Sirui 75mm f/1.8 1.33X Anamorphic Lens: Last of the Set! 

same here :)

You're not the first one to say this here in the comments. Interesting argument.

I don't remember it by heart, but my review certainly covers it. :)

The only lens that can be mount-swapped is the 35mm.

Great question, and yeah, you can intercut them with spherical easily. Don't worry about it! :)

@@AnamorphicOnABudget thanks so much!! Follow up question...are there any considerations one has to make re: frame rate and shutter speed? For example, shooting at 120? Thank you again Tito!

Not for lens matching! Just keep your shutter angle at 180 and you'll be good! :)

@@AnamorphicOnABudget thanks 🙏🏻

There are no Sirui with EF mount, so no. They don't make L mount, but MTF services does. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UFI-Ri6JvsM.html

A man with a plan! And a good one!

24mm for me has been the most versatile because it does wide shots and medium shots well, also the closer focusing distance is very nice. If you have both the 50 and 75 I imagine you still wanna keep that F1.8 aperture tho. I’m actually trying to decide whether I want the 50 or the 75 to accompany my 24.

@@CamiloMaster10 Think I’m going to go with the 24mm for the versatility. The f-stop I’m fine with. Think that’ll be a great set.

Yes, you can use it for photography as well! :D

Yes, APS-C only. Their full frame lens is going on crowdfunding soon. I use Panasonic, and that's what I always recommend for anamorphic.

No.

Thank you Afotey! I should start working on my campaign then. hahaha ;)

That's an excellent question! They haven't gone back in their decision there. The 35mm is the odd one out in the set.

You can get an RF version from MTF Services.

I think 35/75 is the way to go. the 35 is the strongest one, and both the 50 and 24mm have some stylistic choices I don't love.

@@AnamorphicOnABudget i ordered the 35 and 75.

As long as you get the MFT version of this lens I don't see why it wouldn't.

Gerald is correct. I've had the other ones fit on a Z-Cam F6 using the MFT mount.

@@GeraldBertramPhotography Thanks !

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thanks !

It won't cover full frame.

Thanks

I found one for 279 believe it or not. E-mount also

@@LiquidLoungeVIP wow that’s an excellent deal

Stay tuned! You might get all you're asking for. ;)

RF and L not being there always surprises me...

No. The lens simply squeezes the pixels that are already there by whatever factor the lens is. 1.33x in this case. When you desqueeze, you aren't creating more pixels, just desqueezing the ones that were squished by the lens.

There is no interpolation happening, but the lens squeezes the light onto the square pixels of the sensor. So now you have footage with square pixels, but they really do not want to be square - since they have been squeezed into that shape. So in post we desqueeze the image - our square pixels are now rectangular pixels so to speak. Think of a rectangular sponge that was pressed into a square box - hope this absolutely untechnical explanation helps :)

@@AfoteyAnnum Thanks for the reply. I am really trying to cut down misinformation on this topic. Back in my broadcasting days the format of choice was DVCPro HD. Basically anamorphic into a 4x3 recording with a 16:9 AR flag. On editing, the video would be de-squeezed to 1920x1080, but the recorded pixels were 1440x1080 regardless. As you know, there is no such thing as rectangular pixels, and once 1440x1080 were recorded, that's all there was to it. The only way for the image to look "proper" was by desqueezing... aka: stretching the image wider, which is where the "pixels out of thin air/softer look" remark comes from. Just making sure that high-end anamorphic works the same way.

Good point here, and yes, misinformation is easy to come by on the subject. If you're stretching OUT the footage by multiplying the width by the squeeze factor, you are interpolating and "creating" pixels, which can yield softer images. It's pretty hard to notice on 1.33x lenses though, and it would be more applicable to 2x lenses. The alternative is to reduce the height of the image, which compresses the picture and gives you "normal looking" footage and, at the same time, a higher vertical resolution, since you're packing information more closely together, so a *sharper* look, in theory. Again, very hard to notice. For my own workflow, I usually reduce the height instead of increasing the width. I even made a calculator to maximize use of the recorded area, which mixes reducing the height and extending the width by specific values: www.tferradans.com/arcalc/go :) I hope this helped clarify the question!

