The Sirui Venus 135mm T2.9 is a full-frame anamorphic prime with a 1.8x squeeze, the longest focal length in Sirui's Venus line. Its long reach gives the shallowest depth of field and the strongest background separation of the lineup, with the oval bokeh and horizontal flares anamorphic shooters want. It is a manual-focus, cine-style lens built for controlled sets rather than run-and-gun work. Against wider Venus lenses it trades versatility for compression and subject isolation.

Owners of the Venus line describe the 135mm as a specialized long anamorphic that rewards planning, with strong separation and the expected oval bokeh. Most criticism centers on its weight, manual operation and slow aperture rather than its optics.
The SIRUI Venus 135mm T2.9 is a full-frame anamorphic lens with a 1.8x squeeze. It is equivalent to a 75mm lens horizontally. It has a shallower depth of field, more blurred backgrounds and more foreground separation than the other focal lengths in the Venus lineup.
Optically, the lens delivers high sharpness and low distortion. The 1.8x squeeze gives a more pronounced anamorphic look, with elongated oval bokeh. Pointing a light source directly into the lens produces the blue flares anamorphic lenses are known for.
The long focal length lets you frame a subject without standing very close. The subject and background appear compressed together onto the same plane. The lens is lightweight.
