“But I’d be more inclined to use this lens for night photography. For example, I took night shots in Osaka with it and was very happy with the results. It feels like real cinema.”

“Sirui has continued to keep this autofocus series cinema-oriented. The gear rings are still in the same position on both the 20mm and 40mm.”

“Overall, this is an excellent lens in terms of handling and ease of use. Its compact size keeps it close to the camera body, it’s very easy to use on a gimbal, and it has a very well-balanced center of gravity.”

“Sirui releasing a second autofocus anamorphic lens relatively soon after the first model tells me they’re serious about this. It gives me hope that we’ll see more lenses like this in the future.”
