I just want to point out that the "Night Walker" lenses are likely not actually t/1.2, as that would require some pretty spectacular (and physically large) optical design. They use the same optics in the "Sniper" series and those are f/1.2. Sirui seems to be using t-stops and f-stops interchangeably, and so the t-stops are not accurate.

@DiminishingAugmentation Месяц назад

Man, that's really unfortunate.

@TechnoBabble Месяц назад

@@DiminishingAugmentation Yeah, you'll often find that these cheaper super large aperture lenses don't have great light transmission. The f/1.2 ones often transmitting the same amount or less light than high end f/1.4 lenses. Often still good for the price, though.

@ricknicholson5894 Месяц назад

The astrophotographers will be yelling at Christopher, what about coma.

@Omgiamsotriggered Месяц назад

Still, for 300$ for a lens its still an amazing lens with really awesome low light capabilites and great image quality. Only thing is its a manual focus lens, which turns away most people. But any type of aim on producing cinematic footage should be shot manually because AF cant know what u want.

@LimitlessVisualMedia 16 дней назад

Why are you assuming they are using the exact same optics on the sniper series and nightwalkers? Did they confirm they were exactly the same? I'd assume they have to be different because they physically have to fit different parts

@JayJayYUP Месяц назад

Just for anyone wondering about their actual name. Reps at booths have been asked for the pronounciation - and the closest sound to what their company name basically is: Sue-Wray, not See-Ru-ee

@Paul43210 Месяц назад

I hope one day aps-h is coming back for all these big image circle aps-c lenses that would be so interesting if the full potential would be usable without cropping ff images😭😭 Please dear camera gods hear me out

@ivanrebic8520 Месяц назад

You don't need such a sensor to be dedicated, many cameras have crop when shoting some video modes such as 4K60 or even higher frame rates, it's not uncommon to see 1.2-1.4 crops in those modes and since you can't use more of the sensor for these modes due to slow processing, it's great that some lenses can actually cover that circle while being designed for APS-C

@LukesMushrooms Месяц назад

Hi Chris, thanks for another review. I just wanted to let you know about one technical issue I have specially with your videos. In some of them there is a moment in the video which produces artefacts when playing on some devices. Or some devices are unable to continue playing the video after such moment at all (like my LG Smart TV). I recommend to check for corrupted video files, either checking your memory cards for recording or harddrives for processing. Or even internet connection for uploading. These problems happened to me with several of your videos already, while I haven't seen anything like this at other RU-vid channels I watch. In this video it happens somewhere around 4:02 - I hope this helps, good luck!

@BlendyStick Месяц назад

I think the problem is more likely your internet connection.

@panmaew Месяц назад

From my experience of shooting with several much more expensive true cine-lenses with the Super 35 size image circle thsi lens would rank among the very good ones, except for macro shooting. It could be excellent actually if you can stop it down to the still acceptable apertures of f2 to f2.8 as a depth of field compromise to minimize the vignetting.

@sharpskilz Месяц назад

Weird, I literally looked to see if you had reviewed this yesterday!

Месяц назад

So it's basically equivalent of fullframe 24mm f/1.8.

@IFrAnIKOz Месяц назад

Is there really a difference in exposure between full frame and apsc? I though using the same lense will always produce the same image circle with the the same brightness regardless of sensor. Also the difference between f1.2 and 1.4 is half a stop. Full stop would be 1.8

@guiagaston7273 Месяц назад

@@IFrAnIKOzA f1.2 apsc lens is not equivalent to an f1.2 full frame lens. Even though they give it the same number. Tony Northrup has some good videos on that topic.

@IFrAnIKOz Месяц назад

@@guiagaston7273 In terms of dof it is not. In terms of light transmission and exposure it is. Applying a crop factor to your aperture value when determining exposure will result in overexposure. The same lens at the same aperture will always deliver the same exposure with everything else equal regardless of sensor size (not factoring in vignetting)

@stargazer2852 Месяц назад

Great video! But I have to say, that I am disappointed, that you did not show pictures of stars, as it is called "Night Walker" and would be very interesting for use in astrophotography... That was the main reason, I saw this video.

Good review as always. Exciting bright alternative, but too expensive, big and very heavy. Completely irrelevant to me as an MFT shooter. Still sticking with Pana/Leica 15/1.7.

@tomsquires2926 Месяц назад

This isn't the same kinda lens though. 15mm F1.7 on MFT is like a 30mm F3.4 equivalent on full frame. It's way wider and brighter.

@user-yk1ie5ep1i Месяц назад

L comment. You need to be out of the city for decent astro shots. Clearly not a good lens for astro based on just the flaring and softness at 1.2.

Did you not watch the video? He addressed the poor contrast wide open and flaring. This should be all an astro photographer needs to know.
