Sirui Astra Series T1.8 1.33x 75mm Full-Frame Anamorphic 75mm
A fast T1.9 aperture, 18-blade diaphragm, and 1.5x anamorphic squeeze deliver oval bokeh and distinct blue flares on full-frame sensors, backed by 19 elements in 16 groups. Interchangeable ARRI PL/Canon EF mount and industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears with 270° focus rotation enable precise, repeatable manual focus pulls. Portrait videographers and independent filmmakers shooting intimate scenes will benefit from its 75mm focal length (50mm horizontal equivalent), though the 1180g weight limits portability.
