I see everyone commenting about the way the flare looks. I use my Sirui lenses with a tiffen warm black pro mist to make the flares look more organic and reduce how blue they look. I think these lenses need diffusion to function at their best.
@@austinscherzberg4569 true but most people who will be using anamorphic are all about the look and I would rent the Atlas or any diy anytime over a fake anamorphic look that will make the final results looks childish for me it's a toy, I would rather add crop and flare and oval bokeh in post rather than using this
For me, Anamorphic's have never been about the flare, its all about the wide. Everything I do is dedicated to wide, I want one of the 75's to compliment my long Xpan lens. Long AND Wide!
Brandon, Thank you, this video shines. Every pro checkbox is marked. Excellent writing, delivered with the skill of a National correspondent. I got all my answers and the most incredible video postcard of hometown Albuquerque.
I just got this today and went out and did some landscape photography as a test, and I absolutely love it. Will try IR tomorrow before some video this weekend.
How do you find it for photography? Is it tricky to desqueeze, considering the sirui anamorphics have a 1.25x at min focus and 1.33x at inifinty. I'm actually keen on getting one and using it for photos as well.
This 24mm has far more character to it than the other two. Honestly sometimes I can't tell between the 35 and the 50 which is being used on a shot. This one is clearly a 24 with a really pleasant distortion and while the flaring is obvious, it's pretty easy to control.
I just bought both the 24mm and the 50mm. They'll arrive in a couple of days. I shoot on a Sony FS2. I've been using primarily standard camera lenses. Really excited.
I’ve a sirui and a vazen. You can honestly control the flaring quite easily with matte boxes. For people getting a little excited about flares popping up. To get them to flare you basically have to stick your lens at something like the sun or a headlight, and even then straight on. They don’t just randomly flare with any old light source like some out of control loony like some reviews have you believe. You have to try quite purposefully to get them to go off and sometimes I’ve found the sirui refuses to do it. If you’re regularly running about without a matte box pointing at the sun then you might end up struggling - ( if you hate flares) but for shots that are even remotely thought out it really isn’t an issue.
I thought this would be the most fun lens to have - but already after 30 seconds the blue flare actually annoyed me.. Great work by you as always though..!
I actually, on Fuji, found it surprisingly hard to flare like that. Had to get it just right. So I don't think it's a detriment. He's working the flare real hard.
Man, I'm seeing a lot of backlash against the blue horizontal flares now that they're suddenly so easy to accomplish and plastered across every Sirui lens test. I can even agree the flares were a bit much in this video, too. But the thing is, these are /lens tests/ after all, and they're trying to showcase unique characteristics of the lens as much as possible. I think UA-camrs are TRYING to get (or allow) flared up shots for the videos. In reality yeah, nobody actually wants a blue streak across the image during a regular tripod shot in the park... but in a real filmmaking scenario, a mattebox with french flags would help you get rid of random flares that aren't desired. After that, you're only going to get flares when something genuinely very bright shines directly into the lens from in-frame. Plus, controlling flares is exactly what cinematographers have done while filming real movies with anamorphics for decades. It's no surprise that gaining access to real anamorphics at the indie level is going to force one to work more like a Hollywood DP. You can't get away with not having a mattebox, and you need to be conscious of firing too much light right into the lens, with the tools to control the lighting in your environment. For exactly that reason, a specialized lens like this may not be the best choice for ultra budget filmmaking or things like random B roll of a sports game unless you're okay with blue streaks appearing on their own terms. And as a more generally directed side note, I also do not understand people criticizing these lenses for not looking "cinematic" enough either. These are UA-cam B roll videos shot with mirrorless cameras and largely available light, and the footage is looking marvelous under a low bar. If these lenses were in a proper filmmaking scenario supported by budget and skill going into the right things, I believe they'd produce beautiful images to be mistaken for "real" movies. Ten years ago people used to rave about how cinematic the Canon 50mm STM lens was just because it was... I dunno, sharp with a shallow depth of field? But now that we have a full set of sharp, fast, REAL anamorphics at /DSLR lens prices/... now we gotta be woke and say they aren't cinematic enough. It's crazy! These lenses are nothing short of incredible. They aren't perfect, but if people flock to them, the race to offer the best affordable anamorphics will be ON for lens manufacturers more than ever before... then we'll really have options.
