Four New Sirui Lenses Are On The Way
Sirui is preparing four new full-frame autofocus lenses, with two additions to its existing Aurora series and two models introducing an entirely new lineup called Swift. The upcoming Aurora 15mm f/1.6 and 24mm f/1.4 were already shown as prototypes at IBC 2026, but detailed specifications have now surfaced through retailer listings. Both follow the general design of the existing Aurora 35mm and 85mm f/1.4 lenses, with STM autofocus, aperture rings, customisable function buttons and weather-sealed bodies. The 15mm is particularly interesting because, despite its ultra-wide focal length and relatively bright f/1.6 aperture, it still accepts standard 77mm screw-on filters.
The Aurora 15mm f/1.6 uses 17 elements in 12 groups, weighs 540g and focuses down to 0.3m. The 24mm f/1.4 has 14 elements in 11 groups, weighs 550g and offers a shorter minimum focusing distance of 0.26m, with a maximum magnification of 0.15x. Both have 11-blade apertures and no optical stabilisation. Meanwhile, the new Swift series focuses much more on size and weight. The 20mm f/2.4 weighs 205g, while the 40mm f/2.2 comes in at 210g. Both use 58mm filters, nine-blade apertures and STM autofocus, with the same aperture ring, Fn button and AF/MF switch found on the larger Aurora lenses.
There are still a few details that need clarification, particularly regarding mount compatibility. Retailer listings mention Sony E, Nikon Z, L-Mount and Fujifilm X for all four lenses, although Sirui previously confirmed only Sony E and L-Mount for the new Aurora models. That is worth keeping in mind because Sirui had already stopped selling its autofocus lenses for Nikon Z earlier this year. The Swift 20mm also appeared with conflicting aperture specifications in one listing, although product photos indicate f/2.4 rather than f/2.2. According to the latest information, the two Aurora lenses should arrive within the next two months, priced somewhere between $500 and $600 each. Pricing and exact availability for the Swift models have not been confirmed yet.
