There's a lot to love about the Sirui Aurora 85mm f/1.4 Full Frame Lens with X mount for Fujifilm cameras, but it's not perfect. Far from it!

Watch this for the results of field testing the lens both for photography and for video.

Love the review format, I understand it's not everyone favourite but just scattering a few of these in with your normal videos is great, adds some good variety and props to the production quality for the whole channel but especially for this review format

Ya camera graphics are already good mate you don’t need another camera your camera work is awesome I’m actually envious of your camera shots so you really don’t need a new camera

Fujifilm camera bodies tend to do that pulsing autofocus. It's a known issue. I remember there should be a setting in the menu where you can adjust the af sensitivity and speed, and tuning that down that can relief this issue to some extent but not resolve completely.

Did you have it on autofocus or locked on manual? Shouldn't be doing VR autofocus if it's switched to off.

I'm sorry but camera porn isn't why I subscribed. I couldn't care if the video was in 360p, I am here only for news around my city.

85mm means you have to be in another postcode to your subject tho

I have problems with the autofocus, neither with x-t5 or x-h2 focus correctly, is always slightly out-of-focus. With manual focus the lens is sharp but with AF no pictures are correctly focus… and Sirui has firmware updates for Nikon and Sony versions but not for Fuji :(
