Great innovation so hands off to them but they need to create an 1.5x or higher so anamorphic characters are a lot more pronounced. If they do that and keep the price at a relatively low cost, that would really disrupt the market. Right now, the only anamorphic lens fairly new, thats 1.5x, and single focus is the aivascope 1.5x. That lens is great but it’s almost $3k. If they can make a 1.5x that’s even 1/3rd of that price, I bet prices of older scopes would start to go down.
If they come out with a 1.75 or even 2x anamorph then sign me up. BTW that was a serious over load of cuteness there little doggy and all. Cheers to you and your wonderful family and for hanging around TH-cam for all these years.
I just got my 50mm Sirui Anamorphic yesterday. My first thought was, "Gee, I wish there was a 35mm one". Then I saw this video on my YT homepage. Suffice it to say, I paid for it. They say it ships in September 2020. Which will be nice. I've started shooting test footage with the 50mm. And I really like it so far. At full open, I like the sharpness as its not too sharp or digital-like. So, I'm looking forward to the 35mm.
@@husainfoolath4287 35mm is 35mm. I assume you're talking about full-frame equivalent calculations for better comparison, in which case it's a little more complicated than for a spherical lens. As far as the general physics and vertical plane go, it's the normal crop factor for that sensor size - so two times for MFT = 70mm. However, on the horizontal plane, you obviously fit in more image information mit anamorphic when you desqueeze it. So, it gets wider by the nominal anamorphic factor (i.e. 1.33x). So, on the horizontal plane, it would cover a field of view equivalent to slightly more than 50mm.
Everybody else talking about A7sIII batman skills and R5 true burning logs (to put in a nice fireplace) and Caleb in a cool lounge talking about anamorphic lens, FP and old vintage cameras and taking a cold drink.
I think it’s because you can’t do a traditional 2.0x squeeze on 16:9 sensors because once you desqueeze they’d be comically wide. You have to have a 4:3 ratio built into the camera sensor/software to get a useable image, and not all cameras have that function in the target price range. 1.33 has just enough of the look to set it apart from standard lenses, but only to a trained eye rather than a casual viewer
Chase Stine not necessarily. the BMPCC4K has a 17:9 sensor and in a recent firmware they incorporated a 4:3 anamorphic mode by simply cropping the middle 4:3 area of the sensor. even if you use a 2x scope on a 16:9 sensor, that would yield a 3.55:1 final image which you can still crop down to 2.39 or 2:4.1. I have 1.5x scopes that work great with my 16:9 cameras resulting in a 2.67:1 that I can easily crop to 2.39/2.40 without losing much. anyways, I think it’s great that a company like Sirui is working hard to churn out these anamorphic lenses and hopefully more companies will do that. for now, i’ll be here in my corner tinkering with my DIY solutions 😆
Carlo Timothy in my ignorance I always forget how many awesome features the BMPCC has. There’s a lot of solutions to the big squeeze of anamorphic, most I didn’t even know till you replied. After all us said and done I think sirui is just like “you want Anamorphic? Here is the most simple/cheap way to get it”. Thanks for the info on the 2x squeeze!
Love your stuff. Great video as always but that color difference is a total deal breaker. The whole point of having a 'family' of cine/video lenses is consistency from lens to lens across the entire focal length range. Even cheap-o Rokinon Cine DS lenses have maintain a very consistent look across the entire line. They're not anamorphic I realize, but aside from the additional width, these seem to lack many of the characteristics of a proper anamorphic lens.
Yo man, been watching you on and off for quite some years now, and I must say it's been a while, but the quality of your videos have improved greatly 👌 not a lens for me, but still kept my interest. Have a great day :)
That lens is for 4:3 aspect ratio, so a full frame camera would have to be set to crop mode. Would be nice if Sirui made made a version for full frame 16:9 aspect ratio (Nikon z6 4k).
2 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Yep, exactly my case. But I am eager to try this on my z6s anyway :)
I really hope in the newer batch of lenses both 50 and 35 are the same color, otherwise it makes it almost impossible to buy a set of those just to have each of your shots have different colors just because you changed focal lengths.
