Overview

The Sirui 75mm f/1.8 Anamorphic is an affordable anamorphic prime for APS-C/MFT cameras, offering a 1.33x squeeze for 2.4:1 cinema-style video. Optical strengths include strong anamorphic character with oval bokeh and controllable blue flares. Weaknesses: minimum focus of 1.2m limits close-ups. Build is solid and compact for an anamorphic lens, with a 186° focus ring rotation for precise pulls, though an audible click at focus stops and slight friction when turning quickly are noted. It suits filmmakers wanting a telephoto anamorphic look on a budget.
