A blazing-fast aperture for only $349 seems like a worthy price. But what are we sacrificing?
If you’ve dipped your toe into the budget cine lens world, SIRUI is a name you’ve heard of quite a bit, especially if you’ve been looking at budget anamorphic lenses for all sorts of sensors.
Now SIRUI is tackling the night with a set of Super 35 (APS-C) lenses that have a T1.2 aperture across the board. The SIRUI Night Walker series is all about affordability and low-light sensitivity.
So, how do they perform, and should you get one for your kit? That all depends on how many corners you’re willing to cut.

The SIRUI Night Walker series is a three-lens set offering 24mm, 35mm, and 55mm. Made for APS-C/Super 35 sensors, the entire set has a T1.2 aperture, geared focus and iris rings, and similar proportions for efficiency builds. It’s even being offered in several mounts, including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds.
