Description — Sirui 55mm T1.2 RF
The Sirui 55mm T1.2 Cine Lens is a manual focus prime built for Sony E mount mirrorless cameras with APS-C format sensors. Its T1.2 maximum aperture gives cinematographers strong low-light performance and meaningful depth-of-field control in a standard 55mm focal length — a range well suited to everything from interview work to narrative filmmaking. As a dedicated cine-type lens with manual focus only, it fits naturally into video-focused workflows where precise, repeatable focus pulls are the norm.
The lens weighs 587g, offering a solid feel without excessive heft for handheld or gimbal-mounted shooting. A 67mm filter thread makes it straightforward to attach common ND filters, polarizers, or matte box adapters. With no image stabilization, shooters will want to pair this lens with a stabilized platform or a camera body offering in-body stabilization for the smoothest results.
