Sirui 75mm T1.8 Astra 1.33x AF Anamorphic Review

The Sirui 75mm T1.8 Astra 1.33x AF Anamorphic is an autofocus anamorphic lens priced at $849, positioning it in the accessible tier of specialty glass for video creators. Anamorphic lenses traditionally deliver the cinematic widescreen look with horizontal lens flares and oval bokeh, and a 1.33x squeeze ratio offers a middle ground between standard spherical and full 2x anamorphic optics, making it practical for 16:9 delivery with moderate cropping.

At 75mm with a fast T1.8 aperture, this lens should provide a portrait-friendly field of view with shallow depth of field on APS-C and full-frame sensors. The inclusion of autofocus is notable in the anamorphic category, where manual-only designs have long been the norm, especially at this price point. This lens fits creators looking for anamorphic character without the expense or manual focus workflow of traditional cinema glass. It appears to be available for popular mirrorless mounts.