dude how. Take a look at those lensflares before you buy. They look horrible. Your clients are literally gonna be like: 'the fuck are those image errors'
I feel like Sirui wasn't going for the cinematic look, they were going for the "UA-camr who labels every lens as a CInema lens after he puts focus gears on it" look.
So for FF users, since the lenses require a crop in, isn’t this the same as just shooting with a normal lens and chopping off the top and bottom? (Besides the blue flares of course)
It's different because the horizontal field of view is different. E.g. On the 35mm f/1.8, it's 35mm vertically, but 26mm horizontally. A regular lens would give you the exact same fov in both axis.
When you crop to APS-C mode on a Sony it uses a smaller portion of the sensor but still captures 3840x2160 pixels (I believe); which means that the resulting anamorphic footage would also have that resolution, where if you record full frame and crop off the top and bottom you're cropping out some of those 3840x2160 pixels resulting in lower resolution footage used. But if he just shot full frame and then cropped it in post you would be correct.
Nice lenses, but the blue cast is just insane...they're too prone to flare for my liking, sadly. I'll stick with the Russian lenses for a bit longer :D
I just got the Sirui 24mm anamorphic lens for my Canon R5. Love the cinematic look. Had to figure out how to get rid of the vignetting via the camera settings.
Awesome review. And great footage! Also, I just realized that the 35mm is actually a 40mm equivalent. Because (35mm / 1.33) x 1.5 = 39.47mm So I'm buying that one first! Because the 40mm is my favourite focal length.
Can you please compare the 24mm 35mm and 50mm anamorphic lenses with standard full frame lenses with same focal length? This way we can see a difference in field of view maybe and look
Good video. If your goal is to gain more field of view horizontally, these are essentially useless on full frame cameras, they don't cover the sensor and you have to crop any gained FOV. Im not sure sacrificing focal length in the name of horizontal FOV is a good trade off. Not to mention there isn't really a sizeable squeeze. If you are using them on a crop sensor I could see them being useful.
Is the 24mm as warm as the 35mm? I have the 50mm and remember hearing the 35 and 50 differ a lot in color temp, with the 50 being the coldest. I don't really care, the 24 is exactly what most of us have been waiting for.
Are you using a 1/8 black pro mist filter or is the softness the lens? From experience both the sirui 50 and 35 are somewhat clinically sharp but this has a bit of a subtle blooming to it. Jw. Great video as always Brandon!
I have an a7sIII and really wanted this lens to work, but even using the clear zoom function I had some slight vignetting on both left and right sides. I really wish Sirui would come up with an anamorphic lens that would be compatible with my camera. Brandon, I don't see any vignetting at all in your shots, did you crop them during post?
How is this lens any different than using a 16mm and cropping the top and the bottom in post to a 2.39:1 crop? (provided you shoot in 4k to minimise the resolution loss)
Hi brandon, Why don't you use the clear image zoom on your A7SIII ? I saw another review from Mauro's Films and he says that he use the clear image zoom till 1.3x for this lens on his A7SIII without loosing quality or at least "too much" because the CIZ just croping into the sensor. Did you test it this way ? And what do you thing about this method ? Thx for your work, always a pleasure to see a new video on your channel !
The A7iii has a higher resolution sensor than the A7siii (24MP vs 12MP). Clear image zoom allows you to crop into your sensor until the resolution threshhold is reached, on the A7iii quite significantly (24MP to 4K), on the A7siii for this reason only in 1080p (12MP to 1080p).
