Sirui has officially announced the Aurora 35mm f/1.4, a fast full-frame prime lens made for Sony E, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, and L-mount cameras. It is built with 16 elements in 11 groups, designed to keep images sharp and clean while minimising distortion and flare. The bright f/1.4 aperture makes it great for low-light shooting and creating shallow depth of field, while the 13-blade diaphragm helps produce smooth, round bokeh. Autofocus runs on a quiet STM motor, but there is also full manual control if you prefer to handle focusing yourself.

The lens can focus as close as 0.35 meters (about 1.15 feet), with a maximum magnification of 0.14x, not macro-level close, but enough for detail shots. On a full-frame body, it gives a 65.7° diagonal field of view, which works pretty well for portraits, street photography, or general everyday shooting. The focus ring rotates a full 360 degrees for more precision, and you also get an AF/MF switch, an aperture click on/off switch, an AFL button, and an iris button for quick control while shooting.

Physically, the Aurora 35mm f/1.4 measures just over 100mm long and weighs around 500 grams depending on the mount. It uses a 62mm filter thread and has a 76mm diameter. The front element includes an anti-smudge fluorine coating to resist oil and fingerprints, and the lens body is sealed to protect against dust, dirt, and raindrops. The lens is priced at $549.
