Aurora 85mm F1.4 overview
The Sirui Aurora 85mm F1.4 is an 85mm f/1.4 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, Nikon Z, L-Mount and Fujifilm X, announced by Sirui in October 2024. 106 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and low light. It is a weaker pick for close-ups.
No store we track in Australia has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at A$600.
Worth comparing it with the Viltrox AF 85mm F1.4 Pro, Panasonic Lumix S 85mm F1.8 and Tokina atx-m 85mm F1.8 FE.
