Unbelievably beautiful image quality from the BMPCC4K and the Sirui 35mm combo. I've been researching new cameras for months and looking now at this footage I am really impressed. As content creators everybody has a different eye and perspective of what is most visually pleasing in a finished production. To me this checks all the boxes. Cheers!
I have always appreciated your work and your videos, Tom. As someone who owns the MFT version of the 35mm you do it proud! Your footage is very natural looking and captures/exemplifies the nature of a lens that I consider: "what if a Sigma 18-35mm and a SLR Magic Anamorphot 40 had a baby who didn't inherit the '18-' zoom' part? Since I have both I can attest that the complaints of the Sigma being "too clinically sharp" are muted by an adapter that by nature softens the image. "Congratulations Mrs. Jones, you have a new bouncing baby Surui 35mm!"
Very nice. I did notice a lot of camera shake in the video. I guess because you are going handheld without a gimbal. Thanks for the tutorial as always.
hola tom yo tengo la Canon R8 Fullframe pero ella tiene el factor de recorte 1x6, me quiero compara el SIRUI 35mm f1.8 1.33x anamorphic Cine Cinema Objetivo Lens Lenses Lente Modell S35(RF-Mount ¡que me aconsejas?
If you filmed on the P4k and the Sony. On the Sony will it do full frame or crop only? I have the MFT version and feel like I am missing out on more field of view than the E mount might have. I am getting an E mount converter on my Z Cam F6 when they are released so I'm trying to figure out if I should get the MFT or E mount version. If there is no benefit to getting one over the other then I would probably stick with the MFT mount just so my 50 will have a mate.
Tom I'm curious about something other than the anamorphic lens although this video is beautiful. I use my GH4 mostly for vlogging and I want the effect you have while you're explaining with the little lights on your couch that look faded out while you are in the foreground. I have a 14-44mm lens for my GH4 but I was looking at what lens I should get next to maybe help me get that effect. Maybe I am wasting money getting the sirui 35mm if im mostly shooting indoors.
I bought the 50mm MFT month ago and its amazing. I cant wait to get this one. 1.5x or 2x anamorphic would be nice in future. Im only guessing that next year 2021 it will be 12mm or 16mm. I wish. But definitly Im going this year for the 35mm.
You're actually get a 26mm FOV since it's an anamorphic. What it should be is at least 1.5x stretch so there's a lot more anamorphic character to it. 1.33x isn't enough.
I hope they start making 1.5x anamorphic. That would really push the envelope. 1.33x just isnt enough. Besides the aspect ratio and the flares, it really doesn't have much anamorphic characteristics to it. The bokeh isn't even oval so you don't get that cascading background. Don't get me wrong though, what they're doing is great but companies making anamorphic lenses should aim at getting the anamorphic look, not to get close to the cinemascope. 1.33x get's you there on a 16:9 but it sacrifices character. Having at least 1.5x stretch gets you anamorphic look but you'd be getting a 2:67 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor. It's a lot wider but it's still useable and it has more character too it. I'm really hope they start making 1.5x scopes
Very fine tutorial. What is it the size of uploaded video ? I'm managing test with BMPCC 2.7K anamorphic with standard lens but my video on YT I larger than your and with top & bottom black stripes. Did you crop video in editing? Thanks
None of that made any sense. It's a native M4/3 mount that can be converted to APSC if you mistakenly bought a Sony camera in the past. So just get a regular one for your BMPCC
I have both lenses and today I purchased a Sony a7c so I am looking forward to changing the ring and trying it out. My BMPCC 4K is incredible with either of these lenses. Thanks Tom for all your comments and advise.
You can see a few shots where I do a long focus pull like the last shot of the girl at night with city lights. Its typical focus breathing. Nothing that will ruin a shot
I was going to buy a tilta matte box because I saw the product review on youtube. then I saw lens flare and anamorphic, I wanted to get that item. just thinking about how the final setup will be.SIRUI anamorphic lens with matte box. ha ha
It looks very soft even on my color grading monitor. I have nothing against soft images but this footage here looks like out of focus sometimes but i know it's the lense. Distracting if you want to tell a story...
It's probably an f/1.8 manual focusing thing. To get that much of a falloff comes with working so wide open. Ted Forbes talks about this on his Lensday series at the Art of Photography
you know what pisses me off? TH-cam. I've been subbed to this channel then all of a sudden I'm not subbed and missing content. Anyhoo, thanks as always for the hard work you do Tom and sharing that information with us.
yeah youtube tends to do that more and more. Lots of channels that I subbed to and clicked the bell notifications on for no longer notify me of their videos
Great video Tom !! Since the 3.7K anamorphic mode on my bmdpcc6k is basically doing nothing i hope that one day Sirui wil bring anamorphic lenses with an EF-mount..
They are. They're going to do an EF cine set. There was a screenshot from a DM message they had with someone on Insta when the 50mm came out and they said then the 35mm was coming, and now it's here. They're staying true to their word. I'm waiting for the same thing!
Tom Antos Thanks Tom! I’ve just got this bad boy and ahlready loving it! I think it looks awesome wide open but people often want more sharpness.. idk why since 1.8 is more ”cinematic”

