Sirui Aurora 85mm f/1.4

Pros: Great bokeh rendering and well-built

Cons: AF can be slow when following subject back and forth, slightly less contrast, a bit tacky cosmetic choices

Opinion: I have had this lens for about four months now and I have loved every output from this lens. It has a great rendering and it is pretty sharp even wide open at f1.4, however, it can be soft at times depending on angle of the light. The contrast is a bit low but that is easy to fix in post-process. AF is great when following subject side-ways but it can be slow when following the subject to/away from the camera. I haven't done any extensive testing but from previous photo shoots, I have missed a few shots. Build quality is great as well. It is all-metal construction and it is weather-sealed. The only thing I hate about it physically is the text/font choices. It makes the lens look less "professional". Other than that, I am very happy with this lens.
