Review VerdictThe Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 produced pleasing images during our field sessions with the lens, and this also confirms the very decent lab results. The broader center quality is already up there at f/1.4 and the outer image field is quite acceptable. Stopping down adds some extra bite, reaching superb quality around f/4. Lateral CAs are low, whereas axial CAs can be visible in certain scenes. Image distortions are well controlled. The vignetting is visible in critical scenes. Unfortunately, there's no built-in correction profile, although Sirui does provide one for Photoshop users at least (for vignetting correction only). Wide-angle lenses are usually not good at bokeh rendering. While not flawless, the Sirui lens does a decent job here, though. The build quality is, once again, surprisingly good. The outer shell is made of metal, and everything is tightly assembled, and Sirui also implemented some sealing against the elements. The weakest mechanical aspect of the lens is the comparatively slow AF (STM) motor. There is also some focus breathing, which isn't ideal for videos. The Sirui Aurora 35mm f/1.4 is very competitively priced, and given the optical and mechanical qualities, it's certainly a value recommendation.
