The Sirui Sniper 23mm F1.2 APS-C Auto-Focus Lens with its 23mm focal length is very well-suited to portraiture photography. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the Sniper lenses is that they are autofocus primes. They are Sirui’s first autofocus lenses for mirrorless cameras. The minimum focus distance of the 23mm lens is about 30 centimetres.
Supporting cameras Eye AF feature helps focus on human eyes easily even if the subject moves fast. When videoing, the subject is always detected and tracked, thus helping create a smooth and high-end production. The Sniper features an F1.2 ultra-fast aperture with shallow depth of field, high bokeh quality, and isolating the subject. A fast shutter speed improves shooting efficiency and at the same time helps capture brilliant moments in time. Reducing the use of light in low-light conditions makes you a run-and-gun filmmaker. Besides, there is no need to use extremely high ISO and you can get a pure night scene.
ED glass and high refractive index glass are added to reduce lens size and meanwhile provide outstanding optical performance with well-controlled flare and ghost. Minimal focus breathing and strictly controlled aberration allow focusing on the subject from beginning to end. 11 aperture blade design creates soft and beautiful bokeh.
Includes a petal-shaped lens hood to reduce vignetting and prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens. Also, it is super easy to install and detach lens hoods. You can create smooth and high-end productions thanks to identical gear position, uniform 58mm filter thread and the same characteristics. Even when shooting with a stabiliser, lenses can also be quickly swapped without readjusting accessories.
