Part of Sirui's inaugural set of autofocus lenses designed for APS-C cameras, this Sony E mount Sniper 56mm f/1.2 Autofocus Lens is an ultra-fast prime lens 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 85mm full-frame equivalence is appropriate for portrait photography, close-ups, and capturing distant subjects with blurred backgrounds. The lens features extra-low dispersion and 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's soft, appealing bokeh.
56mm Telephoto Focal Length: The 56mm focal length offers a dynamic tele perspective, equivalent to a 85mm full frame lens, suitable for portrait-length prime, close-ups, long distance shooting, blurred background, etc.
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), aluminium (silver) with a minimum weight of each single lens is around only 420g, creating a new era of lightweight fast aperture lens.
