Fast Prime Lenses on a budget - Sirui Sniper 23, 33 and 56mm for Fujifilm X

I love my Fujinon fast prime lenses but what if you are on a budget? Sirui asked me if I wanted to test out there new Sniper series of affordable fast lenses. They are releasing a 23, a 33 and a 56mm, all with a maximum aperture of F1.2
I can clearly remember how I started my career on affordable third party lenses so I wanted to test these for those who are in the same shoes that I was in 20 years ago. Are these lenses any good, find out in this video.
I tested these lenses with the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2s.

Thank you! Refreshingly different and yet to the point! And thank you for the fotoshoot footage, really nice pictures, and what a lovely model. I am just now looking for faster primes below 56mm for a choir concert fotoshoot in a few weeks and so your review came perfectly timed.

Thank you, glad you liked the video

Hi mate, good to see you making videos again. Hope you and the family are all good. If you're ever in Scotland again you know where we are :)

PLEASE NOTE: firmware V1.0.6 is out for all 3 lenses. Nice job sir, new subscriber!

5:48, the focus is not off, its simply on the wrong eye. Fuji eye AF will often choose the further away eye if that eye has more light and contrast, so you need to toggle to the other nearest eye. Her further away eye is however perfectly focused and with enough sharpness.

It happens occasionally with native glass but far less than with these lenses.

Great - not only gear talk - video. And indeed, well done both ⚡️

[@bertstephani]

I always try to make it more about what you can do with the gear. :-)

This video just popped up on my feed. I think I missed the Deadline.

Have you noticed that the camera’s IBIS does not function with this lens attached?

[@bertstephani]

I must admit that I haven't tested it. I shot mainly stills at decent shutter speeds during my test.
