SIRUI has just announced an interesting lineup of 1.5x anamorphic lenses: the IronStar. These cine lenses cover full-frame image sensors, they have a maximum aperture of T1.9, they feature a user-interchangeable PL/EF lens mount, and three focal lengths will be available at launch: 35mm, 45mm, and 60mm. So, let’s take a closer look at these!
