Product Information

Full details

This guide is for filmmakers and videographers using Micro Four Thirds cameras who need versatile, high-performance cine lenses for various shooting conditions. The SIRUI Night Walker T1.2 Cine Lens Bundle offers exceptional low-light capability, outstanding optical quality, and consistent performance across three focal lengths (24mm, 35mm, 55mm) at an affordable price point. A key benefit is the ability to achieve cinematic depth of field and capture clean, low-noise footage in challenging light. However, users should note that these are prime lenses, requiring manual focus and aperture adjustments.

FAQs

What camera mount do these lenses use?

These lenses feature a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount.

Can I use these lenses on a full-frame camera?

While these lenses are designed for Super35 sensors and may cover full-frame sensors, they are optimized for S35 coverage. Using them on a full-frame camera might result in vignetting, especially at wider focal lengths or apertures.

How do I change lenses quickly on set?

The lenses share identical filter threads (67mm), gear positions, and focus ring dimensions, allowing for rapid lens changes without needing to readjust follow focus systems or filter trays extensively.

What is the minimum focusing distance for these lenses?

The minimum focusing distance varies by focal length, but the 16mm lens (mentioned in product description, though not in bundle specs) has a 0.3m minimum focus. For the bundle lenses (24mm, 35mm, 55mm), specific minimum focus distances should be checked individually, but they are designed for close focusing capabilities.

Are these lenses autofocus?

No, these are manual cine lenses. Focus and aperture adjustments are controlled manually via the rings on the lens.

What is the benefit of the T1.2 aperture?

The T1.2 aperture allows for a very shallow depth of field, creating a strong bokeh effect to isolate subjects. It also lets in a significant amount of light, enabling shooting in very low-light conditions with less noise and a more natural image.

What does 'Super35 frame' mean?

Super35 is a film/sensor format standard that is smaller than a full-frame sensor but larger than typical consumer formats. These lenses are designed to project an image circle that covers this sensor size effectively.

What colors are available for this lens series?

The SIRUI Night Walker series is available in Classic Black and Metal Gray (Anthracite).

Troubleshooting

Lens is not focusing sharply.

Ensure the lens is properly mounted to the camera. Check that the focus ring is set to manual focus and adjust carefully. Clean the lens elements if they appear smudged.

Image appears soft or has excessive flaring.

Confirm you are shooting within the optimal aperture range for sharpness. Reduce direct light sources hitting the front element, or consider using a lens hood (if compatible with your setup) to mitigate flare. Check for dust or smudges on the front element.

Focus breathing is noticeable during focus pulls.

While these lenses are designed for minimal breathing, some may still be present. Practice smooth, deliberate focus pulls. Ensure you are not over-extending the focus throw.

Aperture ring is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently exercise the aperture ring. If the stiffness persists, contact customer support as there might be an internal issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent low-light performance due to T1.2 aperture.
Consistent color rendition and image quality across the set.
Minimal focus breathing for smooth focus transitions.
Uniform design simplifies on-set lens changes.
Affordable entry into cine lens performance.
Sharp imagery even at maximum aperture.

Cons

Manual focus and aperture operation requires user control.
Super35 coverage means they might not fully cover larger full-frame sensors without noticeable vignetting.
Lens hood is not included.
Specific lens weights may vary slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These lenses are designed for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras. Ensure your camera's lens mount interface is compatible before purchase. They are suitable for both APS-C and S35 sensors and can cover full-frame sensors, though edge-to-edge sharpness may vary on larger formats.

Setup: Mount the lens by aligning the red dot on the lens with the corresponding mark on your camera's MFT mount. Rotate clockwise until it clicks into place. To adjust focus and aperture, use the manual focus ring and the stepless aperture ring on the lens. The lens features a uniform 67mm filter thread for easy attachment of filters.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the lens.
Storage: Store lenses in their protective case or a padded camera bag when not in use to protect from dust, moisture, and impact.
Handling: Avoid touching the lens elements with your fingers. Always handle lenses by their body.
Environment: Protect lenses from extreme temperatures and humidity.
