Sirui's anamorphic 50mm for APS-C mirrorless — 1.33x squeeze at f/1.8 for cinematic normal perspective.
The Sirui 50mm f/1.8 1.33x Anamorphic is a cinema lens providing 1.33x anamorphic squeeze for APS-C mirrorless at 50mm — approximately 75mm equivalent. The normal-to-short-tele perspective with anamorphic characteristics suits dialogue scenes and medium shots.
The 1.33x squeeze creates 2.39:1 cinema widescreen from 16:9 sensors. The 75mm equiv provides flattering perspective for dialogue and medium shots. Oval bokeh and horizontal blue flares. f/1.8 is fast for anamorphic. De-clickable aperture for smooth iris pulls.
Available for multiple mirrorless mounts. Manual focus only. Part of Sirui's matched anamorphic prime set with 24mm, 35mm, and 75mm. De-clickable aperture. 0.8 module cine gear rings. APS-C coverage.
Available used at mid-range prices. The 50mm is the workhorse of the Sirui anamorphic set — the most versatile focal length for narrative work. Requires de-squeeze in post. For indie filmmakers building an affordable anamorphic lens set.
