Sirui says a 2.4:1 ratio can be attainable after desqueezing, however to attain this footage must be recorded within the 3:2 format—although that shall be straightforward for stills photographers. When used on a 4:3 sensor space the desqueezed footage will tackle the two.13:1 side ratio. The horizontal ‘angle-of-view’ you might be left with in your last movie will depend upon the crop you utilize to suit your meant side ratio, and people taking pictures in 16:9 for a last 2.4:1 movie will discover the impact of the horizontal ‘focal size’ considerably longer than the said 47mm.

The lens makes use of 15 parts in 13 teams, has its anamorphic group on the entrance of the development and passes the sunshine by a 10-bladed iris.