Thanks for video. I am keen to get the 35mm lens especially as it is f1.8 rather than the f2.8 of the 24mm. A question I have is whether Sirui is a big enough company that they should not be using the likes of Indiegogo and they should just do their own R and D and product development.
I watch all your videos Brandon. You always add depth to your reviews and from what I see, only review products for the quality film maker. I'm so tempted to buy all three of these lenses but I really can't get past the flare. I would genuinely love to see you make a longer video showing how successfully the lens hoods can be prevent flares in their shots.
how is it better than cropping the top and bottom if you still have to crop into the circle? He near the ed you keep more resolution than cropping the top and bottom of the image, but he’s s cropping a large amount of the mage out to fit into the lens.
I think the SIRUI anamorphic lenses are made for MFT Sensors. On Full Frame Sensors you got the vignette, but on MFT it fits perfectly after desqueezin - without cropping in.
Hi Brandon! Is there any chance could hold a short film competition, and as the winning prize grant access to your unscripted studios film academy? Wishful thinking on my part.
Okay so this might be a dumb question, but I shoot on the BMPCC4K (MFT) and recently I got a Lumix S5 (Full frame). Is it somehow possible to get the MFT version of the sirui 1.33 lenses and adapt them to the L Mount? So that I will have a Sirui lens for both systems?
Does the crop factor differ on these lenses since they are anamorphic? Also shooting video should you get the full frame version or just shoot in apsc ?
I like this len characteristic but I don't think flare is neccessary, is there any spherical len that could perform similar character output as this len on Sony Camera?
Hi I just bought a Sirius 35mm and a Sony A7iii I have a question … Do I need to put a ring adaptor to connect the lens into my camera Sony or I can clip it without ring adapter? I’m a beginner so I need your help for my first step and no one show the process on UA-cam… Maybe you have a video link or something ? Thanks for your help
hey brandon great vid! can I ask did you utilize promist filters for the automotive sequence at the start? wondering how you achieve diffusion & ND at the same time
I wondered the same but use the a6400. To work out the width of this lens in relation to a spherical lens (0.33x wider) ... 24mm / 3 = 8.. . 24 - 8mm = 16mm. So this 24mm anamorphic has an additional width rendering it essentially as wide as a 16mm with the height / dof of a 24mm. So why then don't you just shoot on a 16mm and crop it down in post to 2.39:1 ratio and get the same result (minus the lens flares and dof [sigma 16mm has f1.4 however which should compensate] ). Or better yet, shoot on a full frame sensor and then crop for better dof??
So you think the 24mm is a no go on the C70’s 1.43x super 35 sensor? MTF services made an RF mount sirui 35mm and was hoping they’d do the same for this lens
Hey Brandon great video! So I just wanted to make sure that all 3 anamorphic lenses will work on a full frame camera with the apsc crop factor in with no issues right?
Incredible footage a salways Brandon. I'm always SO incredibly impressed by how much you capture and how great you make even the most generic thing look! I'm curious though, what mount/pole/tripod (not sure about the naming) do you use on the gimbal to get these awesome long reaching shots? also, the shot at 1:42 (awesome job btw) starting above the ceiling light, did you use an external monitor at the bottom of the gimbal or something to keep track of the frame? If not, how do you learn to expose and frame a shot so well without looking? Incredible work as always man! Hope one day to reach even a fifth of your skill
Nice video.. let me ask you.. I have a7iii as well.. but those sirui youre reffering... those are not full frame or am I wrong? Those are APS-C or not? Because if I want SIRUI 35mm full frame its like 1500 dollars.. those are just 700.. and i thought i can use only full frame lens on full frame camera which sony a7iii is.. thank you
Brandon Li. I wanna know how you color graded this. I’m using Sony A7iii as well and I’ve been using slog 2 with Phantom LUTS by Joel Famularo. But HLG 3 looks amazing. Teach us please. I wanna achieve this look!
how much flare do you want?
