SIRUI has just expanded their full-frame anamorphic lens lineup, or rather they are in the process of doing so. The new SIRUI 35mm and 100mm T2.9 1.6x anamorphic primes will launch via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign on September 8th, 2022 9am EST. In addition, the company has also announced a convenient 1.25x anamorphic adapter that increases the 1.6x to a 2x squeeze factor and also works on spherical lenses. In addition to the already available full-frame anamorphic lenses (50mm T2.9 –article-, 75mm T2.9 –article-), SIRUI expands its product range to four lenses plus the above-mentioned adapter with this announcement. Although the two anamorphic lenses SIRUI 35mm and 100mm T2.9 1.6x are not yet available, there is already plenty of available information to decide if these new lenses are worth investing in the upcoming Indiegogo campaign or not.

Three step-down rings (67mm, 72mm, 77mm) and one step-up ring (92mm) are included, so it should work with a number of different lens makes and models.
