Live prices and creator coverage for the Sirui 40mm T1.8 1.33x S35 AF Anamorphic DX - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the Sirui 40mm T1.8 1.33x S35 AF Anamorphic DX
The Sirui 40mm T1.8 1.33x S35 AF Anamorphic DX is an affordable anamorphic lens that brings the cinematic widescreen look to Super 35 and APS-C sensor cameras. At $599, it represents one of the most accessible entry points into anamorphic shooting for indie filmmakers and content creators. The 1.33x squeeze factor delivers a 2.39:1 aspect ratio when de-squeezed, while the T1.8 aperture provides solid low-light capability and shallow depth of field. The inclusion of autofocus is particularly noteworthy in this price bracket, as most budget anamorphic glass is manual focus only. The 40mm focal length (roughly 60mm full-frame equivalent on APS-C) sits in a versatile middle ground suitable for portraits, product work, and narrative scenes.
- Extremely affordable for an anamorphic lens at $599
- Autofocus capability rare at this price point
- 1.33x squeeze delivers cinematic 2.39:1 widescreen aspect
- T1.8 aperture for low light and shallow depth of field
- Practical 40mm focal length for APS-C sensors
- S35/APS-C coverage only, not full-frame
- 1.33x squeeze less dramatic than 2x anamorphic
