Description
The Sirui Saturn 75mm T2.9 1.6x Carbon Fiber Full-Frame Anamorphic Lens is a compact, lightweight anamorphic cinema lens designed for filmmakers looking to achieve a distinctive widescreen cinematic look with full-frame cameras. Featuring a 75mm focal length, T2.9 maximum aperture and 1.6x anamorphic squeeze ratio, the lens combines a tighter perspective with the characteristic visual qualities of anamorphic optics, including oval bokeh and horizontal streak flares.
Designed for Canon RF-mount cameras, the Saturn 75mm provides full-frame coverage and produces a horizontal field of view equivalent to approximately a 47mm spherical full-frame lens. The 1.6x squeeze ratio creates a wider horizontal perspective while maintaining the compressed perspective associated with a 75mm focal length. When shooting in 16:9, the image can be de-squeezed to an approximately 2.8:1 aspect ratio, while 3:2 capture produces an approximately 2.4:1 final image.
The lens features a carbon fiber front barrel, helping keep the overall weight to approximately 494g. Its compact and lightweight construction makes it particularly suitable for handheld, gimbal, stabilizer and other mobile cinema setups where reducing camera weight is important.
The Saturn 75mm features fully manual focus and iris control, with a 120° focus rotation and standard 0.8 MOD cinema gearing for compatibility with professional follow-focus systems. Its 14-blade aperture produces smooth, oval-shaped bokeh, while the neutral flare design creates horizontal streaks that retain a natural appearance based on the light source.

Classic Anamorphic Cinematic Look
The Saturn 75mm is designed to deliver the distinctive characteristics associated with anamorphic cinematography. Its 1.6x squeeze ratio creates an expanded horizontal field of view while producing the elongated highlights, oval bokeh and horizontal streak effects associated with anamorphic lenses.
The neutral flare version provides horizontal streaks without imposing a strong coloured flare, giving filmmakers greater flexibility when working with practical lights, headlights and other bright sources within the frame. The constant 1.6x squeeze ratio also maintains consistent anamorphic rendering throughout the focus range.
The 75mm focal length is well suited to portraits, close-ups, medium shots, narrative scenes, commercials and music videos, providing subject separation and a more compressed perspective while retaining the characteristic anamorphic widescreen aesthetic.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
Despite its cinema-oriented design, the Saturn 75mm remains relatively compact and lightweight. Its carbon fiber front barrel helps reduce the overall weight while maintaining a durable construction, making it easier to incorporate into handheld rigs, gimbals and stabilizers. At approximately 494g, it is well suited to productions where camera mobility is important.
