Have you looked into Sirui 35mm f/1.4? I’ve been impressed with mine—center sharpness is excellent, and the bokeh is beautifully smooth. Autofocus is fast and accurate for stationary or slow-moving subjects, though it can falter a bit in low-light conditions. The only downside I’ve noticed is the narrow gap between the lens mount and the grip. My average-sized fingers fit fine, but I can see how larger hands might struggle.


I have not looked into the Sirui lenses. I will give them a look!

I have discovered there are a few other interesting Chinese AF lenses to add to the list (although I think some of these are for APS-C):

- Viltrox 25mm f1.7 Auto Focus
- Viltrox 27mm F1.2 Pro Autofocus
- Viltrox 28 F1.8
- Viltrox 35mm f1.7
- Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2
- 7ARTISANS AF 35MM F/1.8

If anyone is interested, I went ahead and ordered a 24mm 1.4 GM. I will update here when I have had a chance to play with it.