They need to have a Fuji X adapter imo. I'd order it today if they had it. I have the 50mm and I really like it. I have a B+W +2 diopter for mine for better close focus.
Not a fan personally of the 1.3x just doesn't create enough anamaorphic characteristics imo. I still prefer using actual projection x2 lenses. Not only is the flare better but the imperfections and slightly softer image really works.
Presumably they worked out it was a lot cheaper to make one version, m43, and just provide adaptors for other formats, than make multiple versions. (They also don't get stuck if one version sells poorly.)
Going forward I think we need 2x, not 1.33x. Yes, these lenses are /amazing/ and I love them as a option, but the Anamorphic look is already subtle enough without reducing it further. You always hear "oh but the image is too wide with a 2x on a 16:9 sensor, and you lose pixels when you crop the sides off!" which is true, but mathematically there is actually zero difference between having a 4:3 sensor in your camera already /or just cropping the 16:9 sensor in post/. You get the same result. If anything, having an unnecessarily wide image before cropping means you can re-frame the image if it's a little off, which can actually save shots. A lot of Hollywood movies are shot in Anamorphic 2.66:1 to leave room for re-framing, and cropped to 2.39:1 for final output. We just need camera settings or external monitors with the preview option "desqueeze & crop" so you can actually see what the final 2.39:1 image is eventually going to look like while working on set with a 2x lens on a 16:9 sensor. Heck, you could even offer an option to see a 2.76:1 preview, just in case people really want to use some of that extra image being captured on the sides. That's not even an option with 1.33x! I dunno, it's weird to be getting affordable real anamorphics and still somehow miss out on the real anamorphic look...
Yess. I've been playing around with a SLR Magic 1.33x Anamorphot on a 14mm lumix lens (~30mm effective). Which has been working OK. Having to align the adapter and having two separate focus rings is a hassle though. Might swap the setup for this.
Great review man. I don't see myself using these two lenses in their current state but i'm eager to see where they go with this concept. I would like at least x1.5 anamorphic and larger censor coverage. Maybe throw in some more cine lens features like fixed metal tooth focus and aperture gears etc. while keeping the price decently low and these could sell like hell.
Just backed up the campaign and I’m really curious to start shooting with this new lens. Thanks for the review and hopefully they will bring us even more interesting lenses in the near future.
I have a question here: when 1.33 times 3:2 (sensor ratio), it's 1.995, not 2.4. How do you calculate the number 2.4 after stretching? If 1.33 times 16:9 (video ratio), it's 2.36, is this what you mean by 2.4? I've never used an anamorphic lens before. I'm just confused. Thank you.
As a Fuji shooter who funded the first 50mm lens on indiegogo, I'm beyond a little disappointed that they don't have X mount support on this version. The fact that all other mounts offered are simply the MFT mount with screw on adapters kind of indicates to me that this version doesn't have the same care and engineering dedicated to it as the original 50mm did. And this would also explain the lack of an X mount since those have a very different flange distance from other systems and would require a much bulkier adapter. While I have a Fringer EF to X adapter which could work, I'm still inclined take a pass on this after they blatantly decided to snub their existing X-mount customers as a matter of convenience.
Wonderful. You tested diopters to get closer… did you try an extension ring? Same drawback; you lose infinity… but no extra glass to mess up the image. But maybe those don’t work with anamorphic?
I really dont understand why everyone wants those flares. Not trying to hate on people like it okay every once in awhile but everyone thinks it's "cinematic" when in reality it's just distracting. I dig the wider fov with longer lenses but the flares ruin it for me. This is a bandwagon I'm going to avoid lol.
I love my 50mm and got up early to buy one today... BUT just realized it's not available for the x-mount (I didn't pay any attention to the ads/emails before because I love the 50mm so much I was ready to just throw money at it!) Bummed and will have to wait more until they make one for the Fuji.
