The SIRUI 1.25x anamorphic adapter adds wider, characterful framing to compatible existing lenses without replacing an entire prime-lens set. It offers filmmakers a way to explore a constant anamorphic squeeze, including combinations with certain existing anamorphic optics.
Anamorphic options for existing optics
A 1.25x constant squeeze widens the horizontal perspective after de-squeezing. Combined with a 1.6x anamorphic lens, it creates a 2.0x squeeze for a more pronounced anamorphic look. The adapter provides front-mounted focusing, so the base lens is normally set to infinity during use.
Compatibility and focusing
The adapter uses an 82 mm rear thread, and different step rings can help match compatible lens filter diameters. Users should check clearances and compatibility carefully before pairing it with a lens, particularly at wider focal lengths.
At approximately 650 g, the front-mounted adapter can be integrated into a deliberate handheld or supported setup. Combined with a suitable 1.6x anamorphic prime, the optical arrangement can deliver a 2x squeeze, making it useful for filmmakers who need an alternative to a fixed anamorphic lens system.
