SIRUI has launched the Saturn V2, a full-frame 1.6x anamorphic lens series with a 90-degree rotating mount for switching between horizontal and vertical shooting. Priced from $599.
SIRUI has launched the Saturn V2, a full-frame anamorphic lens series built on its original Saturn design. The new lenses add a 90-degree rotating mechanism that lets filmmakers switch between horizontal and vertical shooting while keeping the anamorphic squeeze direction consistent, without changing lenses.
The series carries a 1.6x anamorphic squeeze ratio with full-frame coverage, giving a wider horizontal field of view alongside the series' oval bokeh and anamorphic flares. A T2.9 variable aperture gives control over exposure and depth of field.
In horizontal orientation, SIRUI positions the lenses for film, documentary, narrative, advertising and music video work; rotated, they produce a wide-screen vertical image aimed at short-form and social content.
The three lenses, 35mm, 50mm and 75mm, share a unified 62mm filter thread and standardized follow-focus gear position, reducing accessory duplication across a multi-camera or multi-focal-length set. Build is all-metal, and SIRUI says the lenses are light enough for handheld and gimbal use as well as supported rigs.
