Sirui IronStar Series IRON3SN292A 35mm
Why we recommend this ▼
A constant T1.9 aperture spans the 35mm, 45mm, and 60mm focal lengths on full-frame sensors, with interchangeable ARRI PL/Canon EF mounts and uniform 95mm front diameters for quick lens swaps. The neutral flare optical design and included circular polarizer and variable ND filter provide baked-in cinematic character and immediate lighting control without extra rigging. This set suits indie filmmakers and video shooters producing narrative or portrait work who need a cohesive anamorphic look across three focal lengths.
Laowa Proteus Proteus 2x Anamorphic 20mm T2 20mm
Canon APO Mini Prime Du 21mm
Why we recommend this ▼
The Dulens APO Mini Prime set spans 21-110mm with T2.4-T2.6 apertures, full-frame coverage, and apochromatic correction for low chromatic aberration. All six lenses share an 80mm front diameter, 72mm filter thread, and 0.8 MOD gears, plus coatings that produce a smooth vintage look. Ideal for indie filmmakers on a budget who need a consistent, characterful prime set for Canon EF-mount cameras.
Laowa Proteus Flex 2x Anamorphic 20mm T2 20mm
Why we recommend this ▼
A fast T2 aperture and classic 2x anamorphic squeeze deliver pronounced elliptical bokeh and a wide cinematic field of view on S35 sensors. Its interchangeable PL/EF mount and user-swappable amber, blue, silver, or clear flare modules offer uncommon creative flexibility for a lens in this class. This lens is best for indie filmmakers and cinematographers seeking authentic anamorphic character without the rental cost of vintage glass.
