Description and Reviews

The Sirui Saturn 75mm T2.9 Carbon Fiber Anamorphic lens is part of SIRUI’s innovative Saturn series, designed specifically for full-frame cameras with L-Mount. This telephoto anamorphic lens delivers cinematic storytelling capabilities with its distinctive 1.6x squeeze ratio and carbon fiber construction that keeps weight under 500g.

Key Features

Anamorphic Excellence

  • 1.6x Squeeze Ratio: Creates classic cinematic aspect ratios of 2.4:1 (from 3:2 sensors) and 2.8:1 (from 16:9 sensors)
  • Oval Bokeh: Distinctive elongated bokeh characteristics that separate subjects from backgrounds
  • Lens Flares: Available in both classic blue and neutral flare options for different creative moods

Build Quality & Design

  • Carbon Fiber Front Barrel: Ultra-lightweight construction without compromising durability
  • Aspherical Elements: High precision glass molding reduces weight while maintaining optical quality
  • Matched Color Tones: Consistent color rendition across the Saturn series for seamless lens swapping

Professional Features

  • 62mm Filter Thread: Standard filter compatibility shared with the Saturn 50mm
  • 120° Focus Ring Rotation: Precise manual focus control for professional cinematography
  • Identical Gear Position: Consistent with other Saturn lenses for easy follow focus setup

Technical Performance

The 75mm focal length provides a natural telephoto perspective equivalent to approximately 47mm horizontally after desqueezing. This makes it ideal for portraits, interviews, and medium shots where subject isolation is crucial. The T2.9 aperture provides excellent low-light performance while the anamorphic compression creates a strong sense of depth.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for:

  • Portrait Cinematography: Natural telephoto compression with anamorphic character
  • Commercial Productions: Professional build quality with distinctive visual style
  • Documentary Work: Lightweight design for handheld and gimbal operation
  • Creative Projects: Unique anamorphic look for artistic storytelling

The Saturn 75mm T2.9 completes the telephoto end of the Saturn trilogy, offering filmmakers a comprehensive anamorphic solution that balances professional performance with exceptional portability.
