Sirui’s Aurora line goes wide with a 15mm f/1.6 and a 24mm f/1.4

Sirui has introduced two new full-frame autofocus lenses to its premium Aurora series for Sony E and L mount cameras. The 15mm f/1.6 and 24mm f/1.4 optics complement the existing 35mm and 85mm Aurora lenses. The 15mm f/1.6 boasts a wide 109.3-degree angle of view, making it ideal for landscape photography, astrophotography, and interior shots.

Its optical distortion is minimal at 1.4%, and it features a compact 106.4mm long barrel weighing 550g. The lens includes stepping motor autofocus, subject detection, and tracking modes, as well as a customizable function button. The 24mm f/1.4, meanwhile, shares handling characteristics with its sibling and is better suited for street and still life photography.

It features a slightly longer focal length and an f/1.4 aperture, which is advantageous in low light. This lens also incorporates stepping motor autofocus with subject tracking and eye-detection capabilities, and is designed with video recording in mind. The Aurora 24mm f/1.4 is priced at $499/£439 for E mount and L mount versions, with Z mount and X mount editions expected soon.
