I am currently prepping a short film set in the 1980s and I have narrowed my lens choice down to two specific options from Sirui. Because I am shooting on a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) sensor, these are really the only two paths that make sense for the specific look I need.

I am stuck between the Sirui 35mm f/1.8 Anamorphic (1.33x) and the Sirui Nightwalker 35mm T1.2.

Since I am on an MFT mount, my options are fairly limited if I want native glass that doesn't require a bulky adapter setup. Both of these lenses fit the mount perfectly, but they offer completely different vibes.

For those of you who have shot period pieces or used these lenses on MFT sensors, which one would you pick for a 1980s setting? Is the anamorphic squeeze worth the extra work in post, or should I go for the speed of the Nightwalker and just use filters to get the vintage look?
