MORE ADAPTERS! Sirui 1.25X Anamorphic Adapter Review 

audio??

This audio was 1.33 squeezed inside my brain , sounded like you were kidnapped by Sirui and forced to do this video

I would love to see an example using the SIRUI adapter on a Helios 44-2 with the oval bokeh mod. I'm thinking that might be an interesting combination.

As always. Thank you for the amazing content, man. You're my go-to anamorphic guru

Tito is a few months away from renaming the channel “Just rent the Atlas Lenses, gang.”

Thank you for this video! I've got one on the way.

1:13 - I'd actually argue it's the first time in ages that a small squeeze factor makes sense. 1.33x made a lot of sense when we wanted to convert 4:3 to 16:9, those times are over though. 1.33x on 16:9 always gave that super weird 2,36:1 aspect ratio; and no one who made modern anamorphics (which, I guess, started with the smartphone stuff) adjusted that to anything that made remotely sense. 1.35x however lands you exactly at 2,4:1 when shooting 16:9, which is obviously a more desired outcome. That said, even though I'm not a fan of lens-stacking like this, it doees make the Surui line a lot more appealing. Especially compared to the maybe-rear-anamorphic-GreatJoy. Lens length and weight are an issue though; my biggest gripe still is the f/2.8 aperture, even though they are all like that. On another note, I'll play the devils advocate: on 16:9, this little adapter grants you something like 2,22:1; which could be considered interesting judging by the 2:1 anamorphic stuff we see on streaming platforms. The format, after all, does grant some benefits especially if all your content will go on the web. And funny enough, my Fotga monitors always had the 1.25x anamorphic setting and I always asked them why they used this instead of something useful; they could see the future back then, haha

Yes. Thank you! I've been waiting for this video. I wish we could've seen more samples of the adapter on spherical lenses.

Hey, thanks for the great review! I have a few questions though and was wondering if you (or anyone) could give me your thoughts on this: I'm not a big fan of the Sirui look, especially the very strong and somewhat artificial looking flares. This adapter seems to add very little flares though (6:20). I thought about getting the Nanomorphs, but the 1.5x is a bit too subtle for my taste. Combining the Nanomorphs with another adapter, like the greatjoy 1,35x or this one would solve this. I wanted to get the amber flare version of the nanomorphs though and was wondering how much the subtle but still visible blue flares would interfere with the amber flaring of the lens itself. Any thoughts on this?

Since the full frame lenses crop with the adapter, would the E-Mount full frame lenses and the new Sony FX30 be a good combo if you’re going for 2x?

Thanks for another great detailed review. I picked up the 35mm and adapter during the indigogo campaign and already have the 50mm and 75mm. I have a short shoot coming up that I plan on using them. I'm really in love with the look of these lenses with and without the adapter. I did notice that the focus distance marks on the adapter aren't quite right, but I haven't gone into a deep dive test with them yet figure out where the discrepancy is.

I'm happy dealing with the weight of anamorphic adapters because I'm using the viltronix speed booster which is bolted to the case. This prevents the lever effect!

THANKSSSSSSA just looking a video to see if a buy this adapter right now

Hey Tito quick question, what sensor size would be the best for the 1.66 squeeze of the 1.25 and 1.33 combo for a 2.35:1 ratio? Just asking because of the weird squeeze factor, thanks!

Came to your video wondering why I was getting Vignette look when connecting a 24mm wide angle with the adapter. You nailed it....Was trying it on a sperical lens for the first time rather than a anamorphic

Thank you ! Have you tested the adapter with the sirui 35 mm 1.8 mft ?

Nice review mate

Could I add this to a Sigma 18-35mm? I can't find much about this adapter being used on modern spherical lenses.

Hey Tito! Love this video, it's crazy you released it just now because I was eyeing the adapter just last night. I'm trying to figure out which adapter will offer the most coverage for my 35mm full-frame lens. I don't mind cropping/correcting a little vignetting but would prefer not to crop a ton. You said this one covers 35mm but I wasn't sure if you were on full frame or not? Seems like this one can go the widest vs the great joy and the moment? Does either of those competitive adapters cover 35mm better? Doesn't necessarily have to do open gate but that would be a nice perk!

What about using 1.25x on the older Sirui 1.33x lenses?

is this also for apsc? I have a FX 30 and the Sirui 24mm would be my first anamorphic lens. I'd like a 2x look

What I love about this adapter: wonderful anamorphic character when paired with the 1.6x lenses! Constant squeeze! Achieves 2:66:1 aspect ratio without cropping when shooting in 4:3! I can now just push the "cinemascope" button in Davinci Resolve, and my footage is all de-squeezed without math! Focus ring feels good in hand! What I really don't like about this adapter: It can produce chromatic aberration which may have no artistic merit in many projects. It's really soft. Sometimes the softness could have a tasteful vintage feel, but I'm concerned it may just come across as kinda dull, wrong, or cheap looking.

Thanks for the great video, Tito, as usual. Love your relaxed delivery and your intelligent, always well-informed content. The only thing holding me back from buying one of these adapters is the 50mm and up limitation. All my lenses are spherical and in most productions, I'm going to use a 35mm or wider at one point or another. I sure would like to try out filming anamorphic in camera. I use a Canon C500 mark ii. Any recommendations for me? Thanks again, Tito. Great work.

