5mm equiv. ).
The lens's optical formula uses 16 elements in 11 groups, with three aspherical lenses, two ED elements and one SED element and HRI element, each. It has a 13-blade aperture and a minimum focusing distance of 0. 35m (13. 8").
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's a USB-C port for firmware updates.

The lens weighs around 490g (1. 1lb), with a bit of variation depending on which version you get. It's around 103mm (4. 1") long, and takes 62mm filters. Sirui says the lens is dust and weather-sealed, and has a fluorine coating on the front element to repel oil and fingerprints.
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's priced like one, too. It retails for $549 and is available to order now.
