🎥 Sirui 20mm f/1.8 Anamorphic Review – Perfect for YouTube Creators? If you've been looking for that cinematic anamorphic look with autofocus, the Sirui 20mm f/1.8 might just be the lens you've been waiting for. In this video, I take it for a spin across studio setups and outdoor locations around Fort Lauderdale Beach and Downtown to see how it performs in real-world YouTube, vlogging, and filmmaking situations. For the past month, this has been my go-to studio lens—and it's the only autofocus anamorphic lens currently available for Sony E-mount that truly works for solo content creators and YouTubers. With responsive AF for slower-paced shooting, stunning blue flares, and a wide 20mm field of view, it's ideal for talking head videos, cinematic B-roll, and environmental vlogs.
