Features

  • Capture More of the Scene: The 16mm focal length delivers an approximately 24mm full-frame equivalent view, making it easy to fit more into the frame. Ideal for landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel and city scenes when you want to show more of the environment without stepping too far back.
  • Made for Vlogging & Dynamic Video: The wide perspective helps keep you and your surroundings in frame when shooting handheld vlogs, travel videos and walk-and-talk content. The F1.2 aperture also creates subject separation and a cinematic look when you want more than a typical wide-angle lens.
  • F1.2 for Low-Light Creativity: The bright F1.2 aperture lets in more light for night streets, indoor scenes, evening events and dim environments, while the shallow depth of field helps separate your subject from the background for a more expressive look.
  • Fast AF for Moving Subjects: The STM autofocus motor provides quick and quiet focusing with support for Eye AF and subject tracking, helping keep people in focus during vlogging, street photography, events and everyday video without distracting focus noise.
  • E Mount APS-C Compatibility: Compatible with Sony APS-C E Mount cameras including a6100, a6400, a6500, a6600, a6700, FX30 and ZV-E10. Ideal for vlogging, travel, landscapes, interiors and video creation. APS-C lens coverage; please confirm your camera model and mount before purchase.

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.

  • Exceptional Sharpness & Fast Focus — Wow!
Color: Black Size: 23mm
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 ... show more

  • Outstanding lens for a budget price!
Color: Black Size: 23mm
Do not let the price fool you. This is a solid lens that performs very well. I use this for wide video shots at comedy shows I record. The autofocus is solid, I really cannot find a complaint. It works as well as my 24mm Sony GM lens. A fast lens great for low light situations. I have used it for some still photography. No issues. Great results. ... show more

  • Best budget prime lens option with stunning image quality Best budget prime lens option with stunning image quality
Color: Black Size: 75mm
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. ... show more

  • great lens small hickups
Color: Black Size: 33mm
the auto-focusing from the a6400 tends to be a little off. maybe it's the camera idk. The color aberration is very noticeable from the lens in the camera. overall a great lens

  • Ok…
Color: Black Size: 23mm
Super light which is good especially for gimbal work. 1.2 makes for good bokeh if that’s your style. 3 stars because during a wedding it just wouldn’t focus at times. Which was only after 1 use at a previous wedding

  • Far better than expected for Zoom and WebEx. Professional results
Color: White Size: 16mm
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. ... show more
