Sirui 75mm T1.2 'Night Walker' lens review

[@spyalex]

Even though I'm not interested in this particular lens, I gotta say, your reviews are the best!

[@selkiemaine]

Great review, and when completely in context, I think that lens is shockingly good. When I compare my vintage FL 55mm f/1.2 and the 7Artisans 50mm f/1.05, I don't think either retain anything like the sharpness and contrast that this does wide open. Obviously, this is a very different focal length - but I'm seeing such improvements year to year in these Chinese lenses - it's wonderful - almost alarming!

Viltrox 75/1.2 APSC AF is truly "alarming", 13/1.4, 16/1.8(FF)，27/1.2 are "earthquakes"!😊😊😊

[@sircas1224]

So in conclusion, the 16mm is the best, then 75mm, and then 24mm for these Sirui MF lenses. Could make a nice kit honestly! I do wish that 55mm lens was sharper cause 75mm on APSC is already fairly tight. Thanks for the reviews Chris!!

[@christopherfrost]

That's my own conclusion 🙂

My favorite lens on micro 4/3 is a 75mm. You get used to staying a few steps farther back pretty quickly.

[@charithheenpalla]

I would say simply because of warn colour cast and a classic focal length the 35mm would just beat the 24mm

[@Adogcallednoortje]

This could become classics.

Hi, may I ask if this will work on Sony full frame cameras do you know? I understand they will give fish eye look? Is this true do you know? Thanks

[@Bayonet1809]

At 4:40, astigmatism can only be present off-axis, so seeing as you are showing the on-axis performance you can not be seeing any astigmatism. It just looks like SA to me, which is shown to be even greater at closer focal distances.

What about sniper series 75 and 16mm f1.2 AF lenses? Will you test them too?

[@Eyeofkamau]

They share the same glass as the nightwalkers - the test results would be identical in terms of IQ. He could show the autofocus performance of them though

[@denisnadeschdin8336]

I wish it was full frame 😅 hopefully they’ll give us something in the future

[@EricRoseBahamas]

How does the Sigma 8-16mm compare to these new Sirui lenses, in terms of sharpness and being special? 😊

[@carlosandreviana9448]

I was expecting the review of the Nikon 35mm 1.4, and curious to know how it compares to the Sigma 35mm DG DN

[@hellopsp180]

Wish they made them for FF honestly

[@Durio_zibethinus]

Yeah, about that... 😅

[@niterunner9979]

Is the new Sirui sniper 75mm f1.2 like this, optically?

[@christopherfrost]

That's what I'll be finding out over the next few weeks :-)

[@Eyeofkamau]

Yes, it’s the same glass

[@MrPawnyou]

Viltrox 75mm 1.2 all day its way better

[@ancogbernard]

You compare it to a manual lens? 😂

[@stefanbadass5357]

For me the bokeh is too janky, some of the intro shots began to give me a migraine.

[@WalterWhiteFromTheBlock]

I don't like the bokeh on this lens.

prolly' first!

[@MohammadKhan-nb5xl]

2nd again....

[@lorenzogattaldo3764]

Terrible focus shift at close range. Also, it was very merciful not to test the lens for coma.
