Sirui's Low Light "Night Walker" APSCine Lenses 

I love these lenses, i purchased them directly from Sirui here in Europe, and paid €379+shipping. I first got the 55mm and immediatelly fell in love with it so i got the 24 and 35 to complete the set. You can't go wrong with these lenses. I almost pulled the trigger on the Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster T1.0 S35 Cine set but they cost €200 more each, so i decided to save some money and go with Sirui. I use them at 1.2 on my FX30 all the time and i love the softness. I have used my Sigma 56, 30 and 16 1.4 lenses and while they are excellent and super sharp, sometimes that clinical sharpness is just too much and these Sirui lenses came in perfectly for my wedding/corporate/event films. This is not my first set of cinema lenses but it is quickly becoming my favorite!

I own the Surui carbon travel tripod, big ball head, and monopod as well as their cage for the fx3/30 and now 2 of their anamorphic lenses. I literally love every single product I own from Surui. Customer for life for sure.

Sweet deal! Also, I like that name as a photographer who likes doing nighttime work. Thanks for the great content!

Just ordered my set of three. I'm brand new at all this. Did the acting side a while. But fell in love with the creative process. Excited to see what they do with my a6400. Eventually I'll trade it in for the fx30

I’d love to see a comparison between the Sirui Night Walker Cine T1.2 - 24,35,56 set to the Viltrox Cine T1.5 - 23,33.56 set and the Mitakon Speedmaster T1.0 MFT Cine 17,25,35,50 set. Let them battle it out.

I won't be surprised if it becomes the best selling lens set of 2023.

I’ve been waiting for a good review before making my purchase. My main question was answered and unfortunately, that’s a dealbreaker. What’s the point of getting a 1.2 if that’s exactly the weakest point of the lenses? There is a reason why good fast lenses are expensive. Thank you for the honest review.

For a beginner on a budget they would have to be a great choice

damn... thats some awesome looking lens

Thanks for the very thorough and helpful video. How do you feel about the 24 mm used primarily for still photography at night? Are there others you would prefer at this lower price point. For reference, I am using the OM1. All the best to you, Bob

Looking forward to the photo centric Sniper set from Surui.

Not sure if intentional but your title says "Street Walker" but the name of these are "Night Walker" as you mention in the video.

Great video and demo thanks. Did you focus the lens by hand or with a follow focus system? Thanks Glenn

Great video as usual. On a side note, my guess is having manufactures vacuum sealing lenses is probably not the best way forward lol.

How do think about 7artisian vision 35mm I think it’s sharper than Sirui even with wide open, but it seems like you don’t highly recommend it

If you shoot in high frames for slow motion, everything looks good.

Can I use my Sony ff A7iii on it? It's got vignetting at the sides..I know it's meant for APSC cams..any way to fix it? Thanks 🙏

I ended up ordering in black before I even saw super 35 and I'm shooting full frame on the Canon R5C. I could either return them or keep them and shoot in super 35 mode. Luckily the cannon offers that and you can even shoot in Cannon raw.

Can you please update me on the news 23 33 56 mm f1.2 sirui with autofocus for sony apsc and maybe compare them for example with the 50 1.8 sony? I trust your reviews and like your very personal way of creating contents, Thanx, Max

Really nice image quality, Sigma has too much corrections for my taste.

Nice video and review. Did you only use ibis , no gimbal no wrap stabilizer in post? Its very smooth for 5.5 stops. My a7iii can do 5 stops and its very shaky

Let's see recording at night... And then it is still sunny outside 😅😂

Impressive

Hi arthur, great review, i've never used indiegogo, do you know if an import chargue is added if i buy from mexico?

Wow so surprised by the price.

What lens did you use at your desk? I am getting a fisheye look on my screen, but maybe it is my screen.

Very nice :) did you use the in body image stabilization of the Sony body ?

The tripods and monopods came first. I bought my first Surui carbon fiber monopd 8 years ago and it's still going strong.

at what ISO were you filmming in the night? was it dark dark or blue hr?

Which one of the three is your favorite?

Man why does the speaker look like doug funnie lol

Hi ! Could you test it on the A6000 series and do they work?

Sigma 1.4 or sinui for videos ??please help me guys

All three is $899 btw.

holy these lenses are sexy

Are example video shots from "night walk" wide open or stopped down?

Thank you for testing them on a full-frame camera.

You shouldn’t be comparing image quality between a cinema lens that is meant for video against an autofocus lens that is meant for photos. Cinema lenses are not digitally sharp like photo lenses and most Cine lenses are not meant to be optically perfect like photo lenses.

Color matched?

IF T1.2 is fucked up, why buy?

Your wife is so beautiful ¡. I ordered them so use i think it's a very good lense

Call me crazy but I don’t think that is night time

Well, focus motor would be required on a gimbal, and M3 does not have one. :( Sharpness for a video is not the best thing you will be looking for. Video should not be too sharp.

It's not pronounced sue-ray. It's sue-roux-y or sue-roo-ee

poor DJ Optical not even mentioned 😢

The single greatest frame occurs at 8:29. What a looker! The delighted expression! Such bokeh! The fringing on this glass at max is threateningly bombastic. An inch from unhinged. Purples and greens flying around everywhere. Tight review, thank you for doing the legwork.