Caleb, great video, thanks. I got an alert from B&H just now-they have one of their "Deal Zones" happening with this lens, and it's only $499 USD. This is a genuine bargain, I feel.
The reason one lens looks warmer than the other is because its a F-stop lens.T-stop is better they will be evenly matched at any stop thats the reason this lens is probably cheaper.this is why i prefer T-stops but iam still going to pick this lens up along with the 50mm for my bmpcc4k.
I don’t understand why have this lens if the background is barely stretched and the look is pretty much the regular lens. Nothing anamorphic in it at all
i'm thinking the same. It looks like a wider lens just cropped from the top and bottom to match the ratio. Limiting you to only a f1.8 and you loose that data, that you can use to maybe show a bit more on top or bottom. You can that nice line flare thou.
@@TackJorrance Well yes you are compressing pixels but this way you still lose data. Because when you combine 2 pixels into 1, that's it, you can't revert the process.You can't magically now the exact values that were in those 2 pixels. And this one is even worse, you loose 1.33px so it's not a perfect fit on a binary level. Bug hey, flares look nice, right ?
@@ShazammtheProducer ulanzi phone lens looks more anamorphic then that. haha. I agree with the gang, Sirui lens doesnt have any anamorphic look besides the flare, rather put a fishing line to fake a flare then spend so much cash.
I think sirui should release full frame equivalent. 1.33 is not super squeezed but for indie movie with anamorphic look I think it would be kinda enough. Would be nice if they release 1.5 version of squeeze though it is not standart, but closer to 2x and who cares to remove a bit pixels as most used with 16:9 to make 2.35:1
This looks like a cool lens but 1.33 is just not enough for me. I guess if you want really subtle, this is great. But 1.5 and 2 are more true to the anamorphic look
Something I would love to know is whether shooting anamorphic gives you a wider angle while giving you the same depth perception (not depth of field, but the perceived distance between the foreground and background) or whatever that's called. Do you think you could compare this lens to a normal 35mm and see if they look like the frame looks equally deep on them or if one looks deeper than the other? I've found no comparisons like that on the Internet so you'd be the first I think! Haha anyway great video!
@@mindmeldlearning8497 I'm not talking about depth of field, so blurriness of background and subject separation, but about angle of view vs how far away the background looks in the image, or how compressed the image looks. So why I'm asking is for filming shots of my city where you get a naturalistic wide angle of view, kind of how your eyes see the world, but with a natural depth to the image. Not depth of field, but actual depth, the distance between foreground and background so that it looks more like it does in real life, and not the exaggerated depth you get from normal wide-angle spherical lenses where everything looks much farther away than it actually is.
One major, but seldom understood, advantage of an anamorphic lens, in my opinion is the extra compression for the same field of view. Normally, I'd have to choose between the field of view of a 25mm lens, or the more flattering compression of facial features offered by a 35mm (~70mm on MFT, so portrait lens territory). This anamorphic means I can have the best of both: the compression, of a 35mm but with the a (horizontal) field of view equivalent to a ~25mm lens.
@@johannestornquist ok, yes, anamorphics give you same the same depth perception as spherical glass but obviously you get either 33% or 100% more width from them hence 1.33 and 2.0 for the different stretch factors
Great review mate! Mine should be here this week to review! Keen to try it on the pocket 4k so I can get more resolution out of the sensor in full 4:3 at 75fps!
Watching this video after I got it for Black Friday at $400 saving more money than the backers and getting it in 3 days.... I understand why backing a project is dope but I've been burnt too many times by company doing shady shit. Just wait 2 years and get it for an even better deal.
I'm sending back my 50mm back to the rental house after having it for a week. It's completely worth it. Great build and a lot of fun with the 50mm and cant wait to try the 35mm.
I have a Metabones Canon EF to MFT on my BMPCC4K! I love my 50mm, and the 35mm is going to be fantastic. As you could've guessed, I have a Sigma 18-35 for this rig too. With the metabones, my crop factor is reduced to 1.42x I believe. I saw that there is a Canon EF-M adapter, but is there any way to make this work with the Metabones correctly since both are supportive of APS-C? Thank you!
