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, SIRUl again blows the minds of videographers with its 135mm T2.9 1.8x full-frame anamorphic lens, which can be said to have no equal in its class.

The 135mm has a shallower depth of field, smoother blurred backgrounds, and more excellent foreground separation than the other focal lengths in the lineup.
This lens performs well optically with high sharpness and low distortion. Equivalent to a 75mm horizontally, it is considered a great choice for portraits, landscapes, products, etc. The extra reach allows you to frame the subject properly without having to stand very close to it. The subject and the background appear to be compressed together onto the same plane.
The 135mm features a 1.8x squeeze design for a more pronounced anamorphic look, such as the smoothly blurred backgrounds with more elongated oval bokeh.

Consistent across the whole set

The 135mm T2.9 1.8x, to further complement their 1.6x full-frame anamorphic lineup. This lens matches well with the 1.6x lineup in terms of color, lens flare style, gear position, mount option, price point, etc., and together they make a versatile set that can be used to tell a complete cinematic story.  

Stunning image quality

In terms of image quality, this lens is sharp without being clinically sharp. The chromatic aberration and focus breathing are very well controlled.

Frame as you like

Whether to shoot grand scenes or tight shots, the images you get with this lens will be of superior quality, high resolution and good sharpness. Being a full-frame lens means it can shoot wider than its APS-C equivalents, leaving you plenty of room for pan-and-scan or punching in the post. For example, if part of an image is redundant, just crop it out without worrying about pixel loss.

Beautiful oval bokeh

This lens, with a squeeze factor of 1.8 times, produces oval bokeh in a more pleasing shape than those lenses with 1.33 times squeeze, giving the footage extra expressiveness and aesthetics.

Vibrant lens flares

Pointing a light source directly into this lens to get that signature blue lens flares anamorphic lenses are known for, adding a sprinkle of magic to your image.

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.

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.
