Testing and breaking down SIRUI’s Astra, a full-frame autofocus anamorphic lens designed to bring a cinematic shooting experience into a more accessible and flexible workflow.

[ Longform ]

Approach ↘

I took SIRUI’s Astra through a hands-on deep dive for my YouTube channel, going beyond a typical product review to explore what the lens actually looks and feels like in use.

The video covers everything from the physical design and autofocus to the anamorphic characteristics, showing real footage captured with the lens and breaking down what makes the images different.

Alongside the review, I shared practical tips on shooting and editing anamorphic footage, giving viewers a better understanding of how to get the most out of the lens and incorporate its look into their own work.
