24mm F2.8 Sirui Anamorphic 1.33x Lens

[@wilwilson8146]

Flares aside. The "anamorphic look" is where its at. Outstandingly gorgeous!

[@diazfilms]

Was waiting for your review on this one 👍🎬

[@TomAntos]

Thanks!

[@CWReace]

Thanks for making me aware of this. Looking forward to getting the X-mount version to go alongside of my 50mm.

[@TomAntos]

You are welcome Charles. Best of luck!

[@philpritchard5173]

Thx Tom. Beautiful shots. Would you still use a pro-mist with these lenses, or would that make it 'too' soft?

[@TomAntos]

Pro mist won't really soften the image. It just adds atmosphere by creating halo around lights and hot spots. So if you want that effect then you definitely would want to use it with this lens.

[@philpritchard5173]

@@TomAntos grt. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

[@georgesealy4706]

Just purchased the 24mm for my Fuji X-T4. I really like the results. I doubt that I buy the other ones in the lineup as I am looking for the wide view that 24mm offers coupled with the anamorphic lens squeeze/de-squeeze. It is enough for me. Thanks for your insightful videos as always.

[@MoonSafariFilms]

I love that it has that signature bowing on horizontal lines.

[@AfoteyAnnum]

Sirui IS listening. The 85mm is the next lens to round out the set, and I can't wait to add it to my 35mm and 50mm lenses. I just backed the 24mm, and am really pleased with the performance of the lenses so far. It's really nice to have a single focus anamorphic lens solution of this quality for

[@eduardocortes-dv4lo]

Hi Tom, i can affird just 1 lense for wedding..wich its best for this use the 35 or the 24? All the best.

[@biscuitsalive]

I do love my 50mm f1.8 version. But wish it was 1.8x or 2x stretch. 1.33 just isn’t that different from a spherical lens most of the time.

[@CoscarelliFan]

Can't wait to get this. Great review Tom. I owe it to your early review on the 50 to turning me on to Sirui. I've got the 35 and 50.

[@TomAntos]

Yes, if you already own the 35 and 50 then you'll love the 24mm. Now Im just hoping they make another longer lens and Im good for everything.

[@sirackcity]

What do you think about this lens for real estate or wedding videography?

[@TomAntos]

Not sure if its a good fit for real estate videos but wedding videos might be a great lens if that's the kind of look you want.

[@Svenfrederikson]

Hi Tom Can you tell me, that Sirui did improved the MFT Lens Mount, so that it has a better fit? And very good picture quality, by the way

[@redumbrella4218]

Great job Tom! Congrats!!!

Question. Where can I buy a Hood Cap for both 35mm and 24mm. I wanted to shoot outside in the snow ❄️ and maybe some rain shots. And yes I’ll buy rain protection for the whole camera. Sony a7R3 User.

[@deanisplemoni]

Awesome footage! Own their 50mm 1.8, might have to grab this too.

[@ookiemand]

Wonderful lens and review! Love the sensation of space with the anamorphic lenses!

[@SergeGolikov]

Yes, space in the anamorphic aspect ratio is the essence! All that fixation about oval background bokeh and blue horizontal flairs, is a product of the "Star Bores" generation, weaned on CGI and SFX. Imagine classical Cinemascope Westerns and true narrative films being fixated by those artifacts! They would have been considered as the aberrations which they are, and would have been painstakingly eliminated!

[@artofduke]

Does that mean 18mm M43 FOV or 18mm standard cinema lens FOV? Because M43 lenses FOV are 50% off normal lenses, for example, a 50mm standard lens is comparable to a 25mm M43 lens.

[@redsnow7777]

Wow! Thanks for posting this one! Can you use this on the GH5s, if so, would I need a lens adaptor? thanks!

[@agir3607]

Hi! Great content. Thanks a lot. I have some doubts about which mount I should get. I have a BMPCC4K, but I intend to get the new 6K Pro in some time in the near future. But I will keep my 4K. Is it possible to use the EF mount version in the BMPCC4K using adaptor (or speedbooster)? I really love the anamorphic look but I don’t know much about it yet.

[@DyenamicFilms]

I tried the 50mm on a Sony FX9. On 6k Full Frame, there's vignetting, but with 5k scan mode, there is surprisingly very little vignetting. Most noticeable when stopped all the way down. Wide open, it's hardly noticeable and very usable.

[@booga2007]

This 50mm 2.9 looks so much better than the 50 1.8 in terms of the dreamy stretched bokeh. Very beautiful. Is that your experience too Tom? or are you getting better in getting the best out of anamorphic? Can you get these results with 50mm 1.8 too?

[@claudiopaolucciphoto]

Tom, I have a GH5. Could I mount a speed booster like the Viltrox EF-M2? I could take this lens with Canon mount if the bayonet connection can be replaced as for the older brother, the 35mm ... What you think about?

[@steveschnetzler5471]

So tempting, but it is so our of my league. Great to watch what you shout though, thanks.

Thanks Tom for a video! Finally bought today 24 mm and 50mm,let s see if they make me happy) Tom how do you manage focusing on it?I see you have some motors...