Sirui: yes!
The part of the cars could be perfectly a sequence from a feature film or Netflix, how beautifully recorded and graded, congratulations
Your manual focusing is so good, I'm sure some people will think that these lenses have autofocus.
Those garage shots were hot Brandon! Nice lens, that f1.8 on the 35mm though 🔥 Happy New Year!

Your heart is always my good Master.
Def wanna try some 24mm anamorphic. Flares might be a bit too much for me on the Sirui
This was REALLY helpful. Well filmed. Thanks so much!
So you just turn on the crop mode on the 7III? I just got my 24mm and figuring it out!
amazing footage as always!
I was confused about the low quality video upload.
Because this aspect ratio is so wide, i had to switch to 4k playback to get good bitrate.
Are you using a 1/8 black pro mist filter or is the softness the lens? From experience both the sirui 50 and 35 are somewhat clinically sharp but this has a bit of a subtle blooming to it. Jw. Great video as always Brandon!
Thanks, I added some bloom in post to some of the shots (auto garage, some other window shots).
I'm assuming the vignetting on the 24mm of the spike ball is from the ND filter?
For the gimbal shots are you pulling focus, using auto focus or setting to a length and using lower aperture‘s
Preset focus, maintain distance from subject
Brandon! Thanks for another great video!
Do you use diffusion filter on these shots ? They are amazing!
Thanks, I added some Gaussian blur to the highlights in post
Interesting lens! I don't see myself using it but nonetheless you made it look very good.
What mm lens was used at 6:22?
Bro .. inspirational! Been thinking about trying an anamorphic out for my a7sIII .. I’ve been super skeptical on pulling the trigger
I have an a7sIII and really wanted this lens to work, but even using the clear zoom function I had some slight vignetting on both left and right sides. I really wish Sirui would come up with an anamorphic lens that would be compatible with my camera. Brandon, I don't see any vignetting at all in your shots, did you crop them during post?
Yes these are not for full frame sensors. I used clear image soon and a7iii for most shots unless otherwise noted.
Amazing review! Are you able to attach filters to the Sirui anamorphic and do you think it is needed? I'm thinking specifically Tiffen pro mist
You'd need the 72mm version
Tiffen warm black pro mist at 1/8 - 1/4 works well for me and cuts down on the blue flare saturation
It looks like the flares are not leveled. I heard that was an issue with the other Sirui lenses.
Thanks for the video, Do these lenses come in E or FE mount ? or do you need an adaptor ?
I would just like to know how you color corrected the car scenes because! 😳
How is this lens any different than using a 16mm and cropping the top and the bottom in post to a 2.39:1 crop? (provided you shoot in 4k to minimise the resolution loss)
Erm
Lens flares, shaped bokeh for example
Hi brandon,
Why don't you use the clear image zoom on your A7SIII ? I saw another review from Mauro's Films and he says that he use the clear image zoom till 1.3x for this lens on his A7SIII without loosing quality or at least "too much" because the CIZ just croping into the sensor.
Did you test it this way ? And what do you thing about this method ?
Thx for your work, always a pleasure to see a new video on your channel !
Lens looks a little soft on a few parts - does it work with the AF on the Sony? Great video BTW!
No autofocus on these lens'. Straight up manual:)
He also added some Gaussian blur in post. Would have liked too see a few without that
OOooh, now you hit my sweet spot. BUt how come we can't use CIZ on the A7SIII instead of 4K crop?
The A7iii has a higher resolution sensor than the A7siii (24MP vs 12MP). Clear image zoom allows you to crop into your sensor until the resolution threshhold is reached, on the A7iii quite significantly (24MP to 4K), on the A7siii for this reason only in 1080p (12MP to 1080p).

Lol can’t unsee it now
As a a7s3 full frame user, does the difference of 35mm at 1.3 crop feel “big” as compared to 24mm at 1,5 crop?
