SIRUI has expanded its full-frame Aurora autofocus lens series with two fast wide-angle primes: the Aurora 15mm F1.6 and the Aurora 24mm F1.4. Priced at US$599 and US$499 respectively, both launch first in Sony E and L-mount, with Nikon Z and Fujifilm X versions to follow in early 2027.
We’ve spent plenty of time with SIRUI’s cine glass, and the Aurora range is where the company is bringing that know-how to stills and hybrid shooters at a keen price. These two new lenses fill the wide end of the line-up, and each takes a slightly different approach.
Aurora 15mm F1.6: ultra-wide with distortion control
The 15mm F1.6 is aimed at architecture, tight interiors, travel, vlogging and night photography. The fast F1.6 aperture is unusual at this focal length and should help with astro and low-light work without pushing ISO too far.
SIRUI says the big emphasis is on keeping distortion under control so that straight lines stay straight and subjects at the edge of the frame aren’t stretched. That’s exactly what interior and architectural shooters need, and for video it should mean less correction and cropping in post. Helpfully, it also takes standard 77mm screw-in filters, so you can use regular ND and polarising filters rather than a bulky holder system.
Aurora 24mm F1.4: the hybrid all-rounder
The 24mm F1.4 offers a wider view than a 35mm without exaggerated ultra-wide perspective, and SIRUI pitches it at interviews, weddings, documentaries, commercial video and run-and-gun work. A de-clickable aperture ring switches between stepped stops for stills and smooth stepless control for video, and SIRUI says focus breathing is kept subtle to minimise framing changes during focus pulls.
Both lenses use STM autofocus with eye-tracking support and have protection against moisture, rain and dust. Both also use 11 aperture blades for rounded out-of-focus highlights.
