It has a 13-blade aperture and a minimum focusing distance of 0.35m (13.8&#8243;).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of focusing, it has a stepper design and a physical switch for going between auto and manual focus modes. It also has an iris lock switch to keep it in auto mode, as well as a customizable function button and a switch to change the aperture ring between clicked and clickless delineations. As with many Sirui lenses, there&#8217;s a USB-C port for firmware updates.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"images noCrop singleNoBorder center\" data-image-height=\"null\" data-image-width=\"590\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"image\" style=\"width: 590px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/files\/p\/articles\/1801994649\/sirui_aurora_35mm_f1p4_switches_and_buttons.jpeg\" target=\"article-1801994649\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-thumbnail-height=\"0\" data-thumbnail-width=\"590\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/4.img-dpreview.com\/files\/p\/E~TS590x0~articles\/1801994649\/sirui_aurora_35mm_f1p4_switches_and_buttons.jpeg\" width=\"590\" data-filename=\"sirui_aurora_35mm_f1p4_switches_and_buttons.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4.img-dpreview.com\/files\/p\/E~TS1180x0~articles\/1801994649\/sirui_aurora_35mm_f1p4_switches_and_buttons.jpeg 2x\" alt=\"sirui aurora 35mm f1p4 switches and buttons\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"caption\" style=\"width: 590px;\"><em>Image: Sirui<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The lens weighs around 490g (1.1lb), with a bit of variation depending on which version you get.

Sirui says the lens is dust and weather-sealed, and has a fluorine coating on the front element to repel oil and fingerprints.<\/p>\n<p>The lens seems like a good option for anyone looking for a fast, wide-angle lens they can carry around with them day-to-day, and it&#8217;s priced like one, too.
