Sirui has expanded its full-frame lens line with the Aurora Series 85mm full-frame autofocus lens, designed to deliver precise performance and high-quality results across various shooting scenarios. Known for its expertise in crafting optical equipment, Sirui has introduced the Aurora 85mm lens as a versatile addition aimed at photographers looking for sharpness and efficiency. This latest product launch positions Sirui within the growing market of full-frame lenses, a category that balances functionality with the expanding demand for mirrorless and DSLR camera compatibility.
The Sirui Aurora 85mm lens stands out with its large maximum aperture of f/1.8, catering to photographers who rely on bokeh effects and low-light shooting. The optical construction features 11 elements in 10 groups, carefully calibrated to minimise chromatic aberrations and deliver edge-to-edge sharpness. Sirui has incorporated an autofocus motor that is fast, accurate, and quiet, which makes the Aurora a suitable choice for both still photography and video work. The autofocus motor complements its precision-focused build, offering seamless focus transitions that video creators can rely on.
Designed with portability in mind, the Aurora 85mm measures just 95mm in length and weighs under 500g, making it ideal for travel and location shoots. The lightweight yet durable construction combines aluminium alloy and engineering plastic, ensuring it can withstand varying environmental conditions. For photographers who shoot in diverse lighting, the lens’ nine-blade diaphragm offers a rounded bokeh effect, and the lens coatings minimise flares and ghosting, delivering crisp, high-contrast images.
For those keen on capturing portraiture, the 85mm focal length paired with the f/1.8 aperture allows photographers to experiment with depth of field, producing visually appealing subject isolation. With a price tag of approximately £339 or $399, Sirui’s Aurora lens offers a competitive option in a segment where high-quality glass is essential but often costly. The Aurora 85mm is now available for purchase on the Sirui website and is compatible with popular full-frame mounts, broadening its appeal to users of both DSLR and mirrorless systems.
By integrating autofocus capabilities into this full-frame 85mm lens, Sirui demonstrates its commitment to evolving with modern photography needs. The Aurora 85mm is not only a promising choice for professionals but also suitable for enthusiasts exploring higher-quality lens options.
