Sirui Aurora AF 85mm 1.4 FF für Nikon Z

The Sirui Aurora 85mm f/1.4 produced decent results during our testing. It's not as sharp as some other lenses at f/1.4, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to portraits at least. Stopped down to f/2, the quality is lifted substantially, and it's tack sharp at medium aperture settings. The performance deteriorates at very close focus distances, though. Vignetting and lateral CAs are low. The pincushion distortions can be quite noticeable in critical scenes. There's no built-in correction profile, but there's a downloadable profile for Photoshop, and DxO Photolab supports the lens out-of-the-box. Axial CAs (LoCA) are on the high side. Where the lens shines is the bokeh. If you check out our sample gallery, you may find some silky smooth background renderings there. In terms of build quality, the lens feels very substantial despite being the most lightweight in its class. The metal lens body is reassuring, and Sirui implemented extensive weather-sealing against the elements. The AF is quite fast, although not "sports fast". The Sirui Aurora 85mm f/1.4 isn't perfect, but at just $449-549 USD, it's almost a bargain.
