SIRUI Venus 75mm T2.9 1.6x Full-Frame Anamorphic [Sony E Mount]

The SIRUI Venus 75mm T2.9 1.6x Full-Frame Anamorphic is a telephoto-leaning cinema prime for Sony E-mount cameras, designed for full-frame anamorphic filmmaking. Its 1.6× horizontal squeeze combines the perspective compression of a 75 mm lens with a significantly wider de-squeezed image, making it especially effective for portraits, close-ups and medium shots where strong subject separation is desirable. Like the other Venus lenses, it produces stretched oval bokeh and characteristic horizontal blue flare.

Compressed perspective with a wider anamorphic frame

The 75 mm focal length gives the image more perspective compression than the 35 mm and 50 mm versions, helping isolate actors and details from the background. At the same time, the 1.6× anamorphic squeeze expands the horizontal field of view after de-squeezing. SIRUI specifies a full-frame horizontal angle of view of approximately 46 degrees, allowing the lens to frame tighter subjects without feeling as narrow as a conventional 75 mm spherical lens.

Blue streaks and pronounced oval bokeh

A 10-blade iris produces elongated oval bokeh, while coated anamorphic elements create horizontal blue streaks around bright sources. On the longer 75 mm focal length, these characteristics can become especially visible because the shallower depth of field increases separation between the subject and background. The result is well suited to portraits, beauty work, narrative close-ups and stylized commercial shots where the anamorphic character should remain obvious.

T2.9 aperture for controlled depth of field

The lens opens to T2.9 and closes to T16. Combined with the longer focal length, T2.9 provides relatively shallow depth of field and strong subject separation on full-frame cameras. The lens is entirely manual and does not provide autofocus, electronic communication or optical stabilization. Focus rotation is approximately 95.5 degrees, making it suitable for direct manual operation or use with a follow-focus system.

0.85 m minimum focus distance

Despite its 75 mm focal length, the Venus can focus down to approximately 0.85 m. This allows relatively tight framing without requiring a large working distance, which is useful for close-up narrative and product shots. The optical design consists of 15 elements in 13 groups, while metric and imperial focus markings help camera assistants work with either measurement system.

82 mm front and cinema-oriented housing

The 82 mm front filter thread matches the other common Venus focal lengths, making it easier to share screw-in filtration. The all-metal housing includes a 1/4″-20 lens-support point and weighs approximately 1.37 kg in the Sony E version, so rod-based lens support can be useful in larger camera builds. The focus and iris control layout is designed to remain consistent across the Venus line, helping reduce rigging changes when swapping focal lengths.
