The Sirui 50mm T2.9 Anamorphic 1.6x Lens for Canon RF-mount cameras is a remarkable lens designed to deliver cinematic quality with unique anamorphic characteristics. It is ideal for filmmakers looking to achieve a widescreen aesthetic and artistic bokeh. One of the standout features of this lens is its ability to create horizontal blue streaks when pointed at a light source, adding a dreamy or sci-fi effect to your footage. This anamorphic lens increases the horizontal angle of view by 60% compared to a standard 50mm spherical lens, making it equivalent to a 31mm lens in terms of field of view.

When used on full-frame cameras, this lens enables the camera to capture more of the scene from left to right, expanding the visual narrative. Footage shot in a 16:9 aspect ratio is de-squeezed to a 2.8:1 anamorphic format, or 2.4:1 when shooting in 3:2. The 50mm T2.9 Anamorphic Lens also features oval bokeh, a signature characteristic of anamorphic lenses, creating a beautifully distorted, abstract background that enhances the subject and adds visual interest. Its T2.9 aperture allows for a shallow depth of field, helping to isolate subjects from their surroundings.

This lens incorporates advanced German Schott optical glass and a super spectra coating for high-quality image clarity and color accuracy. With a 2.5-foot minimum focusing distance and 16 elements in 13 groups, it provides sharp focus throughout its range. The lens is constructed from durable aluminum alloy and features a 1/4″-20 female threading for added mounting versatility.
