Sirui joins L-Mount Alliance, offers budget-friendly lenses

Sirui, a lens manufacturer from China, has joined the L-Mount Alliance. This partnership includes well-known brands like Leica, Panasonic, Sigma, and DJI. Sirui's move is exciting for those looking for affordable, high-quality camera lenses. The first lens Sirui will release for the L-Mount system is the Aurora 85mm f/1.4. This lens is a portrait prime with autofocus, a feature that is not common for Sirui. It is lightweight, weighing only 504 grams. Sirui's lenses are already available for other camera mounts like Nikon Z, Sony E, and Fujifilm X, priced at around $499. This pricing is attractive for those seeking a fast full-frame prime lens. Sirui also produces cinema lenses, which could bring new options for filmmakers using L-Mount cameras. The company announced its new lens on Facebook but did not provide a release date. However, they indicated more autofocus lenses for the L-Mount would be released before the end of 2025. Overall, Sirui's addition to the L-Mount Alliance is good news for budget-conscious camera users. Many are eager to see what other lenses Sirui will develop for this system in the future.