I'm in the same boat with my GH5s, just ordered this lens today with the additional EF-M mount, if no one has answered this by September, shoot me a message to remind me to answer your question.
Visual Theory Films I looked into it, seems like the distance in the lens internals messes up the focus. Seems like EF-M is exclusive to super compact mirrorless stuff, so it’ll look fuzzy. Generally seems like EF-M does NOT match compatibility with standard Canon stuff. But you could put og EF lenses on an EF-M body with a Canon adapter, EF to EF-M
Cale, thanks for the great video. You mention you've used other anamorphic adapters in the video... can you list a couple of them? Also, I'm wondering how well this lens will work with the Sony a7s III.
The R5 has an APS video option that makes 4k from 5.2k, which would be great, but the flange distances of the mounts differ by only 0.75mm, so I assume you're out of luck...
Caleb, I've got a small home studio that's 11x11 and I think an anamorphic RF mount lents is a good choice. My only concern is the fact that its manual focus and I do a lot of talking head videos; going in and out of focus is something very real for me. Would you STILL recommend it?
@@comptoirdugeek7213 If the play can affect its use, focus and aperture movement, focus/aperture pulling, image horizon, stability, resale value, then yes. If reviewers are claiming there is no play, and then the production release, there is play, then it is an issue. The price of the Sirui may be cheap in respect to Anamorphic lenses, but 700-800 USD is still alot of money especially during these times. If I paid for a brand new automatic car where I am forced to drive it like a manual, then it would bother me :)
Great skin colors... Are you shooting V-log L or are you doing another picture profile on the GH5S? My skin tones always end up so red and purple with V-Log
Thanks for this review. One thing though, I hit the link you had for the Diopter, and ordered it thinking it would work with this lens. It turns out its a 77mm diaopter, and I believe the lens has a 67mm filter thread. It doesn't seem there is a SLR Magic Achromatic Diopter +1.8 in a size that would fit the 35mm Sirui lens. If that is the one you use, is there some kind of adapter or something that I am missing? (Also, as I look closer at the video, I see a 72mm size on something so now I am even more confused). Sorry for the long question. Thanks.
Your talking head shot looks fantastic, Caleb!
Just ordered! Good job putting your video out when they asked people to! Bet that is hard to wait! As always, stellar review.
Currently trying to convince myself that I'd get paid more if I use these.......

With all the manufacturers making full frame cameras now I'd love to see a larger format version of these in the future
This!
Lol, that'd cost a fortune.
The full frame cameras ought to be able to crop in for movie lenses like this one, PL mount lenses, etc

hope they do a 2x one day. IMHO, 1.33.x just doesn’t have that look that 1.5x, 1.75x, and 2x give. great review tho sir. I appreciate you
Yeah same here. I feel like with 1.33x you might as well be using anamorfake mod or something like that and it will be pretty much the same

The reason one lens looks warmer than the other is because its a F-stop lens.T-stop is better they will be evenly matched at any stop thats the reason this lens is probably cheaper.this is why i prefer T-stops but iam still going to pick this lens up along with the 50mm for my bmpcc4k.
Thanks Caleb 👍 and congrats to the two so cute little actors !!! 👏 👏 👏
Warmly 😉
I don’t understand why have this lens if the background is barely stretched and the look is pretty much the regular lens. Nothing anamorphic in it at all
i'm thinking the same. It looks like a wider lens just cropped from the top and bottom to match the ratio. Limiting you to only a f1.8 and you loose that data, that you can use to maybe show a bit more on top or bottom.
You can that nice line flare thou.
its not a 2X its a 1.33x thats why
Shazamm the iPad Producer of course. But it’s the tech specs nobody cares about. The visuals simply have no anamorphic character
@@TackJorrance Well yes you are compressing pixels but this way you still lose data. Because when you combine 2 pixels into 1, that's it, you can't revert the process.You can't magically now the exact values that were in those 2 pixels. And this one is even worse, you loose 1.33px so it's not a perfect fit on a binary level.