Idea for a video: Image stabilization in lenses often works by having a floating element nearest to the camera sensor. That floating element is micro adjusted in the opposite direction to counteract the slight camera movements. A much more analog way is to have that floating element be suspended in a flexible corrigated rubber membrane such that it is loose enough that there's some lag time between camera body movements and lens element movement. I remember cell phone cameras used to advertise this back in the day. My idea: what if you could take a focal reducer (speed booster) or any kind of lens element that will slightly change the focus angle, and suspend it in an adapter. So you have analog image stabilization .

I'm also really curious about the moment adapter

Hi Tito! Can you make test this sirui anarmophic adapter on regular lens like canon 24-70mm 2.8 ii to let us know the result. Thanks before

Your thoughts on Moment's 1.33 anamorphic? Which adapter, at 1.33x, will work well with primes?

Hey again Tito! Watching this video again because I'm really tempted by this adapter, my only concern is that I want to use it with my laowa 35mm f.95...which sounds a bit absurd as its super fast. Do you think it would still be acceptably sharp? I generally like a softer vintage look but not so soft it looks out of focus lol

At what point do you just stack adapters at the front?

any benefit in using this adapter with the M43 1.33 anamorphic from Sirui?

Eaí Tito, como vai você? Parabéns mais uma vez pelo trabalho. É possível utilizar esse adaptador nas lentes sirui 1.33x? Se sim o resultado se compara a 1.5x para os sensores apsc ou não? Um grande abraço.

Thank you very much!!!

Would it be possible to stack 1.25x adapters on great joy 1.8x lens? What could that possibly look like?

nice video !!! Could I use this adapter with Sony A7VI sigma 35 1.4 DG DN ?

Can you use this adapter for vertically shoot ? making your frame 4:3 like size ? , if yes, i will buy it waiting for your response.

In the adapter brochure it´s says it works with the Sirui M4/3 lenses but given the resulting squeeze factor, does it really works? Have you test the adaptor on them?

What about the Moment adapter? Is it better or worst than this one? And maybe this is a very basic question, but: Do I loose autofocus with this adapters? Is possible to hve autofocus with this adapter or the moment one? Thanks mate, great channel!

Can I use this with the Sirui 75mm 1.8 Anamorphic X-Mount lens?

as usual. Great Video... I am in search of an "EF Mount" Full Frame Anamorphic Lens... do you have any suggestions...

It brings me joy that this Discord mod knows so much about anamorphic and shares it with us all

Is there an Anamorphic adapter that doesn't require camera operation in manual focus mode? So basically just put it on and still be able to retain all auto-focus while filming?

I'm very interested in this now that there are some better prices, but noticed someone complaining that it scratched their lens. Do you think that was just bad luck, or is there anything to beware of there? Thanks again for your excellent channel.

Optically which is sharper when used wide open, the Sirui 1.25x or Moment 1.33X?

I hate to leave a comment about a unrelated topic but I was wondering if you could answer a quick question about a previous adapter you’ve reviewed on the channel. Is he a good place or is there another way to reach you?

I'm wondering about using this adapter with Meike 25mm, 50mm, and 85mm APS-C lenses.

Are coverage issues likely with: Siru 1.25x -> Mamiya 645 -> Kipon 0.7x -> FF ?

17:9 sensor and a 1.25x adapter gets you close 2.35:1 very similar to what 1.33x does with a 16:9 sensor

is this compatible with the 1.33 lenses? Thank you!

Silly question for you. Can you stack anamorphic adapters? If I purchased two adapters what issues do I face there? Obviously, it would be better to just buy a lens that’s anamorphic at this point I’m jw

Do you use it on any small SIRUI 1.8 ?

Can it be mounted on non anamorphic lens?

Please review the FVD-24A, Vazen Variable Diopter, Aivascope 1.75x adapter, and Rapido RAM rehoused system

Did you notice a drop in sharpness while using the adapter on the 75mm?

I think the hard part is the narrow DOF, you can too easily go out of focus and that will make you look like a noob if you dont prep enough. Not a run and gun lens for sure, needs a lot of set up, prob gimbal and monitor to boot. It's gonna be heavy.

My friend bought this anamorphic adapter and were gonna mess around with it on a bunch of diffrent spherical lenses in New Orleans. Gonna throw it on my mitakon speedmaster lens My Helios 44 And my Micro four thirds sirui lens He's also gonna bring his sigma art zoom lens. Who knows how that's gonna look after watching this video.

So this won’t work with 24-70 RF L lens ?

Tarantino used 2.25x lenses

Nice .. was hoping to finally see how it performs with iscorama combo

wait could you stack multiple adapters?

You woke up the poor bats in the cave. :D

Yess! 😁😁😁

Cool video, but am I the only one that can't see any benefit to squeeze? It's adding more to the sides but compared to a wider lens you sacrifice top and bottom?

4:47 Minecraft Bokeh?

You seem a bit perturbed my friend…You probably have the most experience on RU-vid so don’t go anywhere… We need you. ❤

i cant continue watching this because of the audio

у тебя есть линза которая сжала простраство в х1.25 именно этот результат ты потом еще раз сжал в х1.65 а теперь включи свои мозги !

I like this channel but the voice fx is terribe.

Would it be possible to stack two 1.25x adapters on a spherical lens to get a ~1.6x squeeze? What could that possibly look like? 🫣
