Cinematographer demands for anamorphic lenses have resulted in expensive options making it difficult for cinematic enthusiasts to acquire a quality product. With the introduction of the SIRUI 50mm F1.8 Anamorphic lens, there is now a high quality, lightweight product that delivers all the unique anamorphic features at a great value. Compared to a traditional 50mm APS-C lens, the SIRUI 50mm F1.8 anamorphic camera lens produces a cinematic 2.4:1 widescreen video with a 33% increase of the horizontal field of view to achieve a FOV equivalent to an APS-C 37.5mm lens. Built with Aircraft Aluminum housing and high-quality German Manufactured Schott optical glass lens elements, the F1.8 camera lens is compact and robust yet light enough to easily create Cinematic widescreen shots. Manually adjust the focusing and light settings with precision scale marks on the comfortable focus and aperture rings.