[@TomAntos]

I do it by hand or sometimes a wireless follow focus. Here is a great option that I use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q37WgHikhZWSf5o

Great review as usual Tom, been waiting for this Focal Lengh, great sharpness, and micro-contrast. I go back to shooting Anamorphic Super 8 film, back in the day (Nikon R8+KOWA Prominar 16H)

[@commanchera66]

Hello how are you? You stated if you were to buy only one the 35mm was the way to go . Right now the 35 mm is backordered If was to order 1 lens as I just purchased a bmpc4k would I be be better off with the 50mm or the 24mm? Thanks

[@TomAntos]

Get the 50mm

[@Shayler78]

Apart from lens flare and bokeh difference, how would you say this lens compares to Sigma 18-35 F1.8? If you stuck letterbox black bars over both Sigma 18-35 F1.8 footage and Sirui 24mm footage wouldn’t it look very similar, apart from lens flares & bokeh? The Sirui 24mm doesn’t look very anamorphic in terms of lens distortion.

[@MILOSDONI]

Is on bmcp4k speedbooster mounted or not? Sample video are amazing.

[@TomAntos]

Thanks! No I never used the speedbooster with this lens since its a mirrorless lens so can't put it on any speedbooster

[@olakunlesmith1092]

Thanks for this video. Please can I use this lens on a Canon EOS M6 Mark ii?

[@therenderer4726]

Hi Tom, is the aperture ring resistance harder compared to the focus ring, like in their 35mm version? Is the color tone of the 24mm lens more inline with the 50mm or 35mm lens? Thank you.

[@stMiCtv]

Tom will this lens work with the meta bones speed booster for the black magic 4k pocket?

[@claudiopaolucciphoto]

I have the same curious question. It could be useful for M43 to have a real focal length of 23mm (with a speedbooster of 0.71) (24x2x0.71 / 1.5) and a Fstops of 2. You could take the Canon mount version and add a Viltrox EF-M2. I also believe that the bayonet connection can be replaced as for the older brother, the 35mm ...

[@claudiopaolucciphoto]

I've made a mistake... the 24mm is a real APSC focal length, not referred to a full-frame focal length... the right calculation for an M43 body with a speed booster of 0.71 is 24x2x0.71=34mm

[@atulatulatul1]

How about using 24mm anamorphic for KZbin video and vlogs..and still landscapes..?

[@TJIzzy]

I hope they make one with more squeeze and less dark blue flare

[@cesarlopez9037]

[@TomAntos]

Yes but only in the opening shots. The rest of the video there are no filters used.

[@esmpmedia8586]

Hi. Do you know if the EF mount version is in fact the MFT mount with a removable, add on ring adapter to fit the EF mount, like the 35mm was? This way the lens can be used for both MFT and EF system?

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

How will this work with the original BMCC 2.5?

[@seecraig]

Using BMPCC 4K would getting the EF version of the Sirui lenses on Metabones SpeedBooster offer a shallower depth of field? My concern is that F2.8 on MFT would limit you to a deeper depth of field.

[@TomAntos]

Unfortunately these lenses are for mirrorless cameras only so there is no Canon EF mount version. There is a Sony E-Mount, Canon EF-M, Nikon Z-Mount, Fujifilm X-Mount and MFT mount for Panasonic, Z-Cam, Olympus and Blackmagic cameras.

[@billzidis2656]

Sorry but after working with Anamorphics these one are not even close. To have a great effect of anamorphic it needs to be 2X or at least 1.8X . These feels like normal lenses. Also,85mm 2X anamorphic is a must,even if they produce an 85mm if it's 1.33X then makes no sense for me. Also huge drawback is that these are mirrorless lenses,not EF mount which is the majority of cinema cameras so... These are made for amateur use primarily using small mirrorless cameras ( the BMPCC 4K is amazing camera no doubt)

[@captureinsidethesound]

Its not a drawback just because its not an EF mount and isn't the most used mount. The mount has nothing to do with the quality of the glass. Also, 1.33 squeeze is a happy medium between a standard lens and the common 2X anamorphic lens so its "different" and not just another copy-cat "anamorphic standard". 1.33 allows you to have a close subject will keeping the FOV just wide enough to have anamorphic character. Personally, i think 2X is too much and overused.

Anamorphic optics are a bad solution to a problem that no longer exists.

[@ghostapi874]

The difference between the 18mm and the suriu is so subtle I do not really see the point in investing in them if you already have good glass. Especially on the pocket 4k where you shoot wide screen resolution in camera. The flares are beautiful but esthetically i’d only use that in a scifi project. For normal projects i’d rather something more organic like orange flares.

[@felizeamor4028]

the framing doesnt change but you missed the whole point of anamorphic lenses. The vertical stretch which produces oval bokeh and anamorphic lens flares which you won't get with any other lens.

[@ghostapi874]

@@felizeamor4028 You barely get oval bokeh on 1.33. The 24 does impress much more with flaring, the 35 and 50 are unfortunately rather subtle. My point is the thing people like about anamorphic just isn’t prominent enough which leaves the aspect ratio as the remaining benefit. The value in gear is not what we as film makers are able to distinguish but rather the client.

[@wojciechkopec9728]

I was close to preorder it but last minute I change my mind thinking of getting something like 1.8x

So the 24mm on a aps-c sensor is about 36mm equiv FF. So the the FF equivalent of this 24mm lens on a aps-c sensor would be 27mm? Am I right? And in Micro-Loser-Thirds it would be 36mm equiv right? Btw. Nice shots of the ladies in the city :) Love the colours :)

[@TomAntos]

Thanks! The lens is 24mm with 1.33 horizontal stretch so its actually 18mm equivalent on a regular spherical. This doesn’t change regardless of what camera you are using. So if you want to see how wide the final shot will look on your camera with the crop factor then just put a regular 18mm lens on your camera.