Awesome video!, Beautiful shots! I have the 50, and I can't wait until I can get my hands on the 35 (hoping that someday an EF mount version will come out)
I used to shoot Anamorphic Super 8 back in the day (Nikon R8 and Kowa Prominar 16H), this review sold me! Time to get one of these for my new GH5 and G9 👍 Especially since it is a Prime, no need to focus on two optics. The images are sharp, and at the same time buttery smooth, and the skin tones are rendered smooth, but then you are blessed with a beautiful model 🍷 Loved the Racoons too!
While I am not a fan of fairly established companies using Indiegogo to crowdfund new products, I may pull the trigger for this lens. It's the lens my GH5S has been waiting for! Beautiful imagery, Tom. Well done.
It was shot in 4kDCI will also work with UHD since its an anamorphic lens with 1.33x squeeze so you dont need to shoot in an anamorphic mode or camera. Any camera that shoots 16:9 aspect will produce the proper wide-screen once you desqueez it by 1.33x
Tom Antos Nice, yea I noticed it was super sharp and in 2.8 mode never really have seen super sharp images. Debating this or the vazen , decisions decisions

One question, if it is used on MFT with metabone speedbooster EF to MFT, is there any change in the field of view?
Hey just curious how much grading are you doing to this footage?
Hello here do you use the BMPCC 4K or the 6K G2 ? thanks
I bought the 50mm MFT month ago and its amazing. I cant wait to get this one.
1.5x or 2x anamorphic would be nice in future.
Im only guessing that next year 2021 it will be 12mm or 16mm. I wish.
But definitly Im going this year for the 35mm.
I think the next one they planned was supposed to be 85mm.
The images just look amazing, really like them. What about the minimal focus distance? Do you need diopters for macro shots?
It's about 2.5 feet minimal focus distance. For macro closeups you will need a diopter. Or I would actually prefer to use their 50mm lens
Tom Antos hmm ok. Thanks for that information. Really appreciate it. 👍😊
Nice! Just need to release a 28/1.8 version and it'll be the perfect kit.

Did you notice that the squeeze factor of 1.33 X was not consistent at infinity and minimum focusing distance?
If I get the Canon EF mount version and mount it to my BMPCC 4K w/ a speedbooster, will I have vignetting issues or anything like that?
From what i read is that these lenses are made for MFT (Bmpcc 4k) and sell adaptor rings for Sony, nikon, and canon.
None of that made any sense. It's a native M4/3 mount that can be converted to APSC if you mistakenly bought a Sony camera in the past. So just get a regular one for your BMPCC
What is a first music ? Thank's in avance
I have both lenses and today I purchased a Sony a7c so I am looking forward to changing the ring and trying it out. My BMPCC 4K is incredible with either of these lenses. Thanks Tom for all your comments and advise.
I like the look of the packet 4k
Hi.
Can I use it with Canon M6b mark II ?
Hi Tom, can you tell me if this lens works with Canon EOS R, canon c200 and BMPCC orignial ?
was this shot in 4k or anamorphic mode 2k ?
"Only" 700€ for this !? Let's go I need one
To me it's so crazy that they didn't make an adapter for Fuji X. They made a Nikon Z that has shorter flange distance. Come one Sirui!
Agreed. I have the 50mm which is awesome but that minimum focus distance is hooge
@@BrandonTalbot I can recommend getting a diopter. I got a +2 from b+w
Hey I dont mean to bother you but were did Gak Attack go? I know you guys were together awhile ago but do you know if hes coming back?

