  "account": "Anamorphic lenses have seen a resurgence in recent years, prompting manufacturers to produce more affordable options with varying squeeze factors. This has allowed filmmakers to create projects with the distinctive look at a fraction of the cost. Sirui, a company well-regarded in the filmmaking community, has been producing anamorphic lenses and is now spearheading a change in lens technology to cater to the growing demand for vertical video content. The Saturn V2 lens line, featuring lenses in 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm T2.9, allows the lens/mount to be unlocked and rotated 90 degrees, addressing the limitations of traditional rotation which can result in frame edges, bokeh shapes and flares looking incorrect. Sirui offers these lenses in various mounts including Sony E, Canon RF and L-Mount, with options for L-Mount including 35mm, 50mm and 75mm T2.9. Priced at $599 / £529 / AU$749 for each lens, or $1,699 / £1,589 / $2,693 for the three-lens kit, these lenses offer excellent value for their image quality and performance.",
