Lens Overview — Sirui 16mm T1.2 S35

The Sirui Night Walker 16mm T1.2 is a Super 35 format prime cine lens built for cinematographers who need serious low-light capability at a wide angle. With a maximum aperture of T1.2 — a true T-stop rating, not an f-stop estimate — this lens delivers a consistent, measured light transmission that matters when you're exposing on set and need predictable results across a set of matched lenses. At 16mm on a Super 35 sensor, it sits firmly in wide-angle territory, making it well-suited for environmental storytelling, tight interior work, or any scene where you need to pull a viewer into the frame.

The lens is manual focus only, in keeping with its cine-oriented design, which prioritizes smooth, repeatable focus pulls over autofocus convenience. It weighs 800g — substantial but not unusual for a cine prime of this aperture class — and accepts 67mm filters, making it straightforward to integrate with matte boxes or standard filter systems. Available in Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-Mount configurations, the Night Walker 16mm T1.2 offers broad compatibility across today's most popular mirrorless camera platforms, giving shooters flexibility without requiring a mount adapter.

Description — Sirui 16mm T1.2 S35

The Sirui Night Walker 16mm T1.2 is a Super 35 format prime cine lens offering a maximum aperture of T1.2 — a true, measured T-stop value that ensures consistent light transmission for predictable exposure on set. Designed specifically for the Cinema / Video camera system category, it covers a Super 35 image circle and is built around a manual focus workflow, making it a natural fit for scripted productions where a focus puller controls the lens. At 16mm, it occupies wide-angle focal length territory, useful for expansive environmental shots or immersive interior scenes.

The lens weighs 800g and features a 67mm filter thread for easy integration with standard filter systems. It is available in Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-Mount versions, providing broad compatibility across the most widely used mirrorless platforms on the market today. No image stabilization is included, consistent with its cine prime design philosophy.

Pros — Sirui 16mm T1.2 S35

  • ✓Super 35 format coverage matches the sensor size used in a wide range of professional cinema and hybrid cameras
  • ✓Available in four mounts — Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-Mount — covering most major mirrorless platforms

Cons — Sirui 16mm T1.2 S35

  • ✗Manual focus only — no autofocus, which may limit its appeal for solo operators or run-and-gun shooting styles
  • ✗No image stabilization, which at T1.2 in low light means camera movement must be controlled through rigging or operator technique
  • ✗At 800g, the lens adds meaningful weight to a handheld or gimbal rig setup

Is this lens compatible with full-frame cameras?+
The Night Walker 16mm T1.2 is designed for Super 35 format sensors. Using it on a full-frame camera may result in vignetting unless the camera is set to a Super 35 or APS-C crop mode.
Does the Sirui Night Walker 16mm T1.2 have autofocus?+
No — this is a manual focus-only lens. It follows the cine lens convention of smooth, controllable focus pulls rather than electronic autofocus, which suits focus puller workflows on scripted productions.
What is the filter thread size on this lens?+
The lens has a 67mm filter thread, which is compatible with a wide range of standard screw-on filters and can also be integrated into matte box setups using the appropriate step ring.
What does the T1.2 rating mean compared to an f-stop rating?+
A T-stop (T1.2) is a measured value of actual light transmission through the lens, whereas f-stops are calculated geometrically. T-stop ratings are preferred in cinema work because they allow consistent exposure matching across different lenses in a set.
How heavy is the Sirui Night Walker 16mm T1.2?+
The lens weighs 800g. This is worth factoring into your rig planning, particularly if you're building a gimbal or shoulder rig setup where weight balance is important.
