Sirui24mm F2.8 Anamorphic Cinema Lens 1.33x APS-C (M4/3 Mount)

After being impressed with Sirui's 50mm and 35mm I had to get their 24mm lens to have the set so far. I am more into wider shots so this 24mm is more for those who want that extra horizontal field of view. I do hope Sirui manufacture an even wider lens (15mm would work really well especially for micro four thirds) but for now using a 0.43 wide angle adapter with the lens works really well as long as you do not mind the soft distorted edges.One thing to note is that this only shoots up to F2.8 aperture and not F1.8 like the previous 2 but because it is 24mm you still will get a shallow depth of field if you are close to your subject, speaking of which this is the only anamorphic lens I know that can shoot 2 feet away the others were about 2.5 feet and most anamorphic lenses have a minimum focus distance of 3 feet.Overall build quality is amazing as expected and the image from all of Sirui's lenses are very sharp for an anamorphic with great contrast and all the so called anamorphic flaws are there (if you want real oval bokeh you will need to modify the lens)If you buy from Sirui themselves shipment is very quick as this arrived about a week earlier then its estimated date which is amazing.If you want to explore anamorphic imagery with a wide lens then this is the perfect start and I hope Sirui takes off as the low budget anamorphic Kings as you will never get a cheap set with amazing build and I hope Sirui continues to manufacture more lenses down the line I know the 75mm is out but as mentioned I hope they do a wider lens then the 24mm but this 24mm is amazing overall.

Superb manual lens for my MFT camera with very smooth focus and de-clicked aperture rings. The camera can assist the manual aspects by using focus peaking and over exposure indication (zebras). The lens is quite heavy and I have ordered a counterweight for my gimbal.The lens came from Germany and was delivered duty unpaid and I had to wait 6 days for the customs letter to arrive. I then had to pay well over £200 to get the lens, which Sirui refunded. I am delighted with the product.

A stunning lens, providing stunning results.I had issues with the connection plate, in that it was way too tight when attaching it to my camera (BlackMagic PCC4K). Sirui sent me a couple of replacement fittings, with the tools and instructions to change, all free of charge. Lens now connects and works like a dream, very happy!

Loving this lens so far. The only thing that lets it down is the quality of the flares - they're quite soft and contain some undesirable blurry detail. Overall the lens is very sharp with decent CA and pleasant distortion. A nice entry level anamorphic lens.

I bought 2 lenses 24mm and 75mm from these guys I had a minor issue with delivery and they were immediately back to me and helped sort the problem. I will be buying from them again soon. And these lenses are fantastic on my Pocket cam.
