Description

SIRUI Astra 1.33x anamorphic lens hire in London — a three-lens set at 50mm, 75mm and 100mm, all T1.8, full-frame, Sony E mount, and unusually for anamorphic, they autofocus. Available to hire in central London. Anamorphic normally means manual focus and someone dedicated to pulling it. The Astra set doesn't. You get the 1.33x squeeze, the oval bokeh and the horizontal flares, with working autofocus and face tracking behind them — which makes anamorphic viable on a two-person crew, on a gimbal move, or on a documentary setup where nobody can stop to pull focus. 1.33x on a 16:9 sensor gives roughly 2.4:1 without cropping, so you shoot scope using the full sensor height instead of throwing pixels away. WHAT'S INCLUDED All three Astra primes at 50mm, 75mm and 100mm, front and rear caps, carry case. Lens hoods aren't included as standard — most shoots don't use them and they're the item most often lost. Ask when you book and I'll add them at no charge. SPECS Focal lengths: 50mm, 75mm, 100mm Aperture: T1.8 across the set Squeeze: 1.33x Coverage: full-frame Mount: Sony E Focus: autofocus with manual override Character: oval bokeh, horizontal flare WHAT PEOPLE HIRE THEM FOR Music videos. Short film and narrative that wants a scope frame on a small crew. Commercials and brand films. Fashion. Frequently hired for wedding films chasing a cinema look without a dedicated AC. Any London shoot where anamorphic was off the table because of the focus overhead. ALSO AVAILABLE I also hire out the DZOFilm Arcana and Laowa Proteus 2x anamorphics if you want a stronger squeeze and a more traditional manual-focus cine build. PACKING Every anamorphic lens hire in London goes out in a hard case or padded bag. If you need it packed a particular way, say so when you book.
