SIRUI – the Chinese manufacturer of tripods, gimbals, and lenses seems to be very determined to once again revolutionize the market by introducing an affordable 50mm T2.9 1.6x full-frame anamorphic lens in a variety of camera mounts (L/E/RF/Z). I took the lens for a short spin and decided to combine it with a Panasonic LUMIX BS1H camera for a review. Mixing products is never too good for SEO, but interesting enough, it was a good chance to “catch” two birds in one “hand”. After all, this lens is the PERFECT fit for such a Panasonic LUMIX camera since it gives the option to shoot in 6K/24p and fully utilize the 3:2 sensor. This, of course, can result in an appealing 2.4:1 aspect ratio which contributes to the much desired “cinematic look”. So let’s dive right into it. Here is my Panasonic LUMIX BS1H and SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6x lens review. I’m a bit late to the full-frame anamorphic “party” but please don’t mistake me or anyone from our amazing CineD team for being lazy. It is simply a “madhouse” here covering so many of the newly announced products. So, speaking of, please take a closer look at our recent Sony a7 IV review, and DJI Ronin 4D, Action 2 reviews. Believe me when I write that SO MUCH more is about to come… so stay tuned! Vusa and Juliet, taken from the timeline.
