I’ve already got the full frame autofocus Meike 85 mm F1.4 Z mount and at F1.8 or more had great portrait results .. similar price to this lens although I can see $70 reduction on Amazon currently .. For my amateur use fits my needs perfectly and without breaking the bank . This lens looks smaller which is a good plus ..
Haven’t tried the Meike yet. They reached out for me to review their lenses but haven’t had a chance to try them so far. Yes the size of this one is very attractive. Easier carry
I am interested in the 85 f/1.4 Z lens. I already have the F mount 1.8 lens but wanted to wait for f1.4 to get the Z version. As you said, Nikon is probably working on one, but this can be a good replacement. Thx and Happy New Year 🎉
serious question. How easy is it to run an update on a Sirui lens? It's one of the main reasons putting me off third party lenses of any brand not just Sirui. I ask because upgrading Godox flashes is not easy
Wow, this is a sleeper lens I think the best comparison would be against the legendary sigma 85 1.4 now that lens is light compact, and my God, the images just pop
Actually, I use Sigma FE DG DN on my Zf with a rather perfect autofocus adapter. It works like a charm and I have this magical Sigma look on my Zf ! Take a look at Megadap Sony E to Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter (ETZ21 Pro)!
To be fair, no auto focus lenses are future proof. I've had a couple af motors fail on both nikon AF-D and G lenses. Its not exactly cheap to repair either. If you want future proof lenses, buy manual focus lenses. They will outlast all of us. This thing is alright for $500, best part is you can order it now and start using it to your hearts content 😊
Happy new year,🎉great lens at a reasonable price,thanks for sharing

I would love to listen to you narrating a book
@@OnlyCitrus hahaha thanks

Happy New Year! No word of Nikon will make it or not. Seems like they would but never know
The firmware is available for the Nikon version. Not sure what it does, but I do see the lenses focuses better
@@warrenc2306 so far only Sony I see on their website. If you have a link to the Nikon version please let me know.

Good question. I haven’t tried running a firmware update from them so I’m hoping it’s quite simple
15 aperture blades? Wow
Yeah impressive for the price

It is indeed! I think it would hold up well to the Sigma
1.4 baby!
Indeed!

So true.
We definitely need a lot more L-Mount lenses…
Agree. I asked them about their anamorphic lenses for L mount. Hopefully they make them
@ that and open gate on the SL3-S? Maybe? Sounds awesome? Or just wishful thinking? 🤣🤣
@ hahaha I don’t know what your referring to 😂😂
Sigma for God sake just do nikon z lenses
@@QbekR agree
I’d like their 90mm 2.8
@ true. Would be great for Z mount
Tamron, Viltrox for God’s sake just do L mount lenses😢

That is a tempting price, but I will wait on Nikon. 3rd party lenses aren't exactly future proof especially when they skirt licensing fees.
Yeah not sure if SIRUI did this or not. Feels like they got approval for it but who knows.
