How to Choose Your First Anamorphic Lens

Bella C |

An anamorphic lens is the height of sophistication for filmmaking, lending an easy-to-use but dramatic touch to any shot. Adding an anamorphic lens to your supplies ensures you get the most eye-catching, dramatic photos possible.

 Anamorphic Lens

The Most Popular Filming Camera on the Market

Film effects are crucial to ensure that the correct images are captured. Choosing the right lens to create an effect from the beginning allows for pure filmmaking capabilities that will translate to the shots of a lifetime.

 Camera

Anamorphic lenses allow for a distorted yet crisp image to be relayed into a film. They give a wider field of view, with a cinematic aspect ratio of 2.40:1 or 2.35:1. This immediately looks dramatic and polished from far away while creating a wide-angle to ensure the entire scene is on display for the audience.

 

When used with a close-up shot, the anamorphic lens offers a dramatic definition against a slightly blurry background. This effect is an automatic way to focus entirely on the subject while allowing the audience to experience the entire scene. It creates a visual effect that lends itself to storytelling.

 

This makes the anamorphic lens the most popular lens for filmmaking. The SIRUI anamorphic lens, in particular, offers a crisp, clear, wide shot that brings the drama for filming.

How to Choose Your First Anamorphic Lens

A typical anamorphic lens might be quite bulky and large, although the SIRUI anamorphic lens leverages state-of-the-art technology to offer a wide range of sizes. Therefore, it's crucial to consider the sensor size and mount of the camera you choose to use for filmmaking with the anamorphic lens.

Sensor Size

When shooting full-frame, APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, or larger, try to find a lens that covers the image circle of the sensor. This prevents extra vignetting near the edges of the frame.

Mount

The nice thing about an anamorphic lens is that you typically don’t have to worry about matching the lens to the native mount of your camera, as many are cross-compatible. You can also easily find lens adapters that allow switching and fitting.
