Sirui's AF portrait prime — the Aurora 85mm f/1.4 for Sony FE with autofocus capability.

The Sirui Aurora 85mm f/1.4 for Sony FE is an autofocus portrait prime from Sirui's Aurora stills lens line — expanding beyond their cinema and anamorphic roots. At 85mm f/1.4 with full AF and Sony eye detection, it targets portrait photographers wanting fast aperture at competitive pricing.

Optical performance is good for the competitive pricing. Sharpness is respectable from f/1.4 and very good by f/2. The 85mm f/1.4 provides classic portrait bokeh and DOF separation. Full AF with Sony face and eye detection. The Aurora designation indicates Sirui's entry into the AF stills lens market — a new direction for the brand.

Sony FE mount with full electronic communication. Filter thread is 67mm. Weight is approximately 560 grams — moderate. Build quality is good. No weather sealing. The AF with eye detection makes this dramatically more practical than Sirui's manual cinema primes for stills work. The Aurora line is Sirui's stills market expansion.

Limited availability as a very new lens. Check AF accuracy — critical at f/1.4 on 85mm. An interesting new competitor in the 85mm f/1.4 market. Sirui brings cinema lens engineering experience to stills. The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8, Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art, and Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 are the main competitors at various price points.
