Sirui AF Anamorphic 1.8 Lens - now in L mount too!

[ntblowz]

 

 

Their first 40mm 1.8 doesnt have L mount and have noisy AF, but seems that is all fixed up.

Just waiting for actual lens review on L mount camera before I jumped the ship

I've just jumped thanks to your post now... on both E and L mounts also? 

(this guy here says that covers full frame... nonetheless, that hexagonal bokeh looks like a bit as weird as those mirror zoom) 

Maybe yes straight to the cart, no idea yet, maybe not and checking the reviews to begin with. 

Although, L mount is also promised on the side of Blazar, without mention the 50mm f/1.8 is better than the Sirui 40mm f/1.8.

A mix with the Sirui 20mm f/1.8 + the Blazars 35mm f/1.8 (yet to come in 2025) + 50mm f/1.8:

it is a hell of a set to couple AF to anamorphics for first time available at this level :- )

If Blazer come in L mount that would be really nice

One downside when using anamorphic desqueeze in Sony, you lose both AF and IBIS. But on Panasonic you still get AF and Anamorphic specific IBIS

I m not a fan of that hex bokeh from the 40mm either, luckliy they fixed it with the 20mm which shows oval bokeh.

They have it in their roadmap.

Looks like an exciting improvement indeed!

We only have some 3rd party app solution to solve it, I'm afraid because that's a Sony firmware thing till they decide for an update if any:
