SIRUI Sniper 75mm Autofocus F1.2 Telephoto APS-C Cine Lens, E Mount, Black

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.

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

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!

Great lens for APS-C use, especially for the price.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excelente calidad del producto

Love this lens. F1.2 APS-C delivers a near-full frame look. I have shot stills with it on my A6700 and my filmed using the FX30s commercially. Whilst there isn't an aperture ring or a CF button, it is still a well made, not too bulky in size, Lightweight, fast prime that is not only quick off the mark for focusing. but delivered a decent focal length with balanced contrast. I also have the Full Frame 85mm 1.4 Auroura which is quite spectacular for the price.

Consiglio vivamente per aumentare la qualità delle vostre immagini… Io la uso con Sony 6500

Por la relación calidad precio creo que es una lente muy interesante. En mi caso la uso para vídeo y puede que los fotógrafos necesiten otras caracterísiicas. Lo he probado ya unas tres veces junto con mi Sony FX-30 en trabajos profesionales. Es un objetivo ligero y con un tamaño perfecto para una cámara APSC. En mi caso tengo la versión blanca que le da un toque diferente y la verdad es que creo que es precioso. Tiene una apertura de f1.2 muy luminosa y que otorga un bokeh muy pronunciado y cremoso. En cuanto al enfoque automático no es el mejor que he probado. Está claro que algunas lentes Sony o Sigma que tengo son algo más rápidas y precisas pero el desempeño de este SIRUI es bueno y más que suficiente por lo menos para hacer vídeo. En cuanto a su calidad de imagen aquí viene todo lo que lo hace "especial". Tiene como es normal una ligera pérdida de nitidez en sus aperturas más grandes y también adolece de un contraste más blando que otras lentes. Sin embargo son estos "defectos" o características lo que hace que su look sea tan maravilloso y muy diferente a otras lentes más caras. En mi caso, que hago vídeo exclusivamente, no me interesa la excesiva nitidez ni las imágenes perfectas. Lo que busco es personalidad y este objetivo lo tiene a raudales. Su precioso bokeh, su poco contraste, y los lens flare que puedes obtener hace que sea maravilloso trabajar con él. Sin mucho esfuerzo consigues un look muy cinematográfico que nada tiene que ver con los objetivos de más alta gama. En definitiva, para vídeo no solo lo recomiendo si no que creo que por el precio que tiene es casi imprescindible para dotar de personalidad a tus trabajo.

Lense seems okay so far - but the vacuum packed casing Sirui lenses normally come in was already cut open and the lense cap at the small end is from a Sigma lense and not a Sirui - so something’s definitely not right here! Not feeling particularly happy about this.
