how much flare do you want?
Sirui: yes!
The part of the cars could be perfectly a sequence from a feature film or Netflix, how beautifully recorded and graded, congratulations
Your manual focusing is so good, I'm sure some people will think that these lenses have autofocus.
Those garage shots were hot Brandon! Nice lens, that f1.8 on the 35mm though 🔥 Happy New Year!
I see everyone commenting about the way the flare looks. I use my Sirui lenses with a tiffen warm black pro mist to make the flares look more organic and reduce how blue they look. I think these lenses need diffusion to function at their best.
Would love to see some sample footage
Same - sample footage pleaseee!!
whats up with that sample footage?
Sample footage please!
Brandon, Thank you, this video shines. Every pro checkbox is marked. Excellent writing, delivered with the skill of a National correspondent. I got all my answers and the most incredible video postcard of hometown Albuquerque.
For me, Anamorphic's have never been about the flare, its all about the wide. Everything I do is dedicated to wide, I want one of the 75's to compliment my long Xpan lens. Long AND Wide!
great lens but the flare look so distracting not as orgainc as more expensive lenses
was just thinking how gross that flare looks compared to an atlas orion, but the price difference is massive
@@austinscherzberg4569 true but most people who will be using anamorphic are all about the look and I would rent the Atlas or any diy anytime over a fake anamorphic look that will make the final results looks childish for me it's a toy, I would rather add crop and flare and oval bokeh in post rather than using this
@@zombiebobo your videos on your channel are mediocre at best, how do you edit that horribly yet pretend to be all that?
One of the first rules of good cinematography is never to draw attention to the camera.
I just got this today and went out and did some landscape photography as a test, and I absolutely love it. Will try IR tomorrow before some video this weekend.
How do you find it for photography? Is it tricky to desqueeze, considering the sirui anamorphics have a 1.25x at min focus and 1.33x at inifinty.
I'm actually keen on getting one and using it for photos as well.
This 24mm has far more character to it than the other two. Honestly sometimes I can't tell between the 35 and the 50 which is being used on a shot. This one is clearly a 24 with a really pleasant distortion and while the flaring is obvious, it's pretty easy to control.
I just love your work man,
What an amazing talent u have,
Its so much fun to watch u do what u do.
Thanks for making the point of talking about the image circle in full-frame!
This is gonna help me really big in improving my quality in shooting.
dude how. Take a look at those lensflares before you buy. They look horrible. Your clients are literally gonna be like: 'the fuck are those image errors'
Good stuff here dude! Some killer shots in there
I just bought both the 24mm and the 50mm. They'll arrive in a couple of days. I shoot on a Sony FS2. I've been using primarily standard camera lenses. Really excited.
I thought this would be the most fun lens to have - but already after 30 seconds the blue flare actually annoyed me.. Great work by you as always though..!
I actually, on Fuji, found it surprisingly hard to flare like that. Had to get it just right. So I don't think it's a detriment. He's working the flare real hard.
@@sbinalla88 Exactly
Man, I'm seeing a lot of backlash against the blue horizontal flares now that they're suddenly so easy to accomplish and plastered across every Sirui lens test. I can even agree the flares were a bit much in this video, too. But the thing is, these are /lens tests/ after all, and they're trying to showcase unique characteristics of the lens as much as possible. I think RUclipsrs are TRYING to get (or allow) flared up shots for the videos. In reality yeah, nobody actually wants a blue streak across the image during a regular tripod shot in the park... but in a real filmmaking scenario, a mattebox with french flags would help you get rid of random flares that aren't desired. After that, you're only going to get flares when something genuinely very bright shines directly into the lens from in-frame.
Plus, controlling flares is exactly what cinematographers have done while filming real movies with anamorphics for decades. It's no surprise that gaining access to real anamorphics at the indie level is going to force one to work more like a Hollywood DP. You can't get away with not having a mattebox, and you need to be conscious of firing too much light right into the lens, with the tools to control the lighting in your environment. For exactly that reason, a specialized lens like this may not be the best choice for ultra budget filmmaking or things like random B roll of a sports game unless you're okay with blue streaks appearing on their own terms.
