The most comprehensive course on anamorphic lenses has just been released on MZed, and we’re celebrating by launching a giveaway featuring a SIRUI 50mm T2.9 full frame anamorphic lens worth $1,499.

Tito Ferradans has become quite a legend for his pure devotion to anamorphic shooting. Over the course of many years, he has released countless lens and adapter reviews, history lessons on cinemascope, how-to guides and buying recommendations, and even a comprehensive book on shooting “Anamorphic on a Budget.”

Now, he’s compiled his lessons into one easily digestible course on MZed, along with a brand-new exclusive 1-hour interview on all the newest developments on anamorphic technology and getting that desired cinematic look, and a behind-the-scenes bonus lesson, and the companion eBook “Anamorphic on a Budget” (a $25 value) offered free to MZed Pro members. Welcome to the Anamorphic Cookbook.

The total length of the course is almost 4 hours, and after learning from the master of anamorphic shooting, you’ll be an expert on getting the most cinematic-looking results!

The Giveaway Prize: SIRUI 50mm T2.9 Full Frame Anamorphic Lens

We are excited to be partnering up with SIRUI for this New Course Giveaway, as the SIRUI 50mm T2.9 Full Frame Anamorphic Lens has quickly become one of the most popular and affordable anamorphic solutions in the market.

The lens covers a Full-Frame format, and with a maximum aperture of T2.9, good performances even in low-light environments are ensured.

Its squeeze factor of 1.6x results in a 2.8:1 aspect ratio when paired with a 16:9 sensor, and 2.4:1 when shooting in 3:2 mode. This squeeze factor maximizes the sensor resolution and provides the classic blue light streaks.

The lens is available in four mount options: RF-Mount for Canon/RED KOMODO, L-Mount for Leica/Panasonic/SIGMA, E-Mount for Sony and Z-Mount for Nikon.

If you’re not familiar with this lens, head on over to our review of this lens, together with the Panasonic LUMIX BS1H. If you are interested to know how this lens performed together with RED KOMODO, check out our review here.