Bug hey, flares look nice, right ?
@@ShazammtheProducer ulanzi phone lens looks more anamorphic then that. haha. I agree with the gang, Sirui lens doesnt have any anamorphic look besides the flare, rather put a fishing line to fake a flare then spend so much cash.
It would be great if it didn't have the blue cast color to it. If they could get it to be a warmer tone. I would jump on this.
I think sirui should release full frame equivalent. 1.33 is not super squeezed but for indie movie with anamorphic look I think it would be kinda enough. Would be nice if they release 1.5 version of squeeze though it is not standart, but closer to 2x and who cares to remove a bit pixels as most used with 16:9 to make 2.35:1
This looks like a cool lens but 1.33 is just not enough for me. I guess if you want really subtle, this is great. But 1.5 and 2 are more true to the anamorphic look
I agree, especially having a m4/3 mount ... 1.33 would’t make it enough wide on m4/3 sensors!
Something I would love to know is whether shooting anamorphic gives you a wider angle while giving you the same depth perception (not depth of field, but the perceived distance between the foreground and background) or whatever that's called.
Do you think you could compare this lens to a normal 35mm and see if they look like the frame looks equally deep on them or if one looks deeper than the other?
I've found no comparisons like that on the Internet so you'd be the first I think! Haha anyway great video!
usually anamprophic gives you less depth so things further distances apart are more out of focus, thats the 3d effect
@@mindmeldlearning8497 I'm not talking about depth of field, so blurriness of background and subject separation, but about angle of view vs how far away the background looks in the image, or how compressed the image looks.
So why I'm asking is for filming shots of my city where you get a naturalistic wide angle of view, kind of how your eyes see the world, but with a natural depth to the image. Not depth of field, but actual depth, the distance between foreground and background so that it looks more like it does in real life, and not the exaggerated depth you get from normal wide-angle spherical lenses where everything looks much farther away than it actually is.
One major, but seldom understood, advantage of an anamorphic lens, in my opinion is the extra compression for the same field of view. Normally, I'd have to choose between the field of view of a 25mm lens, or the more flattering compression of facial features offered by a 35mm (~70mm on MFT, so portrait lens territory). This anamorphic means I can have the best of both: the compression, of a 35mm but with the a (horizontal) field of view equivalent to a ~25mm lens.
@@johannestornquist ok, yes, anamorphics give you same the same depth perception as spherical glass but obviously you get either 33% or 100% more width from them hence 1.33 and 2.0 for the different stretch factors
@@mindmeldlearning8497 ah just what I wanted to know, thank you! :D
I love your test footage!
want to see way more footage especially compared to a regular 35mm
Great review mate! Mine should be here this week to review! Keen to try it on the pocket 4k so I can get more resolution out of the sensor in full 4:3 at 75fps!
This makes me so happy that it's MFT. Gonna get BMPCC4k soon! Lots of lens choices :)
How can I use this on 6k
Yes, amazing! Just put in my order, thanks for enabling me.
damnit i just bought the 50mm hasn't even made it to my house yet
Watching this video after I got it for Black Friday at $400 saving more money than the backers and getting it in 3 days....
I understand why backing a project is dope but I've been burnt too many times by company doing shady shit. Just wait 2 years and get it for an even better deal.
Great to see the comparison, cheers:)
finally !!!! thank for the video !!
I prefer the slightly cooler look of the 50. Now let's hope they'll do a 28/1.8 as well.
I'm sending back my 50mm back to the rental house after having it for a week. It's completely worth it. Great build and a lot of fun with the 50mm and cant wait to try the 35mm.
thanks for review, I'm waiting fot that now
Nice review, could you upload a video in the original aspect ratio please?
Good video. Have you also reviewed the Sirui 24mm?
Looks incredible!