And as a more generally directed side note, I also do not understand people criticizing these lenses for not looking "cinematic" enough either. These are RUclips B roll videos shot with mirrorless cameras and largely available light, and the footage is looking marvelous under a low bar. If these lenses were in a proper filmmaking scenario supported by budget and skill going into the right things, I believe they'd produce beautiful images to be mistaken for "real" movies. Ten years ago people used to rave about how cinematic the Canon 50mm STM lens was just because it was... I dunno, sharp with a shallow depth of field? But now that we have a full set of sharp, fast, REAL anamorphics at /DSLR lens prices/... now we gotta be woke and say they aren't cinematic enough. It's crazy! These lenses are nothing short of incredible. They aren't perfect, but if people flock to them, the race to offer the best affordable anamorphics will be ON for lens manufacturers more than ever before... then we'll really have options.
I feel like Sirui wasn't going for the cinematic look, they were going for the "RUclipsr who labels every lens as a CInema lens after he puts focus gears on it" look.
Wait...focus gears don’t automatically make it cinematic? Damn.
what does "cinematic" mean to you?
@@Pierorocks Prob thinking those Cooke or ARRI glasses he won't get even if he sells his soul 'cause ain't worth that much.
Nice, waiting for a 2x squeeze version.
For me 1.8 is too much, I would settle for 1.5, and live a happy film maker life
The lens is not my style, but Dang! You make it look good!
I’ve a sirui and a vazen. You can honestly control the flaring quite easily with matte boxes. For people getting a little excited about flares popping up. To get them to flare you basically have to stick your lens at something like the sun or a headlight, and even then straight on. They don’t just randomly flare with any old light source like some out of control loony like some reviews have you believe. You have to try quite purposefully to get them to go off and sometimes I’ve found the sirui refuses to do it. If you’re regularly running about without a matte box pointing at the sun then you might end up struggling - ( if you hate flares) but for shots that are even remotely thought out it really isn’t an issue.
i want an anamorphic just to get those sweet looking flares!
Hey can you tell how the autofocus is ? Is it good enough for the somy fx30?
Nice lenses, but the blue cast is just insane...they're too prone to flare for my liking, sadly. I'll stick with the Russian lenses for a bit longer :D
Maybe Sirui can make a version with neutral white flare.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Or gold. The tiny Moment anamorphic comes in blue or gold.
That can be addressed in post pretty easily.
What Russian lenses?
You rock Brandon, I really like your test
Can’t decide between 24 and 35 🥶
I already have a Sigma 18-35 with a speed booster for 4/3
Which did you get?
Awesome review. And great footage!
Also, I just realized that the 35mm is actually a 40mm equivalent. Because (35mm / 1.33) x 1.5 = 39.47mm
So I'm buying that one first! Because the 40mm is my favourite focal length.
Thank you for the helpful review Brandon and loved your tests.
Had missed seeing a vid from you for a while. Thanks and happy new year
Nice Footage! love the distortion the 24 gives!
Another great review from you Brandon! Happy new year
I watch all your videos Brandon. You always add depth to your reviews and from what I see, only review products for the quality film maker. I'm so tempted to buy all three of these lenses but I really can't get past the flare.
I would genuinely love to see you make a longer video showing how successfully the lens hoods can be prevent flares in their shots.
i really don't like how these flares look :(
Great Video... Id love to see a video about how to actually de-squeeze the footage shot on M 4/3, Aps-c, and Full Frame.
Good video. If your goal is to gain more field of view horizontally, these are essentially useless on full frame cameras, they don't cover the sensor and you have to crop any gained FOV. Im not sure sacrificing focal length in the name of horizontal FOV is a good trade off. Not to mention there isn't really a sizeable squeeze. If you are using them on a crop sensor I could see them being useful.
Just got my 50 mm. It's a cool lense to spice up your video production. I only wish it could have AF, especially within this price tag.
