SIRUI Venus 5 Lens Kit - E Mount

The 1.6x squeeze factor allows you to capture a wider field of view horizontally, enabling you to achieve a cinematic widescreen aspect ratio (like 2.35:1) when de-squeezed in post-production. It also contributes to the characteristic oval bokeh and anamorphic flares.

Yes, these lenses are designed for full-frame coverage, meaning they will work on Sony APS-C E-mount cameras. However, please note that the effective focal length will be cropped due to the smaller sensor size.

No, the de-squeeze process is typically done in post-production editing software. You will need to select the appropriate de-squeeze setting for your footage to display it in the correct aspect ratio.

A 2x anamorphic squeeze effect can be achieved by using the optional 1.25x adapter, which, when combined with the lens's native 1.6x squeeze, results in an overall 2x horizontal squeeze.

No, the SIRUI Venus 5-Lens Set features manual focus only. This allows for precise control over focus pulling, which is often preferred in professional filmmaking.

The blue streak effect is a stylistic signature of anamorphic lenses, creating prominent blue flares when bright light sources are in the frame. It's a visual element used to enhance the cinematic quality and mood of the footage.

The hard-shell case is designed for robust protection, offering a durable exterior to safeguard the lenses from impacts, dust, and moisture during travel and storage.

Verify that you are using a Sony E-mount camera. Ensure the red mounting dots on the lens and camera align correctly. Check for any debris on the lens mount or camera mount that might be obstructing the connection.

This is the intended anamorphic effect. If you require a standard aspect ratio, you will need to de-squeeze the footage in post-production software. Consult your editing software's documentation for anamorphic de-squeeze settings.

Ensure the focus ring is set to manual focus. Carefully adjust the focus ring while observing your camera's display or using focus peaking if available. Confirm that the subject is within the lens's depth of field and that the lens is properly mounted.

The intensity of flares depends on the light source. Position the light source to create the desired flare effect. If flares are absent, ensure the light is hitting the front element appropriately. For very intense flares, consider using ND filters to control exposure without affecting the light source's characteristics.
