Summary

The Sirui 75mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic is a telephoto full-frame cinema prime crafted to bring cinematic intimacy and character to close-up shots, dialogue scenes, and narrative storytelling. Engineered by Sirui as part of its rugged metal Venus lineup, this 75mm prime utilizes a distinct 1.6x anamorphic squeeze factor, delivering an expansive 2.8:1 widescreen aspect ratio on 16:9 sensors and a classic 2.4:1 scope ratio on 3:2 full-frame sensors.

Built with 15 optical elements arranged in 13 groups using premium German Schott optical glass, the optical formula achieves crisp resolving power while rendering skin tones with a flattering, gentle roll-off. Its 10-blade aperture works together with cylindrical optical elements to render elongated oval bokeh highlights and the iconic brushed blue horizontal flares that instantly elevate cinema productions, music videos, and commercial cinematography.

Engineered for seamless on-set operation, the Sirui 75mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic features unified 0.8 MOD focus and aperture gear rings that mesh flawlessly with wireless and mechanical follow focus units. The front barrel incorporates a standard 82mm filter thread, allowing cinematographers to mount variable neutral density filters and creative mist filters without being tethered to a bulky matte box.
