Ive always dreamed of being able to shoot run-and-gun anamorphic, so I wanted to try this new full-frame lens on my Sony A7siii. Read my full thoughts in description below. Learn filmmaking: https://filmschool.us/brandon-li-2024

My thoughts on this lens:
The Sirui 50mm Full Frame Anamorphic is the first Sirui lens that looks noticeably anamorphic to me. The lens is sharp and has great contrast and color. The bokeh is noticeably oval, though of course its not the full 2x stretch. The focus ring is smooth in operation and not too tight for small follow focus gears to operate.
So lets go ahead and talk about that crazy flare. Yeah theres way too much of it. It looks ok to me when theres just one strong light source light like the sun, but it looks awful when theres many light sources. Sirui told me the production version of this lens will have different coatings for reduced flare, so well see. I do wish they could also give the flare a more neutral color. I prefer the flare to be more subtle and natural overall because Im not shooting sci-fi.
The lens is big and heavy, but thats to be expected from most anamorphic primes. I was able to balance it on my DJI RS 2 and RSC 2 gimbals (with follow focus and lens support), but the gimbals couldnt stabilize it nearly as well as my smaller primes. I still got lots of jitters, even with easy slow movements. Also, it was difficult to keep the follow focus gear from disconnecting. Generally it just didnt work too well with my gimbals, so be warned.
The T2.9 aperture is about the same as F2.8. Its not super bright for a prime. But if it were T2, the lens would be gigantic and more expensive. So thats the tradeoff.
The 50mm focal length is actually wider, because of anamorphics increased field of view. It feels more like a 35mm or 40mm in spherical lens terms. A very useful focal length for filming people in medium and close-up shots. If you use a 4x3 sensor camera, I think youll get a wider FOV.
I dont know if its weatherproof, so I cant comment on that.
Final thoughts: this lens is totally usable and gives you enough anamorphic look to justify the extra hassle. Personally, I would wait to purchase until I could get a whole set of FF 1.6x lenses. Otherwise the image wont match the rest of my kit. But this 50mm is a great start, once they fix that flare.
Technical notes: Filmed on Sony A7siii in slog3sgamut3cine @ 4k60p, 4k24p. No ND filters. Handheld + DJI RSC 2 gimbal. Edited in DaVinci Resolve. 5184 x 2160 timeline. Input LUT and basic cc only. No creative LUT or film emulation used.

I spent a month traveling the outer regions of Spain to create this video, a look into parts of the country a bit less known to tourists. I shot it all on the vivo X300 Pro smartphone.
From the calm Mediterranean seas of Costa Brava, to the rugged life in Galicia and Cantabria, to the endless beaches and traditional mountain cultures of Tenerife. Come take a look at another side of Spain.