I wondered the same but use the a6400. To work out the width of this lens in relation to a spherical lens (0.33x wider) ... 24mm / 3 = 8.. . 24 - 8mm = 16mm. So this 24mm anamorphic has an additional width rendering it essentially as wide as a 16mm with the height / dof of a 24mm. So why then don't you just shoot on a 16mm and crop it down in post to 2.39:1 ratio and get the same result (minus the lens flares and dof [sigma 16mm has f1.4 however which should compensate] ). Or better yet, shoot on a full frame sensor and then crop for better dof??
What is the game name (in 2:34) ??
If i ask you to pick one lens from 3 of these, will it be the 35mm?
Wonder why there is no anamorphic mode in A7s3 like in Panasonic S1
A7siii has a different shape sensor. It’s wider and less tall, so you can’t do open gate mode.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted it is the same shape of full frame sensor, it is all about the software inside the camera.
Would this lens work on a regular old Sony a7ii?
Is my monitor supposed to look like a fisheye??? Do you know if you have to change the settings so it doesn’t look like that
So you think the 24mm is a no go on the C70’s 1.43x super 35 sensor? MTF services made an RF mount sirui 35mm and was hoping they’d do the same for this lens
You might get vignetting on that sensor with 24mm lens.
The flare is like a 2014 thing feel, Iam not sure
Hey Brandon great video! So I just wanted to make sure that all 3 anamorphic lenses will work on a full frame camera with the apsc crop factor in with no issues right?
All 3 lenses cover aps-c sensor, but some aps-c is wider than others (canon is like 1.4x) so I can’t say if 24mm would fully cover that.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted what about a 1.5x crop factor? Would that be good to go? Thanks for the reply!
Brandon will u use Anamorphic lenses for your own work ? For travel video for example ? The lack of af should be a big issue ?
I rely too much on autofocus for my travel videos, so I probably would not be able to use these lenses. They’re best for indie narrative filmmaking.
Thank you Brandon
Do we need to select 4:3 aspect ratio when using anamorphic lens on sony a7iii or a7iv to see the line guide om where it should be cropped
Hey Brandon Amazing Stuff! My question is what aspect ratio did you finish in.
The aspect ratio once it is fully desqueezed in post is to 2:4:1
Did you use diffuser filter in the video?
a7iii still a beast
Incredible footage a salways Brandon. I'm always SO incredibly impressed by how much you capture and how great you make even the most generic thing look!
I'm curious though, what mount/pole/tripod (not sure about the naming) do you use on the gimbal to get these awesome long reaching shots?
also, the shot at 1:42 (awesome job btw) starting above the ceiling light, did you use an external monitor at the bottom of the gimbal or something to keep track of the frame? If not, how do you learn to expose and frame a shot so well without looking?
Incredible work as always man! Hope one day to reach even a fifth of your skill
Why is your footage much taller than mine? Are you increasing height in post ?
what are the best settings for anamorpic in the A73 , 16;9 , 4::3 , APsc 35 mm etc ?
Hi,
How do you adapt these to your full frame A7iii ? Does the 24 exist in Full frame ? thanks a lot
Do you have to set it to apsc mode?
Nice video.. let me ask you.. I have a7iii as well.. but those sirui youre reffering... those are not full frame or am I wrong? Those are APS-C or not? Because if I want SIRUI 35mm full frame its like 1500 dollars.. those are just 700.. and i thought i can use only full frame lens on full frame camera which sony a7iii is.. thank you
Brandon Li. I wanna know how you color graded this. I’m using Sony A7iii as well and I’ve been using slog 2 with Phantom LUTS by Joel Famularo. But HLG 3 looks amazing. Teach us please. I wanna achieve this look!
Search for EOSHD Pro Color HLG3
Thank you!
BTW, Did you add any LUT after shooting on PRO COLOR?
that flare feels like Star Trek
