Sirui IronStar Series IronStar Series 75 75mm
This three-lens anamorphic set spans 75–135mm with a fast T1.9 aperture, full-frame coverage, and an interchangeable ARRI PL/Canon EF mount. The neutral flare coating produces clean, character-rich images without strong colored artifacts, and the included circular polarizer and variable ND filter enhance on-set versatility. It’s ideal for independent filmmakers and portrait shooters who need anamorphic squeeze and cinematic depth of field at a relatively accessible cost.