This made me want the 50mm instead, thanks for the heads up
I have a Metabones Canon EF to MFT on my BMPCC4K! I love my 50mm, and the 35mm is going to be fantastic. As you could've guessed, I have a Sigma 18-35 for this rig too. With the metabones, my crop factor is reduced to 1.42x I believe. I saw that there is a Canon EF-M adapter, but is there any way to make this work with the Metabones correctly since both are supportive of APS-C? Thank you!
I'm in the same boat with my GH5s, just ordered this lens today with the additional EF-M mount, if no one has answered this by September, shoot me a message to remind me to answer your question.
Would it be possible to mount this on a BMPCC6K using the EF-M?
Rando Reviews Thanks man I appreciate it! I’ll remind myself
Visual Theory Films I looked into it, seems like the distance in the lens internals messes up the focus. Seems like EF-M is exclusive to super compact mirrorless stuff, so it’ll look fuzzy. Generally seems like EF-M does NOT match compatibility with standard Canon stuff. But you could put og EF lenses on an EF-M body with a Canon adapter, EF to EF-M
@@DeanMilan do you know it there are EF-M to EF adapters out there?
Cale, thanks for the great video. You mention you've used other anamorphic adapters in the video... can you list a couple of them? Also, I'm wondering how well this lens will work with the Sony a7s III.
Great video man! Wish they made an L mount adapter for the lens! Btw are you gonna do a S1h review or s1?
I can't seem to find an adapter to mount this on a canon RF body... Planning to get R5 and I assume that this lens will pair well with that camera...
The R5 has an APS video option that makes 4k from 5.2k, which would be great, but the flange distances of the mounts differ by only 0.75mm, so I assume you're out of luck...
Two beautiful kids in your video! The lens is great too, but the kids are cuties!
Sweet lens, and thanks for the diopter trick?Btw that is also know as a close-up filter right?
Gonna get those mounts!
Why do I feel like I really need this.
Caleb, I've got a small home studio that's 11x11 and I think an anamorphic RF mount lents is a good choice. My only concern is the fact that its manual focus and I do a lot of talking head videos; going in and out of focus is something very real for me. Would you STILL recommend it?
Thanks men🤘🏻🔥
Hi Caleb, the 35mm Sirui you used in your review, did you mount that on your m43 camera and did you notice any play on the lens mount? Thank you.
everyone asks themselves this question :) and does it really bother you when we make a video?
@@comptoirdugeek7213 If the play can affect its use, focus and aperture movement, focus/aperture pulling, image horizon, stability, resale value, then yes. If reviewers are claiming there is no play, and then the production release, there is play, then it is an issue. The price of the Sirui may be cheap in respect to Anamorphic lenses, but 700-800 USD is still alot of money especially during these times. If I paid for a brand new automatic car where I am forced to drive it like a manual, then it would bother me :)
@@therenderer4726 I hope it's not a problem and it's just a bad series...
exelent video👏👏👏 as always.
Caleb, as usual awesome video. My 6 year old watched it along with me and wants to know your pet's name. She didn't leave till I leave this comment 😂
I'd love to see this on a a7S III !
not possible
Great skin colors... Are you shooting V-log L or are you doing another picture profile on the GH5S? My skin tones always end up so red and purple with V-Log
Thanks for this review. One thing though, I hit the link you had for the Diopter, and ordered it thinking it would work with this lens. It turns out its a 77mm diaopter, and I believe the lens has a 67mm filter thread. It doesn't seem there is a SLR Magic Achromatic Diopter +1.8 in a size that would fit the 35mm Sirui lens. If that is the one you use, is there some kind of adapter or something that I am missing? (Also, as I look closer at the video, I see a 72mm size on something so now I am even more confused). Sorry for the long question. Thanks.
Will they release a full frame?
I only got the 50 last week.
I'm worried that I'll put my money down for the 35 and they'll immediately release something new
Man, I hope they make an EF mount!!!
We need better adapters for m4/3 to E-mount. The only ones I’ve been able to find(the ones pictured in the video) are incredibly bad.
