Shooting with the Sirui Anamorphic Lenses
The Sirui set is the most accessible way to shoot genuine anamorphic. Four focal lengths — 24, 35, 50 and 75mm — in Sony E mount, giving a 33% wider horizontal field and a 2.4:1 frame out of a 16:9 sensor. You get real anamorphic characteristics, oval bokeh and horizontal flares included, at a rental rate that suits music videos, shorts and indie narrative rather than only studio features.
These cover Super 35 and APS-C rather than full frame, so check your sensor mode. We will confirm the combination when you book.
Sirui Anamorphic Lenses Rental FAQs
Is this real anamorphic or a filter effect?
Real anamorphic. The lenses optically squeeze the image, which is what produces the oval bokeh and horizontal flares — no post trickery involved.
What camera do I need for these?
A Sony E-mount body shooting in Super 35 or APS-C mode. Tell us what you are using and we will confirm the setup before you shoot.
