Manufacturer description

In 2023, 23mm, 33mm and 56mm lenses were launched by SIRUI. Now, wide angle 16mm and telephoto 75mm further complement this Sniper Series.

F1.2 aperture greatly benefits shooting in low-light situations. STM motor provides accurate, quick and quiet autofocus shooting experience. These lenses with new optical design provide high-quality images, strictly controlled aberration and minimal focus breathing, suitable for both photo and video creating. Five lenses in this set all have similar size and weight, and can be your best shooting partners.

ED glass and high refractive index glass and HD Nano coating are used to provide outstanding optical performance with well controlled flare and ghosting.

Two aspherical lenses are used in the wide angle 16mm lens to further reduce lens size. Also, distortion and optical aberration are well controlled.

75mm lens helps isolate the subject from the background.

A fast shutter speed improves shooting efficiency and at the same time helps capture brilliant moments in time. Even when the aperture is fully open, you can get bright images with excellent sharpness.

Large aperture makes sure more light enters your camera in low light situation so that you can reduce the use of light. And there is no need to use extremely high ISO and you can get a pure night scene.

The 16mm and 75mm lenses further complement the whole set, meeting more shooting needs.

16mm is equivalent to a full frame 24mm lens, suitable for landscape, starry sky, tight spaces, etc.

Only 0.3m minimal focus distance with large aperture! Subject in tight space can be captured clearly and the background is also included.

75mm is equivalent to a full frame 113mm lens, suitable for portraits, close-ups, still life, animals, plants, long distance shooting, etc.

F1.2 fast aperture and shallow depth of field help to separate the subject from the background.

Support of camera's Eye AF feature helps focus on human eyes easily even if the subject moves fast. When recording videos, the subject is always detected and tracked, thus helping create a smooth and high-end production.

STM motor design brings you quiet autofocus experience.

Minimal focus breathing and strictly controlled aberration allow focusing on the subject from at any distance, allowing you to create high quality videos.

Create smooth and high-end productions with ease thanks to the same characteristics.

Choose black (carbon fiber), white (ceramic coating), silver (aluminum alloy) or all to match your camera.

Included is petal-shaped lens hood for 16 mm focal length lens and round lens hood for 75 mm focal length lens to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens.
