Does the Sirui 75mm F1.8 autofocus?

No. It is a fully manual lens with no autofocus motor or electronic contacts, so you focus by hand and set aperture on the ring.

What sensor sizes does it fit?

It is built for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds sensors and comes in Sony E, Canon EF-M, L and MFT mounts. It will not cover a full-frame sensor without a crop mode.

What aspect ratio does the 1.33x squeeze give?

On a 16:9 camera it produces roughly a 2.4:1 widescreen frame. You desqueeze in post or on a monitor with a 1.33x setting.

What is the minimum focus distance?

About 3.9 ft (1.2 m), which is fine for portraits but too far for tight detail shots. Screw-on diopters can shorten it.

What filter size does it take?

A 67mm front thread, so standard 67mm ND and diopter filters fit directly.

Is it good for portraits?

Yes. The 75mm reach compresses features flatteringly and F1.8 separates the subject, though the long minimum distance means you frame from the chest up or further back.

Owners rate it very highly, praising the anamorphic character, sharpness wide open and build for the money. Complaints center on weight, the long minimum focus distance and the discipline manual focus demands.

What people mention

Image qualityPraisedOwners say it stays sharp wide open and renders a clean, filmic image.
Anamorphic lookPraisedThe oval bokeh and horizontal blue flares are the main reason people buy it.
WeightCriticisedAt about 28 oz it balances poorly on small mirrorless bodies.
FocusMixedManual focus gives control but is slow, and the 3.9 ft minimum distance rules out tight close-ups.
BuildPraisedReviewers describe the metal barrel and geared rings as solid and smooth.
