Sirui is teasing the launch of its next lens, which will be a 35mm 1.33x anamorphic with a maximum aperture of F1.8. Until recently, Surui was best known for making tripods, but it`s branched out into lenses, with this being the second released this year.
Like the 50mm 1.33x anamorphic that was launched in February, this new lens is designed for APS-C and MFT sensors. It will be only available in the MFT mount but there are adapters for Sony E, Canon EF-M and Nikon Z mount camera systems, according to a video placed on the company`s U.S. Facebook page. The lens will come with detachable geared rings for the focus and aperture rings, uses a 68mm front filter thread and has a minimum focus distance of 0.85m (2.8ft).
The lens is promoted as the wide-angle answer to the existing 50mm lens, and the company says it provides the viewing angle of a 26.3mm lens when used on an APS-C sensor. Sirui says that once de-squeezed, footage from a 16:9 area of the camera`s sensor will take on a 2.4:1 aspect ratio with characteristic oval bokeh and blue light streaks of flare.
The Sirui 35mm F1.8 1.33x anamorphic lens will be available for an early-bird price of $599 via an Indiegogo campaign page that goes live on August 3rd at 9am EST. For more information on the company`s 50mm lens see the Sirui website.
