Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Sirui Venus 75mm T2.9 Anamorphic is a manual-focus full-frame anamorphic cine telephoto prime. Sirui’s page gives per-mount figures, and the L-Mount ones are entered: 1,365 g, 153.5 mm long (rounded to 154 mm) and 88 mm across, with an 82 mm filter thread, a 0.85 m minimum focus distance, a maximum magnification of 1:10.15 in the vertical direction, 10 aperture blades and a T2.9 to T16 aperture range; Sirui makes no weather sealing claim. Sirui’s US store lists the single-lens L-Mount selection at a regular, crossed-out price of $1,499, with a sale price of $499 beside it. As of Oct 2026, few reviews have been written and three videos are linked. NO limits ON’s video description covers its build quality, kit and features, the aspect ratio after de-squeezing, an inconsistent squeeze factor, sharpness, distortion, vignette, flares, chromatic aberrations, focus breathing and oval bokeh. David Zhou’s video, which covers the Venus 35mm, 50mm and 75mm, says in its description that the lenses feel like a cheat code for a more cinematic look. Danny Bligh’s video description discusses its blue flares and de-squeezing and asks whether it is an underrated lens, and his title calls it the lens he did not expect to love.
From SIRUI:
The common aspect ratios of most mirrorless camera sensors are 3:2 and 16:9. If you shoot in 3:2 mode, you’ll get a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. Otherwise on a 16:9 image sensor, you’ll end up with a much wider 2.8:1 aspect ratio.
Point the lens at a light source to get a horizontal blue lens flare that the anamorphic lens is famous for. The subtle and natural blue streaks stand out for adding a Sci-Fi ambiance to your shots without being too aggressive.
Due to the 1.6x squeeze factor, light spots in the distance are vertically stretched into pleasing oval bokeh.
Distance is not a thing to worry about. When shooting with this lens, things in the distance seem to be zoomed in to form a close connection with the subject, offering a unique sense of compression.
Given the rise in popularity of full-frame mirrorless cameras, this lens offers four native mounts, including RF, L, E, and Z mounts, compatible with most full-frame mirrorless and cinema cameras on the market.
Specifications are from the image spec table on Sirui’s page, which gives per-mount weight and length; the L-Mount figures are used (length 153.5 mm rounded to 154 mm), and diameter is the 88 mm maximum diameter, equal to the focus ring. The 0.1 maximum magnification is the vertical 1:10.15 figure (the table also gives 1:15.66 horizontal). Sirui’s page gives no diagonal angle of view, only the horizontal field of view of a 46mm spherical lens, so the field is left out. The price is the regular, crossed-out price of the 75mm / L variant. The product image is Sirui’s picture of the E-mount version.
