Our take on the Sirui Aurora 85mm F1.4 Full Frame Auto Focus Lens

The Sirui Aurora 85mm F1.4 is a full-frame autofocus portrait prime for Sony E and Nikon Z bodies, built from 14 elements in 9 groups with a 15-blade aperture. It is unusually fast for its class and adds weather sealing, an AF lock button and a 67mm filter thread. Reviewers like the bright aperture and smooth bokeh but rate it around 3.6 out of 5, with autofocus speed, sharpness wide open and weight drawing the most complaints. It suits portrait and event shooters who want a fast 85mm without paying first-party prices, and who can live with slower focus than a Sony or Nikon equivalent.

Questions and answers

Is the Sirui Aurora 85mm F1.4 worth it?
If you want a fast 85mm for portraits on a budget, yes. If you shoot fast action or need reliable eye-AF, a first-party 85mm f/1.8 is the safer pick.
How does it compare with the Sony 85mm f/1.8?
The Sirui is a stop faster and gives softer backgrounds, but the Sony focuses faster, is lighter and is sharper wide open.
Does it work on Nikon Z bodies?
Yes, there is a Nikon Z version, including compatibility with the Zf. Check the mount before ordering, since Sony E and Nikon Z versions are sold separately.
What filter size does it take?
It uses 67mm filters, so UV and black mist filters in that size fit directly.
What is in the box?
The lens and a bayonet lens hood. Filters and other accessories are sold separately.
How close can it focus?
The minimum focus distance is 0.85m, so it is a portrait lens rather than a close-up option.
