Cinematic Anamorphic Look Without the Complexity
The 40mm focal length sits in a sweet spot for storytelling, offering a natural perspective with clear subject separation while preserving the signature anamorphic look. Horizontal compression, oval bokeh, and controlled flares give footage a cinematic identity that immediately elevates fashion, lifestyle, and commercial work beyond standard spherical lenses.
With its native 1.33x squeeze, the lens allows shooters to achieve widescreen framing without complex monitoring or heavy post-production workflows—perfect for event shooters and fast turnaround jobs.
Autofocus Built for Real-World Shooting
Unlike traditional anamorphic lenses that demand constant manual focus, the SIRUI 40mm Cine AF uses a stepping motor (STM) for smooth, accurate autofocus performance. This makes it especially useful for:
-
Solo videographers
-
Run-and-gun fashion and lifestyle shoots
-
Events, parties, and nightlife coverage
-
Gimbal and handheld camera work
On compatible Sony cameras, autofocus works seamlessly with face and eye tracking, helping keep subjects sharp even during movement.
An AF/MF switch allows quick transition to manual focus when full control is required.
Low-Light Performance & Subject Separation
With a fast T1.8 aperture, the lens performs confidently in low-light environments such as clubs, night events, interiors, and available-light locations. The 11-blade aperture produces smooth, oval bokeh and pleasing background separation while maintaining strong center sharpness.
The minimum focus distance of 0.4 m allows for intimate close-ups with anamorphic depth and compression, making the lens effective for beauty, fashion, and detail shots.
