Cinema Lens Care and MaintenanceRead More By B&H Photo’sMary LatvisThe Leica L mount 75mm T2.9 Anamorphic 1.6x Lens, from Sirui, fills a theater screen with rich detail, cinematic bokeh, and artistic lens flairs. This full-frame lens produces oval bokeh and horizontal blue streaks, giving your footage a dreamy or science fiction aesthetic. An image captured in 16:9 is de-squeezed to an anamorphic 2.8:1 aspect ratio, whereas shooting in 3:2 yields a 2.4:1 final image. Its T2.9 aperture produces a shallow depth of field, blurring everything in front or behind the specifically chosen focal plane. This 75mm features female 1/4″-20 threading for a lens support, and its focus and aperture rings are uniformly geared like its 50mm companion for use with a follow focus and lens control systems.Full-Frame CoverageThis 75mm lens provides coverage for full-frame cameras with a wider 2.8:1 aspect ratio in 16:9 and a 2.4:1 aspect ratio when shooting 3:2. Use it to create crisp widescreen looks with exceptionally sharp subjects and soft and natural backgrounds.Anamorphic Field of ViewThe anamorphic design with a 1.6x squeeze factor creates a horizontal angle of view equal to 46mm on a spherical lens, making it suitable for general usage.
