Sirui goes full frame

In the past few years, SIRUI 1.33x APS-C anamorphic lens lineup has disrupted the market with its competitive price and exceptional optical performance. Always looking to challenge itself as a professional lens manufacturer, SIRUI again blows the minds of videographers with its 150mm T2.9 1.6x full-frame anamorphic lens, which can be said to have no equal in its class.
Besides 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 135mm lenses, SIRUI is introducing another telephoto lens, the 150mm T2.9 1.6x, to further complement their 1.6x Venus full-frame anamorphic lineup. This lens matches well with the 1.6x lineup in terms of color tone, lens flare style, gear position, etc., and together they make a versatile set that can be used to tell a complete cinematic story. The extra reach allows you to frame the subject properly without having to stand very close to it.
This lens performs well optically with high sharpness and low distortion. Equivalent to a 94mm horizontally, it is considered a great choice for portraits, emotion expression, still life, distant subjects, etc.
The 150mm has a shallower depth of field, smoother blurred backgrounds and more elongated oval bokeh than the other lenses, which separates the subject from background.

Wide-screen aspect ratios

The common aspect ratios of most mirrorless camera sensors are 3:2 and 16:9. If you shoot in 3:2 mode, you’ll get a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. Otherwise on a 16:9 image sensor, you’ll end up with a much wider 2.8:1 aspect ratio.
An increasing number of monitors today come with a 1.6x de-squeeze capability, which allows filmmakers to see proper images while shooting. With more brands joining the “1.6x de-squeeze” club, SIRUI full-frame lineup is seeing a brighter future ahead.

High resolution images

You’ll have no problem getting super crisp wide-screen shots on this lens (ready for 8K shooting), with the subject being exceptionally sharp yet the background soft and natural. 

Beautiful oval bokeh

This lens, with a squeeze factor of 1.6 times, produces oval bokeh in a more pleasing shape than those lenses with 1.33 times squeeze, giving the footage extra expressiveness and aesthetics.
Soft and creamy background blur further separates the subject, delivering a flattering cinematic look to your shots.

Subtle lens flares

Point the lens at a light source to get a horizontal blue lens flare that the anamorphic lens is famous for. The subtle and natural blue streaks stand out for adding a Sci-Fi ambiance to your shots without being too aggressive.

A maximum aperture of T2.9

When shooting wide open at T2.9 with the focus concentrating on the subject, you'll get a shallow depth of field image with the subject in focus and other areas out of focus. Using a wide aperture in low light conditions enables the camera to take in more light and achieves a faster shutter speed. Also, the aperture ring is engineered stepless to offer smooth iris control.

Sense of compression

Distance is not a thing to worry about. When shooting with this lens, things in the distance seem to be zoomed in to form a close connection with the subject, offering a unique sense of compression.

Well controlled focus breathing

Focus breathing is well contained. You can hardly find a zooming motion to the shot while racking focus. Changing focus can be really quick and precise for this lens.

Cine lens housing

This lens looks super sleek as the whole barrel is built up of aluminum alloy. On top of that, the aperture and focus rings are both geared for a nice resistance and easy installation of follow-focus system. With a 1/4 screw hole at the bottom, the lens can be mounted directly or the quick release plate to maintain the balance of the whole setup.

Match perfectly with full frame cameras

This model comes in native mount for RF, L, E, Z mount camera systems, compatible with such full frame cameras as Panasonic S1H, RED V-Raptor, Canon R5, Sony FX3, Nikon Z8. As an inexpensive alternative to other branded full frame anamorphic lenses, this lens is going to make anamorphics accessible to more people for more situations.
