- Is the Sirui 35mm T1.4 good for documentary work?
- Yes, if you are comfortable focusing by hand. The fast aperture helps indoors and at dusk, and the light body suits handheld and gimbal work. It is not weather sealed, so protect it in rain and dust.
- Does it autofocus?
- No. It is a manual-focus cine lens with a geared focus ring. You focus by hand or with a follow focus, and the camera's autofocus does not drive it.
- Which mounts are available?
- Nikon Z, Sony E, Canon RF and L-Mount. Pick the version that matches your camera body, since the mount is fixed.
- What filter size does it take?
- It uses 67mm filters. That is a common size, so ND and polarizer filters are easy to find and share with other lenses.
- Is it weather sealed?
- No. The aluminum body has no stated environmental resistance, so use a rain cover and avoid dust and moisture.
- Is a 35mm T1.4 a good first cine lens?
- It is a versatile wide-normal focal length for full-frame, good for interiors, groups and handheld work. If you mostly shoot tight portraits or long-lens scenes, a longer prime would suit you better.
