The Sirui Saturn VII 35mm is a full-frame anamorphic cine lens with a 1.6x squeeze, a T2.9 maximum aperture and a carbon fiber barrel that weighs about 390 g. Its standout trick is a mount that rotates so the same lens shoots horizontal or vertical anamorphic, which suits hybrid shooters who deliver both widescreen and vertical formats. It is manual focus only, with a 120-degree focus throw and a 0.9 m close focus, and it renders oval bokeh and neutral streak flares. Against the heavier, pricier anamorphic sets from established cine brands, it trades some mechanical refinement and close-focus reach for light weight and format flexibility.

Owner and reviewer feedback on the Saturn series is generally positive on image character and weight, with the rotating mount singled out as genuinely useful. Complaints center on the long close-focus distance and the manual-only workflow.
The Sirui Saturn VII 35mm is a manual focus anamorphic cine lens with a 1.6x squeeze. It covers full frame sensors and has a T2.9 to T16 aperture range. The lens can be switched between horizontal and vertical shooting orientation and supports multiple aspect ratios.
The barrel is made of carbon fiber to keep the weight low. The optical design has 18 elements in 13 groups. A 10-blade iris produces oval bokeh, and the lens gives neutral streak effects with a filmic look.
Focus is manual, with 120° of focus ring rotation. The lens focuses from 0.9 m to infinity.
