Description

Because capturing the essence of cinematic visuals is paramount for filmmakers, the Sirui 35mm & 100mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic Lens Kit with 1.25x Adapter for Canon RF offers a comprehensive solution for achieving that widescreen, anamorphic look. This kit includes two distinct focal lengths: a 35mm lens that provides a wide field of view equivalent to a 22mm lens on a full-frame sensor, ideal for expansive shots of architecture, landscapes, and interior spaces; and a 100mm lens that excels in creating a shallow depth of field, producing stunning oval bokeh and pronounced background compression, perfect for portrait, sports, wedding, and wildlife photography.The versatility of this lens kit is further enhanced by the inclusion of four focal lengths, allowing filmmakers to capture a project from various angles without compromising on visual consistency. The full-frame anamorphic lenses in this lineup deliver a 1.6x squeeze, which is increasingly sought after in high-end productions for its ability to expand the horizontal field of view and introduce classic anamorphic characteristics.When it comes to aspect ratios, this lens kit is highly adaptable. Shooting in a 3:2 format yields a cinematic 2.4:1 aspect ratio, while using a 16:9 sensor results in an even wider 2.8:1 aspect ratio. This flexibility is invaluable in post-production, where footage can be cropped to the desired aspect ratio without losing the anamorphic charm. With most modern monitors and cameras supporting 1.6x de-squeeze, this kit aligns seamlessly with current industry standards.The cinematic look is within easy reach as these lenses are designed to produce those signature blue lens flares when hit with a light source. The 1.6x squeeze ratio elongates the bokeh, giving it a unique, slender appearance, and at 100mm T2.9, the shallow depth of field isolates the subject, imbuing your footage with an artistic, aesthetic quality.Both lenses boast a uniform barrel construction, featuring a T2.9 to T16 aperture range, identical gear positions for ease of use with follow focus systems, an 82mm filter thread for attaching various filters, a 1/4" threaded hole for mounting options, and clearly marked metric and imperial focus scales. Their compact design ensures they are both portable and lightweight, with the lightest lens in the lineup weighing just 930g/2lbs.The included 1.25x Anamorphic Adapter is a game-changer, transforming spherical lenses into anamorphic ones or enhancing the squeeze ratio of existing anamorphic lenses. This adapter pays homage to the classic 1.25x squeeze factor utilized by iconic anamorphic lenses, such as those from Panavision. It not only increases the horizontal field of view by 25% but also allows for a 2x squeeze when paired with the 1.6x anamorphic lenses, accentuating anamorphic characteristics and providing more framing options in post-production.The adapter is designed with wide compatibility in mind, featuring an 82mm rear thread and including step-down and step-up rings to fit a variety of popular lenses. Its compact size and light weight make it an unobtrusive addition to any filmmaker\'s kit. With the ability to set the base lens to infinity and focus solely using the adapter, it offers a constant squeeze ratio throughout the focusing range, ensuring your subjects remain distortion-free.In summary, the Sirui 35mm & 100mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic Lens Kit with 1.25x Adapter for Canon RF is an essential collection for filmmakers and videographers looking to infuse their work with the anamorphic allure and flexibility that only high-quality lenses can provide.
