I tested the Sirui Astra 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm T1.8 autofocus anamorphic lenses to find out if they are worth the investment for solo creators. In this video, I put these "entry-level" anamorphic lenses against a standard full-frame setup (Sigma 50mm F1.2) with a simple letterbox crop. We also dive into the build quality, the "silver flare" neutral look, and how the autofocus performs on Lumix cameras. In this video: 0:00 - The Anamorphic Trend: Is it worth it? 0:50 - Build Quality: Metal construction & consistent filter sizes 1:40 - Why Anamorphic on Lumix?
