![Affordable anamorphic lens kit for solo shooters: Sirui Saturn 35mm, 50mm, 75mm [Footage & Review]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/diwqo2SdJCw/mqdefault.jpg "Affordable anamorphic lens kit for solo shooters: Sirui Saturn 35mm, 50mm, 75mm [Footage & Review]
Ive been searching for anamorphic lenses that fit my run-and-gun shooting style, and now it might just be possible. Each lens in this Sirui Saturn kit (35mm, 50mm, 75mm) weighs less than 500g yet packs a 1.6x squeeze. Lots of test footage and my raw un-sponsored thoughts. Join Audiio for unlimited music & sound fx! https://bdn.li/audiio
