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

This has very quickly become my favorite lens. It's a tiny soft when you're shooting with it wide open, but otherwise it'a very sharp, delivers a clean, beautiful image, flares super nicely, and has very clean bokek! It makes me want to get the other lenses in the set!

I love this lens. Even though it's just 1.33x, you get all the anamorphic qualities you know and love. Personally, I wish there was more barrel distortion cause I like that look, but for those who love a clean image, there's very little distortion. Built like a tank, absolutely great.

An amazing lens. it is my first manual focus and first anamorphic lens. Please make sure that you correct the lens information in your camera and turn on focus peeking. i wish the blue flare was little stronger.

i would give it 5 star , but when i tried to mount it on BMCC MFT camera, it was very stiff to connect.i sent mail to Sirui, with video and explenation , wait for solution, i will update when i have one.I wrote SIRUI support, and they assisted me very quickly , they sent me a new adaptor with screws and evena scewdriver. i replced it and now it is not stiff , and works great.very good customer support.

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!

It is hard to describe what I'm feeling after using this lens for some time. Probably expected more than I get, so a bit disappointed with it. It is a good lens for M4/3, decently sharp and feels nice in hands. But anamorphic effect is so negligible... 1.33x format is just not enough, especially on close focusing distances, oval bokeh is nonexistent. It has blue strikes, but in most cases they're just annoying, especially for nature daylight shots. This lens just looks like any other lens, nothing special.

I purchased this lens for a different perspective for landscape stills with a Canon M6 Mk2. I am still experimenting and evaluating but so far I am impressed with color rendering and sharpness. It is not "razor" sharp but then it is not intended to be. It just has a nice even consistency across the frame. Think of a Zeiss lens "pop" with a matte finish.I would knock off a half a star for the mount replacement which is another issue.

Ordered the mf3 mount option, Build quality feels very good, but didn’t get the chance to try it yet! Because I was trying to mount it to my Bmpcc 4k and it was very stiff, tried also with another bmpcc 4k that I own and still stiff!!! Never faced that kind of issue before with any lens. I will not force to mount this lens anymore as it might damage the camera connections. I’ve contacted sirui customer services and still waiting for an answer! Hopefully they will get back to me asap with positive answers. I presume it works as advertised it will be a great value of money.