Bro .. inspirational! Been thinking about trying an anamorphic out for my a7sIII .. I’ve been super skeptical on pulling the trigger
This was REALLY helpful. Well filmed. Thanks so much!
Superb video as always. Happy New Year 🎊
Your heart is always my good Master.
amazing footage as always!
Your opening dialogue looks like Roosevelt park in Albuquerque, New Mexico!
Brandon! Thanks for another great video!
The flare is like a 2014 thing feel, Iam not sure
Interesting lens! I don't see myself using it but nonetheless you made it look very good.
tbh, this looks like Alexa footage. Were you using any haze filter?
that flare feels like Star Trek
Hey bro great to see you again. Hope you had a great Christmas and just wanted to wish you a very Happy New year and may 2021 bring you much success, joy and happiness. Stay safe and catch up again real soon.
Incredible footage a salways Brandon. I'm always SO incredibly impressed by how much you capture and how great you make even the most generic thing look!
I'm curious though, what mount/pole/tripod (not sure about the naming) do you use on the gimbal to get these awesome long reaching shots?
also, the shot at 1:42 (awesome job btw) starting above the ceiling light, did you use an external monitor at the bottom of the gimbal or something to keep track of the frame? If not, how do you learn to expose and frame a shot so well without looking?
Incredible work as always man! Hope one day to reach even a fifth of your skill
So for FF users, since the lenses require a crop in, isn’t this the same as just shooting with a normal lens and chopping off the top and bottom? (Besides the blue flares of course)
It's different because the horizontal field of view is different. E.g. On the 35mm f/1.8, it's 35mm vertically, but 26mm horizontally. A regular lens would give you the exact same fov in both axis.
When you crop to APS-C mode on a Sony it uses a smaller portion of the sensor but still captures 3840x2160 pixels (I believe); which means that the resulting anamorphic footage would also have that resolution, where if you record full frame and crop off the top and bottom you're cropping out some of those 3840x2160 pixels resulting in lower resolution footage used.
But if he just shot full frame and then cropped it in post you would be correct.
Def wanna try some 24mm anamorphic. Flares might be a bit too much for me on the Sirui
HOW DO YOU GET SO MANY LENS'S?!?!?
Is the 24mm as warm as the 35mm? I have the 50mm and remember hearing the 35 and 50 differ a lot in color temp, with the 50 being the coldest. I don't really care, the 24 is exactly what most of us have been waiting for.
Are you using a 1/8 black pro mist filter or is the softness the lens? From experience both the sirui 50 and 35 are somewhat clinically sharp but this has a bit of a subtle blooming to it. Jw. Great video as always Brandon!
Thanks, I added some bloom in post to some of the shots (auto garage, some other window shots).
Brandon, fantastic work.
Lens flares are crap, wtf; people will buy this? I don't even know why, because I like how their 1.8 50 mm looks on flares.
It's not just about the flares though. There's many benefits of anamorphic lenses.
Can you please compare the 24mm 35mm and 50mm anamorphic lenses with standard full frame lenses with same focal length? This way we can see a difference in field of view maybe and look
I was confused about the low quality video upload.
Because this aspect ratio is so wide, i had to switch to 4k playback to get good bitrate.
Thanks Brandon!
Thanks for your video :)
PERFECT thx!
best videographer in the world, always inspired
Such a amazing video, Thanks for sharing ! I am wondering can you make a video about color grading? :)
I think it’s has a great character. I would def use it.
Amazing
Thanks!
This lense plus slog3 and good grading can make it into cinemas!
The flares look terrible in my opinion.
agree...it doesn't have any artistic quality to it. Just looks distracting.
I'll be using a matte box for sure to control them. They look better on the other lenses i think
same feeling. the flares look too much artificial
amazing bro
Thanks for video. I am keen to get the 35mm lens especially as it is f1.8 rather than the f2.8 of the 24mm. A question I have is whether Sirui is a big enough company that they should not be using the likes of Indiegogo and they should just do their own R and D and product development.
Small amount of drool, loads of head shaking in awe and disbelief, think I may have found my rosebud!
