Nice review. Curious if you ever use a black pro-mist or similar (such as the the Moment Cine Bloom filters) and how these lenses would look in combo?

[@evrytvplus]

this is the best review on this lens I've seen. Others were done by people that didn't shoot well with them. Great Job. i just purchased all three before looking at this. I wish I clicked your link first.

[@RICH_Photography]

Truly appreciate the kind words!!! We really took a lot of time shooting with these lenses, even on real paid jobs. We tested them and played a ton!
The 35 and 55 review is dropping this week.
Well, you can click my link if Sirui drops a wider 15/16mm and maybe a more telephoto 75 or 85mm lens 😉

[@evrytvplus]

@@RICH_Photography with these not being full frame lenses what was your work around with them

[@mikes_perspective6580]

I want this set soo much! Can’t wait!

[@RICH_Photography]

It's an amazing set!!!

[@GungKrisna12]

It will be only a matter of time until Kubrick-style lens appears again

[@CameraCombo]

Looking forward to more reviews. Thanks.

[@RICH_Photography]

Thank you! The 35mm review is dropping REAL soon and then the 55mm and still a full combo comparison.

[@itsevoblitz]

Sirui 24mm t1.4 vs Viltrox 23mm t1.5 which one is better?

[@AimeeryDC]

Can i use these on a7iv sony??

[@markwiemels]

Your real world test images looked really nice. Did you find yourself using T1.2 much, or were your stoping down a bit.

[@RICH_Photography]

Thank you!
I did shoot this all at T1.2 and T1.4 just to obviously push the lens. I feel that showing a lens wide open is showing its weakness which is a fair review.
When I shoot with it for paid jobs, I definitely shoot around T1.5 not just because of picture quality, but because even T1.5 on MFT has an insanely shallow depth of field. I happily even shoot at T2 and the picture quality is absolutely beautiful!

[@McraeNix]

I don't mind the imperfections, and softness on certain T-Stops. And a little bit of distortion.

[@ReviewBru]

Great video. Does the indie gogo campaign deliver to South Africa with these night Walker Cine lenses if I purchase it there ?

[@RICH_Photography]

Thank you! I don't think Indiegogo does any delivering anywhere...Sirui does all the shipping and delivery so it should definitely come to SA.

[@ReviewBru]

@@RICH_Photography thank you for the reply sir.
I have a question.
Let’s say I shoot a short film and decide to use Sirui anamorphic lenses is it a rule to always shoot with anamorphic lenses throughout a production or can one also use the night walker Cine lenses ? Just wondering about the anamorphic black bars. What would you recommend sir?

[@RICH_Photography]

The thing is with Anamorphic is you technically getting a very different angle of view.
You will get say 75mm top to bottom focal range, but 50mm left to right.
Once you take a normal spherical lens, like the Night Walkers, you will actually CHOP out footage from the top and bottom to make it fit the aspect ratio of anamorphic rather than gaining lateral focal range like anamorphic.

[@ReviewBru]

@@RICH_Photography thank you for taking the time to answer. I get you, it will obviously give you a different look and all.
I'm guessing once could film certain shots with anamorphic and others with spherical lenses. one would just need to keep the anamorphic bars consistent even with the spherical lenses footage. think this could work?

[@RICH_Photography]

That could definitely work. The "anamorphic bars" are actually not bars.
So usually when you make a video it's say 1920 x 1080 (the 16:9) aspect ratio.
When it's anamorphic depending on the squeeze could be 1920 x 780 giving you a wider aspect ratio, the "bars" are only visible when put on a 16:9 display and the black bars are the lack of data.
What's cool with loading spherical footage into that type of project, would allow you to adjust your footage up and down and having reframing abilities.

[@GameUnkasa]

Damn I wish they had released a wider angle too

[@RICH_Photography]

Coming soon 😉

[@stilgoin]

Is there an adapter that can be used on an ef mount camera ?

[@RICH_Photography]

Not as far as I know of...

[@tomcruz5495]

Very good review! I will like if you can compare these set with the Noktons from Voigtländer, specially the new Super Nokton 29mm f/0.8

[@RICH_Photography]

Really appreciate it, I think I'll have to do a viltrox comparison soon as I do have the Viltrox set.

[@boldasalionstudios4158]

Do you think the night walker or Jupiter line is better

[@RICH_Photography]

The Jupiter line is full frame…but they far more expensive!

[@publicprosecutoroftheunt6019]

Спасибо!!!

[@directorwillgates]

Are they full frame

[@RICH_Photography]

APSC

[@CSAFilm]

For MFT is not wide enough. Hope they make a 16mm version.

[@RICH_Photography]

It seems they are and it will be released real soon!!!

[@CSAFilm]

@@RICH_Photography Are you sure? Because i was thinking to buy the Mitakon 17mm T1 for my bmpcc4k.

[@RICH_Photography]

Apparently yes, I can't confirm it, but sirui themselves have been posting teasers.

[@Outlabyrinth]

🙌 thanks !!! So this one or Viltrox ?

[@RICH_Photography]

What a tough choice...I think a lot of brand preference will happen here.
There's pros and cons to both and I will make a review comparing them both.
But remember, shooting at T1.2 has an insanely shallow depth of field, probably around F1
So you would generally shoot it at T1.5 anyway.
My honest opinion, the winner out of these 2 will probably be the first manufacturer to make a 12mm or 16mm variant.

[@jsigma3649]

What can’t I buy directly from Sirui

[@RICH_Photography]

It's currently on Indiegogo on a special/Pre sale.

[@johnholidayVFX]

Looks like high dollar security cam footage..🤣🤣🤣

[@RICH_Photography]

Please tell us where you buy your security cameras, because you the only guy getting security cameras looking like this.
