SIRUI Saturn Carbon Fiber Lightweight Anamorphic Lenses Teased – for Full-Frame Mirrorless Cameras

SIRUI teased two new lightweight full-frame anamorphic primes – the SIRUI Saturn 50mm T2.9 x1.6 and the SIRUI Saturn 75mm T2.9 x1.6. They’ll be available in six optional mounts including E-mount, RF Mount, DL Mount, X Mount, Z Mount, and L Mount. A blue flair and a natural flair version will be available.

All three lenses feature an identical external layout and similar weight, so switching between the trio will be a breeze whether working on a gimbal or a rig. They should all produce similar visual rendering, except for the field of view. SIRUI Saturn anamorphic set for full-frame mirrorless cameras.

SIRUI mentions that high-precision glass molding aspherical elements have been used to reduce overall lens weight, but doesn’t specify how...
