Sirui focuses on AF anamorphics
Posted on Jan 23, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker
Sirui is set to shake up the filmmaking industry with the launch of its Astra series, the world’s first full-frame 1.33x autofocus anamorphic lenses to feature a constant T1.8 aperture
After last year’s breakthrough Super 35 AF anamorphics, the new trio of 50, 75 and 100mm Astra lenses bring true cinematic scope to full-frame mirrorless systems, while remaining compact, light and affordable.
Each lens produces the hallmark widescreen look, oval bokeh and horizontal flares of big-budget cinema. The constant T1.8 aperture unlocks lowlight performance, while also enabling an ultra-shallow depth-of-field rarely seen in lenses this portable. Weighing between 600 and 700g, they are small enough for gimbals, travel rigs and handheld work. Pricing starts at $799 for each.
The improved AF system is smooth, fast and reliable, ideal for unpredictable run-and-gun shooting. A control switch toggles between AF and MF and a clearly marked focus scale ensures compatibility with follow focus and LiDAR systems for precise manual work.
The new Astra lenses are available in Sony E-mount, Nikon Z mount and Leica L-Mount, in either classic blue or neutral streak flare options.
