincushion distortion....
Does it has autofocus?
No, all Sirui anamorphic lenses are purely manual lenses.
