Sirui 100mm T2.9 Full Frame 1.6X Anamorphic Lens - Filmmaking Test [Sony A7s III] @BrandonLiUnscripted

Brandon Li Sirui added another lens to their full-frame 1.6x anamorphic kit! The 100mm is great for portraits. Get the lens: indiegogo.com/projects/sirui-the-most-affordable-2x-anamorphic-solution/x/22500073

My thoughts below:

IMAGE QUALITY
I've only had this lens for a couple days, but so far I'm really impressed. The flares seem better controlled than earlier Sirui anamorphics, with a softer, more natural-looking horizontal blue streak (though I still prefer white or amber flares). I was also pleasantly surprised by the oval bokeh. There seems to be more oval stretch than I noticed on the Sirui 50mm 1.6x lens, probably because of the longer focal length. So you'll get a beautiful wall of stretchy bokeh behind your portrait subjects.

I didn't notice any unpleasant focus breathing, but I'm sure it does breathe. All anamorphics do (it's part of their character). I did notice a bit of fringing on the high contrast edges, if you zoom way in and pixel peep it. I only shot wide open, so I think the fringing will be reduced if you stop down a bit.

Low light is not the strongest suit of this lens because it's T2.9, or approx f2.8. Still, I was able to get pretty clean shots at base ISO even at night, as long as my main subject was standing under a streetlight or strongly backlit as a silhouette. There is more noticeable flare at night in backlight, and it can be distracting. The solution is a matte box and flags.

PHYSICAL
It's big and heavy. I don't know the exact weight, but it feels like about 3.5 lbs or 1.5 kg. Almost all metal. Focus and aperture gears are dampened but not over-tight. Still, you might not be able to push the gears with smaller mechanical follow focus devices, like the FF kits that come with DJI and Zhiyun gimbals.

It's 82mm filter thread. You'll need big (expensive) circular filters, or square (expensive) filters and a matte box.

OVERALL
I recommend this lens as part of a low-budget anamorphic kit for shoots where you don't want to do rental. Long-term docu shoot, weekly weddings, or personal art films. It works best with "open gate" 3:2 or 4:3 sensors, not 16x9 sensors like A7s III.

I feel like a real filmmaker with this chunky beast of a lens on my camera. It's a lot of fun to use.

GOT A QUESTION FOR ME? CHECK MY HUGE LIST OF FILMMAKING Q&A learn.unscripted.com/faq

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 it's not the full 2x stretch. The focus ring is smooth in operation and not too tight for small follow focus gears to operate.

So let's go ahead and talk about that crazy flare. Yeah there's way too much of it. It looks ok to me when there's just one strong light source light like the sun, but it looks awful when there's many light sources. Sirui told me the production version of this lens will have different coatings for reduced flare, so we'll 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 I'm not shooting sci-fi.

The lens is big and heavy, but that's 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 couldn't 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 didn't work too well with my gimbals, so be warned.

The T2.9 aperture is about the same as F2.8. It's not super bright for a prime. But if it were T2, the lens would be gigantic and more expensive. So that's the tradeoff.

The 50mm focal length is actually wider, because of anamorphic's 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 you'll get a wider FOV.

I don't know if it's weatherproof, so I can't 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 won't 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.

Better Smartphone Filmmaking! Tutorial with vivo X60 Pro+

Brandon Li 2021-09-15 | I take vivo’s X60 Pro+ phone around the city and show you my techniques for applying traditional filmmaking techniques to smartphone shooting.
Enter the vivo VISION+ Mobile PhotoAwards 2021: visionplus.vivo.com/en
Learn more about the vivo X60 Pro+ smartphone: vivo.com/en/products/x60proplus?fromBanner=Products_top_MainPushProduct

This top-of-the-line phone has impressive video features, including advanced stabilization and a super-wide camera with superior lowlight abilities.

A few quick tips for shooting with this phone:
- Use default camera app, default video mode for most situations
- Shoot 4k30p, then in editing slow to 80%. This gives you cinematic 24p with a slight slow motion effect
- Lock focus/wb/exposure before shooting by long-pressing the screen, then adjust brightness ny dragging down a bit to preserve highlights.
- Lowering your exposure will also enhance stabilization. Side note: stabilization is best in default video mode, not Movie or Night mode
- At night, lock exposure and drag down to preserve highlights. Avoid Night mode as it reduces resolution and stabilization quality.
- Try out the HDR mode. It seems to work well, I just didn't have time to fully explore it
