Part of Sirui's inaugural set of autofocus lenses designed for APS-C cameras, this Sony E mount Sniper 23mm f/1.2 Autofocus Lens is an ultrafast prime with shallow depth of field and high-quality bokeh that produces sharp, in-focus imagery with clear subject isolation. The quick and accurate autofocus supports eye and object tracking, even when the subject is in motion, benefiting photographers and videographers alike. The STM motor ensures a quiet autofocus experience with minimal focus breathing, another crucial benefit for videographers. Formatted for cameras with APS-C-size sensors, the 35mm full-frame equivalence is appropriate for street photography, travel, indoor architecture, and wider scenes. The lens features high refractive elements that contribute to the unit's reduced size while enhancing optical performance and minimizing flare and ghosting. The 11-blade aperture diaphragm design contributes to the lens' soft, appealing bokeh.
23mm Wide-Angle: The 23mm focal length offers a dynamic wide-angle perspective, allowing for more of the scene to be included in the frame, making it ideal for capturing expansive landscapes, immersive architectural shots, and impactful street photography.
Swift & Silent Auto-Focus: Equipped with STM (stepping) focus motors, the auto-focus system supports eye AF and object tracking, ensuring photographers capture sharp, clear images swiftly without disturbing the scene.
Outstanding Optical Performance: Minimal focus breathing and strictly controlled aberration allow focusing on the subject from beginning to end. 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.
Appealing & Dreamy Look: With vibrant expressions of your subjects, the lens adds an appealing and artistic vibe to your footage without missing a beat. The Sniper series lenses share a uniform color tone for consistent storytelling.
Three Stylish Colours: available in carbon fibre (black), ceramic (white), aluminum (silver) with a minimum weight of each single lens is around only 380g, creating a new era of lightweight fast aperture lens.
