No. It is a fully manual lens with no electronics, so you focus by hand and set aperture on the ring.

What sensor does it fit?

This version is for Sony E-mount APS-C and Super35 bodies. It will not cover a full-frame sensor without cropping or a adapter.

How do I get the widescreen look?

Shoot in 16:9 and desqueeze the footage 1.33x in your editor to reach a 2.4:1 frame.

Is it good for stills?

It works, but the manual focus and distortion make it a video-first lens. Stills shooters usually prefer a native autofocus lens.

The lens and front and rear caps. A hard case and support are not included.

How does it compare with the 35mm version?

The 50mm is tighter and better for portraits and close work; the 35mm gives a wider field for landscapes and interiors.

What reviewers say

4.9 / 561 ratings

Owners rate it very highly and treat it as the entry point to anamorphic filmmaking. They praise the flare, bokeh and build for the money and accept the manual workflow. Complaints center on softness wide open, edge sharpness and the lack of electronics.

What people mention

Anamorphic lookPraisedOwners love the 2.4:1 framing, oval bokeh and blue streak flares that define the look.
SharpnessMixedIt is soft wide open and at the edges but cleans up when stopped down.
BuildPraisedThe aluminum housing and smooth focus ring feel solid and precise.
Manual focusMixedThe focus ring is nice to use, but there is no autofocus and no electronic communication with the camera.
WeightCriticisedAt about 560 g it feels heavy and front-heavy on small mirrorless bodies.
DistortionCriticisedBarrel distortion and vignetting are visible and usually need correcting in post.

About the SIRUI 50mm F1.8 1.33X Anamorphic (E Mount)

This is a 50mm f/1.8 anamorphic lens with a 1.33x squeeze, made for APS-C and Super35 sensors. The squeeze gives a 2.4:1 widescreen look when shooting in a 16:9 format. The field of view is 33% wider than a conventional 50mm lens, about the same as a 37.5mm lens.

The optics use German Schott glass elements with multilayer Nano coatings. The lens produces horizontal blue flares, sci-fi style streaks and oval bokeh. The housing is aircraft aluminum alloy, precision CNC machined, and focus adjustment uses precision copper parts. The lens weighs about 560 g.

Focus is manual. This version fits Sony E-mount cameras and has a 67mm filter thread.
