With its 40mm T1.8 1.33x anamorphic lens, SIRUI has something quite extraordinary up its sleeve. The newly developed, anamorphic fixed focal length is designed to support autofocus, which is still a rarity for anamorphic lenses. SIRUI 40 mm T1.8 1.33x S35 AF Anamorphot for 639 dollars on Indiegogo At 1.33x, the compression factor is rather on the mild side and very pragmatically converts the image from the standard 16:9 format to a 2.4:1 ratio. Not only the mount, but also the colour of the generated flares needs to be decided before purchase, whereby SIRUI offers two options here: The now almost classic blue flare is typically suitable for sci-fi, mystery and music video scenes. The neutral flare, on the other hand, does not change the colours of the highlights at all. The 40mm should be easy to use as a universal fixed focal length, whereby the lens is also recommended as an ‘always-on’ lens due to its low weight. The E-mount version should weigh around 614 grams. The manual aperture ring from T1.8 to T22 is declickable, and there is also an AF/MF switch and a freely assignable button. The advertised price of 639 US dollars does not sound overpriced at all and those who pre-order by 25.11.24 will even receive an additional 20 per cent discount. However, there is a small catch. As is so often the case with SIRUI, this introductory offer is an Indiegogo campaign, i.e. there is a certain risk that this product will never be released - and the money will simply be gone. However, SIRUI has established itself as a reliable manufacturer of various anamorphic optics in the past, which is why we personally consider the Indiegogo risk to be justifiable. more infos at bei www.indiegogo.com deutsche Version dieser Seite: SIRUI 40 mm T1,8 1,33x S35 AF Anamorphot für 639 Dollar bei Indiegogo |
