Description
SIRUI Sniper 16mm auto-focus lens offers a dynamic wide-angle perspective, allowing for more of the scene to be included in the frame, making it perfect for capturing vast environments and detailed foregrounds. As budget-friendly F1.2 AF lenses, it allows filmmakers to unleash creativity with a full set ready. 16mm F1.2 23mm F1.2 33mm F1.2 56mm F1.2 75mm F1.2 Why images are so soft at F1.2 wide open, especially for the 56mm? Stopping down to F1.8, the lens gives a good sharpness, which is a common solution for all other sharpness issues. Why images are sharp in the center but soft at the edge? SIRUI Sniper series lenses, feature with photography and video recording functions, presenting high sharpness in the center of the frame, with the corners a bit softer, making it a design characteristic for those lenses. Why do images have chromatic aberration at F1.2, especially for the 56mm? Those three lenses have relatively great control over the chromatic aberration to a rational range. Why do images have so much ghosting and flaring when shooting at a bright light? Using a filter on the lens solves those issues effectively. It is common among many lenses in the market that ghosting and flaring show in a bright light. As this is a large aperture lens, stopping down to a smaller aperture will be a good solution. SIRUI insists on the concept of manufacturing high-quality products with superior craftsmanship and innovative technology.

Great price and good quality in the budget
Color: Black
Size: 23mm for E Mount
If you are looking for a budget lens to start a new video project, this piece of glass has it all. Despite the fact that is APS and not for full frame, if you do your math calcs you may achieve a good 35mm equivalent with this 24mm aps-c on a full frame. Autofocus works good and sharpness is good all around. Most thing I like was the weight. Specially if you're covering a 5 or 6 hours event. It is lightweight. Not like my beloved Sigmas which weights a ton. Better yet, the price tag. This is af but Sirui has the famous nightwalker line in manual config and they are great overall.

Exceptional Sharpness & Fast Focus — Wow!
Color: Black
Size: 23mm for E Mount
This SIRUI Sniper 23mm F1.2 lens has completely upgraded my Sony APS‑C setup. The image quality is razor-sharp across the frame—ideal for portraits, landscapes, and everything in between. Autofocus is surprisingly fast and accurate, even in low light, thanks to the F1.2 aperture. That wide aperture also gives beautiful background blur and gorgeous low-light performance. The build feels solid and premium, solidifying its place in my bag. A standout lens that punches well above its price — highly recommended for anyone shooting with a Sony crop‑sensor camera! Value for money: Very affordable lens for the quality

Great value!
Color: White
Size: 33mm for E Mount
While the sniper series may not be the most clinically accurate from corner to corner, they are still excellent lenses with very good build quality. The auto focus is very good and I have not had any issues with focus breathing. Chromatic aberration is well controlled though not absent. Great value!

Fun Lens
Color: Black
Size: 56mm for E Mount
I use this lens with my A7s III and it gave me some nice pictures. When it came to videos, there's lots of focus breathing and the image can be great or so so. The more light, the better it functions.

Best budget prime lens option with stunning image quality
Color: Black
Size: 75mm for E Mount
This lens is not the fastest or most accurate when it comes to autofocus, but it performs at a reasonably comfortable level for everyday use. It’s good enough for most situations, just don’t expect top-tier AF performance. Sharpness is solid, but the real highlight is the image quality. It produces a truly beautiful picture, especially for portrait photography. I was hesitant about f/1.2 lenses because of the typically shallow depth of field and often poor sharpness when shooting wide open. However, this lens performs impressively at f/1.2, delivering a good level of sharpness while also producing beautiful background blur and bokeh. I’m really happy to see this level of image quality on my crop Sony a6700. I also appreciate the 67mm filter thread, which meant I didn’t have to buy new filters or adapters. That’s a small but very practical advantage. The weight feels comfortable, but the width is less so. The space between the camera grip and the lens is quite tight, making it a bit awkward for fingers to fit comfortably. Overall, the image quality and character easily outweigh these minor downsides. It is worth every dollar spent on it.

Far better than expected for Zoom and WebEx. Professional results
Color: White
Size: 16mm for E Mount
Crazy, I really had doubts with this lens. First, I'm using a Sony A-6100 as my body and this is my setup for Zoom, Webex and Slack. It sits about 36" from me in my chair and about the distance of monitor screens, maybe a bit more. That also means that this is mounted and the camera is not moving. The autofocus was on of my concerns because indoors with lower light and a 1.2 speed lens could prove problematic. It has not and frankly exceeds other lens in focus and focus transition, which is surprising smooth. At first I stoped it down to 1.4, but over the course of days and now months, I'm back at 1.2 because the look is very good for my use. I need to be honest, this lens is expensive and if someone is looking for a cheap solution to video conferencing, there are other options. However, is you are looking for the very, very best and professional look in your video calls, this is exceptional. I bought this lens at least 6 months ago now and it has been running every workday without issue. I can only speak to this use case, but I think this lens fits the need better than everything else in the small grouping of lenses out there.

A must have for anyone who is wanting quick cinematic shots without any effort.
Color: White
Size: 33mm for E Mount
The photos I listed are all in 1.2f. have a few lenses and by far this is the best one I have got. The autofocus is pretty decent and is very good for someone just shooting anything, also the image stabilization works great. The lens is not super sharp obviously at 1.2f, but it creates this very beautiful dreamy scene with chromatic aberration around what it is focus, it is very subtle but gives a beautiful scene. Once you crank it up to 2.8f and forward you get extremely sharp images that any lens over $600 would look like. Overall, this is a fantastic lens for anyone who does not want to have any gear and just a point and shoot cine lens.
