SIRUI has just introduced two new versions of their compact, lightweight full-frame anamorphic lens – the Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6x – to fit FUJIFILM X-Mount and Leica L-Mount cameras. The lens is available with two different flares, blue or neutral, and can be pre-ordered for $1.299. Let’s have a closer look!

In November last year, SIRUI launched their most compact, full-frame, anamorphic lens to date: the SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6x. At that time this fantastic carbon fiber anamorphic lens was only available for Sony E, Canon RF and DJI’s DL mount.

SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6x – key features

FUJIFILM X-Mount and Leica L-Mount options

Now the company is making the lens available for FUJIFILM X-mount and Leica L-mount users, too. This means you can natively mount it on FUJIFILM cameras like the X-H2, X-H2S, or X-T5.

Or if you’d rather use a Panasonic camera, like the LUMIX S1H, S5, BGH1, or the Sigma FP camera, for example, you can now get yourself a lightweight carbon-made anamorphic lens to go handheld, on a gimbal, or even for use on a drone for your next project.

Price and availability

The X-mount and L-mount variants of the SIRUI Saturn 35mm T2.9 1.6x can be pre-ordered from SIRUI’s online shop for $1.299. Shipping will start on March 18, 2023. The lens is available in 4 different versions:

• Saturn L35B – blue flare (L-Mount)
• Saturn L35N – neutral flare (L-Mount)
• Saturn X35B – blue flare (X-Mount)
• Saturn X35N – neutral flare (X-Mount)