@@AnamorphicOnABudget It certainly did. I wasn't considering a vertical squeeze here, which would definitely yield a sharper or more detailed final image. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Hey Jeff, none of the Cookbook was shot with Sirui, but pretty much everything else that is NOT a lens review, in recent times has been shot with the Siruis. Mist filter, LARK, Potato Jet response, Studio Binder response, Split Diopters, April Fool's prank, the one about MTF Services, and so on. We use the 35 or 24 for the wide, depending on the setting, and 50 for the close up. Now the 75 will get into the mix.

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Hey Tito, thanks a lot for replying! I always thought the Sirui lenses aren’t “anamorphic” enough but I think I really like what I see from your videos! But then again, it might be the person using it hahahaha. You really compose the anamorphic framing very nicely. Really appreciate your reply again and putting so much hard work to your channel.

then go for it and save $700! Or watch my last livestream and check for a more extreme look. :)

They do, sort of, through MTF Services! Look them up!

Not as simple, unfortunately. That was the case for the 35mm, but no other lens.

@@AnamorphicOnABudget thank you for the reply! I'm guessing this is also the case if I go Sony E mount to MFT, right? 😢

Yep. :D

@@AnamorphicOnABudget wait, can someone explain to me why this isnt possible? I literally just tried it yesterday with the 50mm and it works. I went from MFT to Sony E.

I have a SLR anamophot 2x adapter with a rangefinder and I hate it. Once I got the Sirui lenses and the Vazen I couldn’t look at the SLR adapter. It’s cumbersome. However, if it works for you then by all means. I’m trying to sell mine.

@@MoeGunz Then I would encourage anybody to pick it up from you. I wouldn't ever think of using the rangefinder with it. I use the rangefinder with my real anamorphics for convenience, but never on the anamorphot. It doesn't need it as it's focus-through. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JsdfYd4jcJU.html Running with the anamorphot and the band with the rangefinder. They aren't the greatest. If I could afford the greatest, I'd use it. However, they are VERY convenient and look fantastic.

Wholeheartedly agree. RF and L should be there. You can still get them through MTF Services though. Just costs more.

Anyways it won’t cover the sensor for all the RF cameras. Now we can just wait a bit longer for the FF ones

Just being connected to the Matrix in any way is a big honor. hahaha!

Rub it in, why don't you? LMFAO Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

@@AfoteyAnnum i posted my review today if you want to check.

Hehehehe, gonna watch yours now!

@@MathieuStern omw

The budget is spread thin!

I'm not Jake, but I'm down. hahaha. Waiting for COVID restrictions to be lifted.

​@@AnamorphicOnABudget Tito I never knew about this name of yours till now! you remind me of my two stepsons; Drake & Justin! maybe.? COVID will never run out of variants, it is the new normal. watch the truth with dale bigtree on highwire. it is banned here. "The east bay mystery wall" a good location to document. The amazing unknowns.

How can you tell if a 12 or 16mm is anamorphic? Bokeh doesn't show up, and if you want flares, you can do it with fishing wire.

@@AnamorphicOnABudget I love your channel. I can't catch as many episodes as I would like. The lack of short focal length Anamorphics is an utter bummer. And I am sure there are complex options for building a short focal length Anamorphic. So, I am just going with the 5.7mm Kinoptik (120 degrees FOV) and the Kinoptik 5mm (approx 132 degrees FOV) until a reasonable option appears....On a MFT's, 75mm is 150mm, right ? No can do...

Because making films is expensive and the amount the lens company wants to spend on the review is just "sending the lens". Still, I made a more comprehensive version here, which involves all the focal lengths and has a short film in the opening. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BeGZ95snHDo.html

You're okay to think that.
