CineD had a behind-closed-doors interview with SIRUI for a new lens series the SIRUI Sniper series that comes in E/X/Z mount. The lenses will be f/1.2 AF lenses with focal lengths of 23mm, 35mm, and 56mm with two more coming next year.
All of the lenses will take a 58mm front filter thread. They will come in black and white with a white finish that feels and looks like ceramic. They will be very light at around 400g and carbon fiber is used in its construction. The close focus distance of the lenses is 30cm for the 23mm, 40cm for the 35mm, and 60cm for the 56mm.
There is no final pricing at this time for the lenses but the estimated price is around 350 Euros and the lenses will be available in November 2023 individually or as a set. Unfortunately, they are talking about running a crowdfunding campaign for this series on Indigogo, which can be kind of annoying.
