SIRUI Venus 50mm T2.9 1.6x Full-Frame Anamorphic Lens
The cheapest new full-frame anamorphic lens we found. The 1.6x squeeze gives a much stronger anamorphic look than the 1.33x line, with low vignetting on full frame, at the cost of a heavy, long barrel.

Caveats
- Heavy at 2.27 lb and long; not a run-and-gun lens.
- 1.6x is not in most cameras' de-squeeze menus (Sony FX3/FX30 have it on recent firmware; Panasonic offers 1.5x and 1.8x), so you may preview squeezed or use a monitor.
- Reviewers note focus breathing and slight distortion, and a warm color cast.
- Manual focus only.
Affiliate link: if you buy through it, the merchant pays us a commission at no cost to you; that commission pays for the cart tests behind every code here. Price, availability and each code were checked on the merchant's own US store on the dates shown; they change, so the store's checkout is the source of truth. Full disclosure.
