The Sirui 35mm T2.9 is a full-frame anamorphic cine lens for RF-mount cameras. Its 1.6x squeeze gives the horizontal field of view of a 22mm lens and produces 2.4:1 images on a 3:2 sensor or 2.8:1 in 16:9, with the oval bokeh and streak flares anamorphic shooters want. The aluminum housing is light for a cine lens at about 2.1 lb, with geared focus and aperture rings and an 82mm filter thread. It is manual focus only and stops down to T16, so it suits narrative and music-video work more than run-and-gun autofocus shooting. Against Sirui's 1.33x anamorphics it trades a tighter squeeze for a stronger widescreen look, and against pricier PL-mount anamorphics it gives up some optical polish for a fraction of the bulk and cost.

Owners praise the wide anamorphic look, the light build and the value against pricier cine glass. Complaints center on manual focus, the long minimum focus distance and some softness wide open.
The SIRUI 35mm T2.9 is a full-frame anamorphic cinema lens with a Canon RF mount. It has a 1.6x squeeze factor and a horizontal field of view equivalent to a full-frame 22mm lens. The same lens is also made in E, L and Z mounts.
The 1.6x squeeze gives a 2.4:1 aspect ratio in a 3:2 sensor mode and a wider 2.8:1 frame in a 16:9 mode. It produces anamorphic effects such as sci-fi style lens flare and oval bokeh. The look matches other SIRUI full-frame anamorphic lenses.
The housing is made of aluminum alloy and the lens is lightweight. The aperture and focus rings are geared, and an 82mm filter thread allows filters to be attached. Focus is manual.
