- A look at the the Sirui anamorphic adapter in real work use. I am testing it on the Sirui 35mm, 50 mmm and a full frame sigma 28 to 70 using auto focus

I would also like to add that this adapter is a great solution for any vintage lens you want to attach a focus motor or mini follow focus to. There's no need for rehousing the lens or 3D printing follow focus rings. Sometimes, cheap vintage lenses are rendered unusable for video due to wear and tear. Issues such as the focus wheel not working smoothly or requiring too many turns to bring something into focus quickly can be problematic. However, if you set the vintage lens to infinity focus and then adjust focus using this adapter, it works wonderfully.
amazing video! You earned a new sub!
Very Kind, thank you :)
Thanks for sharing! Would this work on the 24mm anamorphic?
I have never tried it myself so it’s hard to comment but I have heard there is some vignetting. Though having never tried it myself I can’t be 100% sure.
Would this work on my 35mm Sirui Nightwalker lens (aps c) - super interested in getting this adapter
I do not own any nightwalker lenses to test but in theory with their 67mm filter threads you can use the included step down ring and put the adapter on. I just can’t comment on the quality but I would presume it would work well.
Hey, I did a review of this also and had some good and bad results, did you find any of these with your tests? You can it's my latest review if the same adapter on my channel.
I am watching your vid now (I have seen your vids before and very well done).
As for the problems, its an adapter so i did expect some softness this can also be effected by the distance from the lends. It helps sometimes to adjust the focus on the taking lens as well when having a hard time getting focus. I guess this is why many people hater adapters.
Stoping does help I found around 2.8 was a sweet spot.
You do not get many flares for sure (I prefer this as I think the other Sirui lenses give a touch to much) it hasn't got so much of the blue coating so it is a lot more natural in the colouring but mine was more silver than green, but I will do some more tests.
I like it but yes it does have some failings and it can be a little hard to work with especially for running and gunning.
I went for a quick walk around St Pauls with it on a Sony 85mm F1.8 lens today so I will be putting that up as soon as I get some time with some additional thoughts.
*Edit, I will be doing some vintage lenses as well.
Thanks for watching
@@GMTNeil thanks for the response, I do wish Sirui had put out some more info on the adapter. Vintage lenses don't seem to work that well. I look forward to seeing your results! Good luck with the channel!
Can I put an 82mm ND filter on the front of the adapter? It says 85mm, but I'm hesitant to buy it.
It’s an 85mm diameter (this means the whole of the outside) where the front thread shows to be 82mm (there is a Ø82 marking on the side) I will confirm this tonight when I am home (my time).
Yes it is
@@GMTNeil Thank you for your answer. I ordered the product today. The video you uploaded was also helpful :)
I hope you enjoy it!
I have dark corners when I film with my 35mm, how can I fix? Please help
You might have to crop in a little, if you are on a Sony camera clear image zoom will do this or use active steady shot.
You can also do it in post it won’t be to noticeable. I get the same and used the above. The 50 min is fine.
You will also notice if you are filming things further away is till get better. As on the Sirui anamorphic lenses there is some focus breathing.
Not the perfect answer but hope it helps.
Amazon is selling now. Affordable price!
Good to see it’s available, thanks for letting us know.
Beware though I had some very mixed results with it.
Anamorphic adapters and lenses are kinda stupid, now.
Lol if you say so. Best let Hollywood know.
Maybe to you but still plenty of people and audiences out there who enjoy the look.
