Sirui Venus 35mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic vs Sirui Venus 100mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic

These are the same Sirui Venus 1.6x full-frame anamorphic lens family in two focal lengths: 35mm wide and 100mm telephoto. The 35mm is the more versatile first anamorphic, good for establishing shots, interiors and full-frame sensor coverage. The 100mm compresses backgrounds hard and gives the classic long-lens anamorphic look, but it is harder to use in tight spaces and needs more light discipline. Both are manual, T2.9, carbon-fiber cine lenses with the same 1.6x squeeze and M82 filter thread.

• Choose the Sirui Venus 35mm if you want one anamorphic lens that covers wide shots, gimbal work and everyday scenes on a full-frame body.
• Choose the Sirui Venus 100mm if you shoot portraits, close-ups and compressed background shots and already have a wide lens covered.
