Great review. These lenses are incredible value. I’m glad you put them on my radar. I feel sorry for you, having to deal with some of these brain dead comments and criticisms. Your efforts are appreciated!
Thanks mate. I think the 75mm in particular is interesting since Olympus only has 75mm f1.8 so this is possibly an interesting alternative for the same focal length and also being a few stops faster! Yeah the comment… as you can see, I didn’t bother replying after
@@Red35Photography, I’m debating between the Laowa 18mm f/0.95 and the 16mm Sirui. What are your thoughts? The Laowa seems to be sharper, wide open, even at f/0.95, which is my main concern.
Yeah they are fun. And no, they don't have contacts so you will have to set the IBIS and focal length yourself, but it's quite easy with both OM an Lumix cameras.
Sirui is sharper wide open and generally more solid performer than Mitakon. I found their T1 series good for vintage looking projects than more modern documentary filming.
@@Red35Photography I wish you mentioned that. Shallow depth of field on manualn lenses is almost useless since you have to modify manually the focused of any moving subject and what looks good on a small camera screen is terrible on a real screen. When reviewing manual lenses it is very important to note it since it will not fit to 80% or even more of the mature photographers.
@@ezrakoper Huh? Where are all of these autofocus cine lenses that you're talking about? I have never seen a single cine lens in my life that is AF, except for the brand new one about to be released in China.

It would be incredible to make a video comparing it to the Laowa Argus 18mm f0.95
Hi Jimmy, once again an interesting and entertaining video on the Sirui lenses!
One question: do they "communicate" with the camera?
Yeah they are fun. And no, they don't have contacts so you will have to set the IBIS and focal length yourself, but it's quite easy with both OM an Lumix cameras.
@@Red35Photography Thank you very much Jimmy!
if i am to get two of these for arty, music videos - which two?! aghh. 16 and 75? or one of the main three?
Das Tele auf 1:17 neben dir ist riesig!
How would you compare the Sirui 16mm to the Mitakon Zhongyi 17mm T1?
Sirui is sharper wide open and generally more solid performer than Mitakon. I found their T1 series good for vintage looking projects than more modern documentary filming.
@@Red35Photography Amazing thanks, yes this Sirui is great value and seems like a top performer. Exciting stuff.
Is the 75 T1.2 possible for portraits？ The only lens can match the bokeh effect close to full frame 135MM。
Yes, in fact this is a great portrait lens for MfT!
Are this lenses covering APS-C image circle or m43 image circle? Are they native m43 or APS-C/S35?
They do cover APS-C image circle. use the link in the description to go straight to their page to see the. technical details of these lenses.
@@Red35Photography You forgot to mention that as this will impact the field of five and given focal length in m43.

You didn't mention, are those lenses manual or autofocus?
Cine lenses are always manual focus.
What about the most basic question - does it support auto focus. No word on that for the entire video !!!!!!!!
Almost all cinelenses are manual focus to use with focusing module. If you need autofocus you need to mount another device for this type of lenses
