The Sirui Sniper 23mm f/1.2 Autofocus lens is part of the inaugural set of autofocus lenses designed for APS-C cameras. It is an extremely fast prime lens with a shallow depth of field and high-quality bokeh, producing sharp, focused images with clear subject isolation.

The fast and accurate autofocus supports eye and object tracking, even when the subject is in motion. The STM motor ensures a silent autofocus experience with minimal focus breathing, which is particularly useful for videographers.

The lens is configured for cameras with APS-C sized sensors, with a full-frame equivalent of 35mm, suitable for street photography, travel, interior architecture, and wider scenes. It features high refractive elements that reduce the unit's size and improve optical performance, minimizing flares and ghosting.

The 11-blade aperture design contributes to the lens's smooth, attractive bokeh.
