FAQs

What is the benefit of a T1.2 aperture?

A T1.2 aperture allows significantly more light to reach the sensor, enabling shooting in very low light conditions with lower ISO settings, resulting in cleaner images and pleasing background blur (bokeh).

What does 'S35' mean for this lens?

S35 refers to Super35 format coverage. These lenses are designed to cover the sensor size commonly found in Super35 cinema cameras, providing a natural field of view without excessive vignetting.

How do I change lenses quickly?

The lenses feature matched gear positions for focus and iris rings. This means that when you switch lenses, your follow focus and/or video transmitter will align with the new lens's gears immediately, saving setup time.

Is this lens compatible with full-frame cameras?

While the lenses are designed for S35 sensors, they may project an image circle that covers some full-frame cameras, potentially with vignetting. It's best to check specific camera compatibility for full-frame usage.

What is focus breathing?

Focus breathing is the change in the lens's field of view that occurs as you adjust focus. These Sirui lenses are engineered to minimize this effect for smoother focus transitions.

Can I use this lens for still photography?

Yes, although designed for video, the lenses can be used for still photography. However, they are manual focus only and lack electronic communication with the camera body.

What is the difference between f-stop and T-stop?

An f-stop is a theoretical measurement of aperture, while a T-stop (Transmission stop) measures the actual amount of light transmitted through the lens. T-stops are more precise for cinematographers.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not mount securely

Ensure the red mounting dots align correctly and rotate firmly until the lens locks. Check the camera mount for any obstructions.

Image appears soft or out of focus

Carefully adjust the focus ring. Ensure the lens is properly seated on the camera mount. Verify focus settings on the camera body if applicable.

Focus breathing is noticeable

While minimized, some breathing may occur. Utilize the long focus throw for smoother transitions and consider practicing focus pulls.

Aperture is not changing

The T-stop is adjusted manually via the aperture ring on the lens. Ensure the ring is not set to a locked position if such a feature exists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent low-light performance with T1.2 aperture.
  • Consistent color rendition across lenses.
  • Smooth and precise 270° focus throw.
  • Reduced focus breathing for professional shots.
  • Quick lens swap capability due to matched gear positions.
  • High optical quality with advanced glass elements.

Cons

  • Limited to E-mount camera systems.
  • Set includes only two prime focal lengths (16mm and 75mm).
  • Requires manual focus and iris operation.
  • Potential for heavier rigs due to cine-style build.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These lenses are designed for Sony E-mount cameras. Mount the lens by aligning the red dot on the lens with the red dot on the camera mount and rotating clockwise until it clicks into place. Adjust aperture and focus manually using the physical rings on the lens barrel.

Compatibility: Compatible with Super35 format cameras featuring the Sony E-mount. Ensure your camera body supports manual cine lenses.

Care: Keep lens caps on when not in use. Clean lens elements with a dedicated lens cleaning cloth and solution. Avoid touching the glass elements directly. Store lenses in a protective case to prevent dust and physical damage. Regularly check lens mount for debris before attaching.
