Description — Sirui 55mm T1.2 S35 Cine
The Sirui Night Walker 55mm T1.2 is a Super 35 format prime cine lens built for the Sony E mount, targeting cinema and video shooters who need fast glass and manual control in a manageable package. The T1.2 maximum aperture is the standout specification here, allowing for significant light gathering capability and creative use of shallow depth of field in narrative and documentary work. At 55mm, the focal length falls into standard territory on Super 35 sensors, making it well-suited for interviews, medium shots, and general narrative coverage.
This is a manual focus lens with no autofocus, consistent with professional cine lens conventions where focus pullers value precision and repeatability over speed. The lens weighs 587g, keeping it practical for use on gimbals and shoulder rigs without excessive front-loading. A 67mm filter thread ensures compatibility with a broad selection of cine filters and matte box systems.
There is no image stabilization included, so stable imagery depends on the operator's rig or camera body capabilities.
