The Sirui 75mm F1. 8 1. 33x telephoto anamorphic lens is currently listed on Indiegogo, where 500 ‘Super Early Bird’ pledges are still available for $669. Sirui says the lens will retail for $899.

The first units are expected to ship in June 2021, suggesting Sirui has at least a large portion of the lenses in hand and ready to ship at the end of the crowdfunding campaign, which has 30 days left. While there’s always some level of risk with crowdfunding campaigns, Sirui has used Indiegogo for its past anamorphic lenses and has delivered them to backers with minimal issues.
