Overview

The Sirui Aurora 35mm F1.4 offers excellent rendering and beautiful bokeh, with robust all-metal build and useful features like aperture lock and weather sealing. Autofocus is adequate for street but slower than top contenders, and sharpness is strong centrally from f/1.4, with corners improving by f/1.8. Flare and ghosting can be an issue. It suits videographers and artists seeking characterful images on a budget, but not fast-action shooters.
