  "account": "The Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 lens has recently caught my eye, and I must say, it’s a compelling offering in the wide-angle realm. Launched by the established brand Sirui in 2001, the company has since expanded its portfolio to include tripods, anamorphic lenses, and lighting equipment. The Aurora 35mm is a full-frame autofocus lens designed for still cameras, but its versatility extends to video shooting as well.\n\nIn terms of specifications, the lens boasts a 65.7-degree angle of view, with 13 diaphragm blades and a minimum aperture of f/16. Its compact dimensions (76x103mm / 3.0x4.0in) and lightweight build (490g / 17oz) make it an attractive option for photographers on the go. Available in Sony E, Nikon Z, L-mount, and Fujifilm X mount options, the lens is designed to deliver exceptional performance, build quality, and value for money.\n\nBuilt with a full set of switches and function buttons, the Aurora 35mm features a fluorine-coated front element to resist moisture and grease, ensuring easy cleaning. Its sturdy construction and elegant design, showcased in a full-color printed box and high-end soft case, make it stand out from the crowd. Priced at $549 / £549 / AU$889, the Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 presents an impressive bargain compared to its competitors, such as the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 G Master and Nikon's Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4.",
  "summary": "The Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 is a fast, full-frame lens with a natural perspective. It boasts pretty much all of the handling extras you could wish for, at a very reasonable price, but is there a catch?",