...What kind of matte box setup are you using with the Sirui lens?
I think its a Polar Pro matt box.
Wish they have a Full Frame one!
can i install this on a canon 80d?
Which brandoor did you use to cover your lens ?
yay! Thank you for the rack focus shot.
Will this work on my sony fs7?
did you stabilize footage in post ?
Love it! Did you use 1.8 through out or 2.8-4 for better sharpness?
Some is a bit closed down to 2.8 but most is wide open
Tom Antos Thanks Tom! I’ve just got this bad boy and ahlready loving it! I think it looks awesome wide open but people often want more sharpness.. idk why since 1.8 is more ”cinematic”

Awesome video!, Beautiful shots! I have the 50, and I can't wait until I can get my hands on the 35 (hoping that someday an EF mount version will come out)
is there good software to desquesse the pictures for someone who want to use an anamorphic lens for photography?
Photoshop? Image-> Image size -> and put the ammount of squeeze (in case of Sirui 133%) as the percentage for the width.
smart review...great job, informative, and entertaining...
Hey guys ! Quick question. I own a gh5 so what is the Full Frame equivalent of this 35mm on m4/3 ? Can't be 70mm right ?
Hi Tom
Do you think that since they make ef-m mount now if we use an EF-M to EF adapter would it work on BMPCC 6K ?
You cannot use efm lenses on ef mount because of the flange distance. Only vice versa is possible.
I used to shoot Anamorphic Super 8 back in the day (Nikon R8 and Kowa Prominar 16H), this review sold me! Time to get one of these
for my new GH5 and G9 👍 Especially since it is a Prime, no need to focus on two optics.
The images are sharp, and at the same time buttery smooth, and the skin tones are rendered smooth, but then you are blessed with a beautiful model 🍷
Loved the Racoons too!
How you remove the wheels ?
Hopefully they are going to release it for Fuji too
Shall v use these sirui lenses for DSLR and Mirror less!?
They are only available for mirrorless until now.
Lenses for mirrorless do not work for DSLRs because of the much shorter flange distance.
@@uweinhamburg thanks for reply brother...
Hey great review ! How did you adapt an e-mount lens to the Blackmagic 4K?

Tom Antos thanks for your answer! I just had my hopes up and thought there was a way to adapt e-mount to Blackmagics ^^
Is the 35 only available in M4/3 on the indiegogo page or am I missing something?
No. There are other mounts. Check their opinions
Tom Antos checked. There is E-mount, x-mount, and m4/3. Under both early bird and super early bird for the 2lens combo

@@TomAntos thanks
If I am going to spend money to shoot anamorphic, I want it to be really good anamorphic. The Suiri lenses just don't look all that cinematic. Probably mostly because it's only 1.33x. I'm not going to buy an Anamorphic lens until I can afford one that's at least 1.8x, and very high quality
and they are slightly out of focus
What camera are you using with this?
Mostly pocket 4k and a little Sony a6600
Anamorphic is spelled wrong in your tags btw, just a heads up
Looks lovely. I hope to see a x2 stretch released by them.
Sirui could become anamorphic market leaders, if they keep at this.
Thanks for vid. I purchased products in the past based on your recommendation. Will this work on the Canon EOS R?
Maybe with the 4K crop! But it’s not a full frame lens. Saying that there’s no way to mount it to RF anyway.
If the scene is cinematic in front of the camera, it's much easier to make it look cinematic with or without anamorphic lens
