The Sirui IronStar 45mm T1.9 1.5x Anamorphic Cine Lens (PL/EF) combines classic anamorphic aesthetics with modern optical technology. With a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, full-frame coverage and bright T1.9 aperture, this lens gives filmmakers the ability to create images with stunning breadth, character and cinematic depth - without compromise.
The IronStar 45mm delivers true anamorphic image quality with a 1.5x compression factor that creates wide 2.25:1 (3:2 mode) and 2.66:1 (16:9 mode) images. This combination of width and natural imaging makes it ideal for narrative films, music videos, commercials and documentaries.
With a horizontal field of view equivalent to 30mm at full frame, the 45mm version captures both environment and subject in harmonious balance. It's ideal for portraits, reportage, interior scenes and natural cinematic compositions where proximity and atmosphere need to be combined in the same frame.
The fast T1.9 aperture delivers great results even in low light, producing soft bokeh with rich color reproduction. Vertical blur seamlessly transitions to horizontal anamorphic effects for an aesthetically pleasing image with depth and realism.
The Sirui IronStar 45mm consists of 19 elements in 14 groups including ED, HRI, aspherical and cylindrical lens elements. The result is sharp, color-correct images with minimal optical errors and high contrast. Almost non-existent focus breathing ensures stability during focus shifts, making it ideal for professional film production.
The IronStar series offers Blue Flare for a classic sci-fi look and Neutral Flare for more natural light rendering. Both create a unique cinematic feel depending on the tone and style of the production.
The lens comes with both PL and EF mounts and you can easily switch between them with the included tool. The innovative back focus adjustment allows you to fine-tune the flange distance quickly, without having to disassemble the lens.
Weighing less than 1 kg and with a front diameter of 95 mm, the IronStar 45mm is perfectly suited for gimbal, steadicam and matte box. It features a 270° focus ring, dual markings (meter/foot) and robust metal construction for reliable use on set.
