One lens, two cinematic looks – Sirui’s Saturn V2 is built for vertical and horizontal video

These new Sirui anamorphic lenses could be perfect for the content creation generation

Sirui has unveiled its innovative Saturn V2 anamorphic lens series at the Shanghai P&I Expo, which could prove to be a game-changer for content creators. The full-frame lenses, launching in September, come in 35mm T2.9, 50mm T2.9, and 75mm T2.9 options and will be compatible with Sony E, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, and L-Mount cameras.

The standout feature is Sirui's new rotatable optical structure, allowing seamless switching between horizontal and vertical shooting modes without compromising the signature anamorphic look. This versatility makes the lenses ideal for creators juggling conventional cinematic formats and the growing popularity of vertical video.

With a 1.6x anamorphic squeeze ratio, T2.9 maximum aperture, and a standardized 62mm filter thread, the Saturn V2 lenses boast a compact design perfect for smaller mirrorless cameras, gimbals, and lightweight rigs. If Sirui's claims hold true, the Saturn V2 series could be a highly anticipated addition to their anamorphic lens lineup, offering a unique solution for hybrid creators in the ever-evolving world of content creation.
