If you want to enter the anamorphic shooting world, B&H is running a massive deal on the SIRUI 24mm F/2.8 1.33x anamorphic lens! Indeed, for MFT and FUJIFILM X-mount shooters, you can save up to $500, while the Sony E-mount version is $400 off! Hurry up, as this deal ends in only a couple of hours!
The SIRUI 24mm F/2.8 1.33x anamorphic lens was announced in January 2021. In a nutshell, SIRUI 1.33x anamorphic lenses cover Super35 image sensors. They are relatively compact and lightweight and are available in various lens mounts, including Canon EF-M, Canon RF, FUJIFILM X, Leica L, MFT, Nikon Z, and Sony E-mount.
The 24mm is the largest of the 1.33x anamorphic set that consists of a 35mm and 50mm that we reviewed and a 75mm, all at F/2.8. I recently tried these myself and was pleasantly surprised by the build quality, lens sharpness, and overall image uniformity across the set.
If you’ve been watching these budget-friendly anamorphic lenses for quite some time, B&H is running a deal that might make you pull the trigger!
For FUJIFILM X-Mount and MFT shooters, you can get the SIRUI 24mm F/2.8 1.33x anamorphic for only $499 instead of $999, which is an instant savings of $500! This will be a sweet addition to your kit for music video shooters running and gunning with a Panasonic GH5/GH6!
If you’re a Sony shooter, there’s also a limited $400 discount, so the lens will only cost you $599. If you pair this lens with a cinema camera such as the Sony FX30, that’s an affordable way to add subtle character to your footage!
These deals end in less than 17 hours (March 6th at 11:59 pm Eastern Time) and only while supplies last. So if you want to start building a solid, affordable and rental-friendly lens set, don’t sit too long on that opportunity!
Did you ever shoot with SIRUI 1.33x anamorphic lenses? Do you think it’s a good deal to grab one for less than $500? Don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments down below!
