According to our camera lens expert
The Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic Fujifilm X-mount is a portrait lens for your Fujifilm mirrorless camera. You can manually focus with this lens, so you can determine your focus point very accurately. With the f/1.8 aperture, you create a natural bokeh that separates your model from the background. This large aperture makes the lens light-sensitive and suitable for photographing in different light situations. You can use it in dark locations, for example. The lens weighs 553 grams, so you can effortlessly take it with you on the go. The design is splash proof, so you don't have to worry about a light rain shower when you're out somewhere. The lens creates cinematic video images thanks to the widescreen effect. This effect widens your horizontal image angle by 33%.

Very nice lens for someone looking for an anamorphic lens without breaking the bank. Does what you expect: very fine, oval bokeh; blue lens flare; nice contrast between in focus and background;... so that every image — photo and video — has a cinematic atmosphere. In short: a nice lens to have in your kit!
For beginners it probably requires a bit of adjustment: it is a lens that you have to control completely manually, but once you are used to this, you get a lot in return. There are no clicks or hard stops on the f-ring, so in the beginning it takes some getting used to which distances you do with the ring to determine your focal length without having to look at the lens every now and then.
As with any anamorphic lens, you have to de-squeeze the images. It doesn't matter that they are squeezed onto your view finder or screen, you can focus perfectly and you see everything that comes on your image, it just has a bit of a "pressed together" impression. Then an external monitor with a de-squeeze function is nice to have, but not necessary at all to get started with this lens.
Very happy with this purchase. I had expected to use it mainly for video images, but I find that I also like to use this lens for photos. You can create beautiful atmospheric images with it, and the depth that you can obtain in portrait photography gives this lens that little bit of extra punch that I can't find in any other lens.
It remains a 'niche' lens and it will certainly not be for everyone, but if you like to experiment, or you like cinematic effects and/or you are involved with both video images and photography, this is definitely recommended!
