I ordered the set for my GH5/GH6 and they are currently on the way. I am happy I found another person that used these lenses on M43, as almost all of the reviewers appears to be using them on E or RF mounts. I am going to test them on a short film in August. The only problem I may have is the focal lengths...as I am going to need to use a different lens for wider shots.
Thanks Nathan! According to Sirui, they are making two more lenses in the series: one wider and one longer focal length. I'll definitely make a video on those as soon as I can!
Thanks for the very thorough and helpful video. How do you feel about the 24 mm used primarily for still photography at night? Are there others you would prefer at this lower price point. For reference, I am using the OM1. All the best to you, Bob
Hi Bob, it's important to note that this camera doesn't have autofocus. It wouldn't be my go-to for still photography at night. I'd probably opt for something like the Sigma 30mm: amzn.to/3tuwtpu
That’s a hard choice. An argument could be made to go for any of the three. Remember they’re all 2X. You’ll probably have the most versatility with the widest of the three and still have great bokeh if you need it.
@@RunNGunPhoto It came in, I got a tiffen glimmer glass filter to go with it, love the lens so far!! Used it for a promo video and even got a chance to do a photo shoot with it, and I love the look. Only complaint would be the focus ring is sooooo loose 😅 gotta be very careful not to bump it. Otherwise fav lens I own right now
@@RunNGunPhoto well, it wasn’t specific to the nightwalkers and it wasn’t directly from them, but from CineD (in their video and article reviews), a reputable review company that’s been working with Sirui for a while now. CineD says they will be having 2 new focal lengths for both the Sniper and Nightwalker series. They stated 16 and 75mm 1.2 for sniper. Given the fact that they already have a 75mm cinema lens (anamorphic), and the only difference between nightwalker and sniper is the housing (same glass) it’s safe to say the 16 and 75 (which they ideally would want tk bring to their other series too) will be be the focal lengths for the nightwalker series too, rather than each series having two new focal lengths that are completely different. If anything, they may differ by 1mm like their 23 and 24mm lenses. So, I suppose my statement is more of an educated assumption than confirmation
@@Eyeofkamau Zero. They just dropped 3-4 sets of lenses before the end of the year, so I'm sure they're still in the development stage and won't be releasing anything until Q2 at the soonest. I'll let you know if I hear anything, but it sounds like CineD is just guessing.
Thanks for the review. I really considered buying the whole kit for my old G85, but im really not sure about the focal lengths on M43 :/ Especially the 35m and 55mm im not sure about.
Hi, I'm a beginner. I want to ask, will this sirui cinema lens be good if used on an old camera like the Lumix G85? Please give me an overview. Thank you. 😊
A camera or lens is only as good as the operator. Don't buy new gear thinking that it will give you a skill you don't already have. Is the Night Walker series great? Yes, the image quality is fantastic! But don't discount years of practice it takes videographers and photographers to get great images.

Love the Detroit team lights you have!
Thank you!! 🔥

Thankfully Sirui will be releasing a wider lens, hopefully soon. Definitely needed for establishing shots.
Awesome video man! Definitely hoping they make a slightly wider version for us MFT users.
Thanks Nathan!

I just got the 24mm...i got all the anamorphics for my gh6...had to how the nightwalker stacks up to the1.8 anamorphics
What are your thoughts? I have yet to try any of SIRUI's anamorphic lenses.
Great video brother - a 12mm f/1.2 would be useful for sure 😎
Thank you!
I agree that a 12mm (24 on M4/3) would be super helpful! 👍
If you had to order just one of these lenses which one would you choose? Which is the most useful for cinematic projects/commercials/promos etc
That’s a hard choice.

@@RunNGunPhoto honestly was my thinking aswell, just wanted to hear someone else voice my thoughts. Thank you!
Give it a try man! Let me know how it goes.

@@maxvorobey1316 Glad you enjoy it!
Maybe contact Sirui about the loose focus ring? Mine feels just about right... I'm using it for tomorrow's video.
@7:20 they confirmed it will be a 16mm and a 75mm
Nice! Where did they drop that info? I haven't heard anything yet, other than a long and wider set of lenses were coming soon.

Interesting... I'm speaking directly to Sirui now, and they haven't mentioned those yet...
@@RunNGunPhoto interesting, I guess we’ll just have to see! Are there any focal lengths that they *have* mentioned to you?

Especially the 35m and 55mm im not sure about.
The focal lengths are 2X.
@@RunNGunPhoto Yeah I know. Thats my problem... not sure about the 70mm and 110mm focal length if I use them on MFT :/
I personally love them. Great for close-ups, as you can see in the video.
Do you recommend this for night photography and photography in general?
Absolutely, it's a manual focus lens and it can absolutely be used for photography. Especially low light.
@@RunNGunPhoto Thank you
Do you know if these lenses are weather sealed?
Hey Derek, that’s actually a great question! Let me reach back to my Sirui rep and find out for you!
I heard they are not. I'm buying a couple anyway. I already have the 24 and love it.
Yeah I'm not sure, I can ask my Sirui rep, but since it's not advertised... not likely.

2x times? my brother...come to canon or sony...i did not realize the crop factor for panasonic was THAT much!
It has nothing to do with brand, it's sensor size.
