Sirui really knows how to deliver premium lenses, but the TTArtisan 75mm f/2 caught my eye for its portability. For everyday use, would the smaller size make a big difference?

Which focal length you wanna see next from Sirui Aurora series? 👀

Thank you for real example how can look photo with this lens without preset yet!

I'd wish, Sigma Art would produce them for NIKON Z's, but since they don't, I have to look around. I wonder if that gets close to Nikons 85mm 1.8?

A company like Sirui should over-allocate resources to improving autofocus, and try to solve this FIRST before developing a lens lineup. They suffer from years of negative reputation and it takes a long time to work past that stigma..before people stop being afraid of the company's autofocus. I just asked a few photographers and videographers if they will consider a Sirui or TTArtisan or 7Artisan and they all said the same thing *"too afraid of the autofocus"*

Did you correct for chromatic abberations in the edited photos?

Unfortunately not compatible with my Sony A7III for photos. Compatible for video which does not interest me. Sirui says working on firmware, but gave no timeline. Check compatibility on the Sirui site before buying.

Another great video brother! Apart from the auto focus that 85mm does look pretty reliable. 85mm is definitely a focal length I wanna have in my bag in the future. Thank you for the review as always! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Do you plan on doing a long term review after a few months?

[TegmaCreation]

For real? this is worth it or you have any reference for buy the other lens?

The Sirui lens looks amazing, but at nearly twice the price of the TTArtisan 75mm f/2, I’m not sure it’s worth it. The TTArtisan is lighter, and for most portrait work, f/2 is plenty bright.

Such a shame about the focus motor, and it also seems like the photos have really low contrast. On a budget it will be a great lens, but for faster stuff only the Sony is viable.