Lens looks a little soft on a few parts - does it work with the AF on the Sony? Great video BTW!
No autofocus on these lens'. Straight up manual:)
He also added some Gaussian blur in post. Would have liked too see a few without that
Finally i gt the answer for how to achieve cinema look
Thanks for the video, Do these lenses come in E or FE mount ? or do you need an adaptor ?
Hi brandon,
Why don't you use the clear image zoom on your A7SIII ? I saw another review from Mauro's Films and he says that he use the clear image zoom till 1.3x for this lens on his A7SIII without loosing quality or at least "too much" because the CIZ just croping into the sensor.
Did you test it this way ? And what do you thing about this method ?
Thx for your work, always a pleasure to see a new video on your channel !
Cool!
If i ask you to pick one lens from 3 of these, will it be the 35mm?
For the gimbal shots are you pulling focus, using auto focus or setting to a length and using lower aperture‘s
Preset focus, maintain distance from subject
So you're telling me there is no way to put this on a Pana S1H?
Amazing review! Are you able to attach filters to the Sirui anamorphic and do you think it is needed? I'm thinking specifically Tiffen pro mist
You'd need the 72mm version
Tiffen warm black pro mist at 1/8 - 1/4 works well for me and cuts down on the blue flare saturation
Does the crop factor differ on these lenses since they are anamorphic? Also shooting video should you get the full frame version or just shoot in apsc ?
So you just turn on the crop mode on the 7III? I just got my 24mm and figuring it out!
Do you use diffusion filter on these shots ? They are amazing!
Thanks, I added some Gaussian blur to the highlights in post
great!! and i hv q! how come control focus ?
Now sirui need to release 1.8x for ff to get even more oval bokeh. Flares are fine on 1.333x. I mean 1.3 would be fine too on ff, just they could reduce focus breathing a bit
You may have a look on Great Joy 1.8X lense combo
Hey Brandon Amazing Stuff! My question is what aspect ratio did you finish in.
The aspect ratio once it is fully desqueezed in post is to 2:4:1
Tanks for the video
Nice video.. let me ask you.. I have a7iii as well.. but those sirui youre reffering... those are not full frame or am I wrong? Those are APS-C or not? Because if I want SIRUI 35mm full frame its like 1500 dollars.. those are just 700.. and i thought i can use only full frame lens on full frame camera which sony a7iii is.. thank you
Hey, so beautiful video
I'm assuming the vignetting on the 24mm of the spike ball is from the ND filter?
Great shots! Is this a manual or autofocus lens?
All manual
Why people dont like this lens? that look that it gives is amazing, well its not fit for a promotional video for a lawyer company, but for travels video, mini movie and stuff like that, its can be amazing.
hey brandon great vid! can I ask did you utilize promist filters for the automotive sequence at the start? wondering how you achieve diffusion & ND at the same time
I just don't like that they are all different sizes. They should've kept the same size, better for switching lens on a rig or gimbal.
Yes, 35mm is especially long and heavy. I tested it in my Crane 2s review and had trouble getting steady shots.
The flares look like your in the Marvel Avengers Movie
It looks like the flares are not leveled. I heard that was an issue with the other Sirui lenses.
hm ronin does not list sirui lenses as compatible ones..
Hi Brandon! Is there any chance could hold a short film competition, and as the winning prize grant access to your unscripted studios film academy?
Wishful thinking on my part.
Cooler Look..!
Good Vid. thanks.
1:06 He's enjpying this moment cuz he's feelin' like JJ Abrams.
Can you, and what are the downsides to using this APS-C lens on a A7SIII (full-frame)?
i love it!
I have an a7sIII and really wanted this lens to work, but even using the clear zoom function I had some slight vignetting on both left and right sides. I really wish Sirui would come up with an anamorphic lens that would be compatible with my camera. Brandon, I don't see any vignetting at all in your shots, did you crop them during post?
Yes these are not for full frame sensors. I used clear image soon and a7iii for most shots unless otherwise noted.
