SIRUI 24MM ANAMORPHIC REVIEW + POCKET 4K FOOTAGE

#sirui #anamorphic #bmpcc4k

Let's chat about the anamorphic look and see if it's something that suits your videos and productions. The Sirui 24mm Anamorphic lens is an affordable anamorphic amongst a product category that's typically expensive, big, and cumbersome. Does this lens deliver the impossible? Or is it just a cheap lens with a gimmicky flare?

Great Music:

I noticed the smooth aspect ratio transitions and I appreciate it.

[benjhaisch]

Finding yourself a partner that doesn’t mind modeling for your b-roll. 🙌🏼

[chrisbrockhurst]

Smooth change between aspect ratios was super nice!

[MarcTaraz]

I think this my favorite talking head color/lighting/framing setup yet from you

[jeffreyfleming]

Simply stated, that is really beautiful footage.

[dvdaltizer]

Great vid dude! Sweet lens! I’m with you on flares too. I feel like it’s been overdone now and it was always a serious “imperfection”. I feel like this lens is great but it doesn’t have that wow factor that vintage glass has. Great video dude.

[TheKhaniProject]

That intro, I need a playlist of your intro music. like now.

[futurevisuals]

Pretty sweet little lens. Just used it to shoot a short film along with the 50mm on the XT4 and was really happy with the way it turned out. Used plenty of diffusion which helped as they are fairly sharp. Thanks for the video.

[collinausbury]

solid video brother, thank you for a window into this world

[XhonDang]

I’ve been considering the Sirui anamorphics. Great footage big papa tomasso

[ABUSHfan]

solid video, lighting, music, crisp footage, and review

[CaleMcCollough]

If you record 4K DCI you can get a 2:5 aspect ratio. If you are going to be exporting to 2560x1080 or 5120x2160, you will still have some room to crop, which helps with that inconsistent squeeze factor.

[JamieMcEwanOfficial]

That's awesome that there are options for de-squeezing that make this more convenient.
Really enjoyed your breakdown of the use cases and examples from Spielberg to AOC

[VeganRashad]

I have the 50mm! I immediately bought the 24mm tighter shots in my home.

[MarkLMontpetit]

Hey PT, Thought that the new look for voice on camera was very nice!

[AlexPerri]

I've been thinking of trying the Sirui lenses out for a while now. This is making me want to try them out even more, although I really wish they had that more distinct oval bokeh.

[GregTardif]

MIA called and said the intro music was fresh to death and the transitions were ultimate

[tarunsai]

Hey can you tell about the auto focus of this lens when it goes with my sony fx30?

[Evanrodge]

SICK REVIEW

Yeah, I actually like this bokeh a lot, plenty of separation but not completely lost in the sauce.

[MrRaychard]

im interested with anamorphic lens, I;m planning for the 35mm and will but the fuji Xs10. sadly I heard that sirui doesn't offer 35 with fuji mount. I could get the 50mm version but with a 1.5 crop factor its gonna be 75mm just a bit a tele side. I could get sent e mount a6600 just to have the 35 but the ibis on the Sony is really not meant for video. I can go with Gh% which is 3 years already and really old and iso performance seems not that good but the IBIS is like the best in class which is good for handheld manual focus 35
