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.
