SIRUI Expands Aurora Series with Two New Fast-Aperture Wide-Angle Autofocus Lenses
The Aurora 15mm F1.6 and 24mm F1.4 combine wide-angle perspectives, fast apertures and creator-focused features for full-frame photography and video production.
SIRUI is expanding its Aurora full-frame autofocus lens series with two new wide-angle additions: the Aurora 15mm F1.6 and Aurora 24mm F1.4. Designed for photographers and video creators, both lenses combine fast maximum apertures, reliable autofocus and practical features to support a wide range of creative applications.
While both lenses offer versatile wide-angle perspectives, each addresses different shooting needs. The 15mm F1.6 focuses on capturing expansive scenes with natural-looking proportions, while the 24mm F1.4 provides a balanced perspective for creators who want to capture both their subjects and surrounding environments.
Aurora 15mm F1.6: Ultra-Wide Perspective with Distortion Control
Combining a 15mm ultra-wide focal length with a fast F1.6 aperture, the Aurora 15mm F1.6 is designed for architectural photography, confined interiors, travel, vlogging and night shooting. Its large aperture provides greater flexibility in low-light conditions, allowing creators to capture more light without relying as heavily on slower shutter speeds or higher ISO settings.
A key feature is its emphasis on distortion control. Ultra-wide lenses can cause straight architectural lines to appear curved and stretch subjects near the edges of the frame. The Aurora 15mm F1.6 is designed to minimize these distortions, helping preserve more natural-looking geometry and subject proportions. This is particularly valuable for architecture and interior photography, as well as video production, where reducing distortion can also mean less correction and cropping in post-production.
For added convenience, the lens features a standard 77mm front filter thread, making it compatible with commonly available ND and CPL filters. This provides a straightforward solution for creators who frequently use filters in photography and video production.

Aurora 24mm F1.4: A Versatile Wide-Angle Lens for Hybrid Creators
The Aurora 24mm F1.4 offers a versatile perspective that captures environmental context while keeping subjects naturally proportioned. Its 24mm focal length provides a wider view than a traditional 35mm lens without the exaggerated perspective often associated with ultra-wide lenses.
With its F1.4 maximum aperture, the lens offers strong low-light capability and greater control over depth of field. It is well suited to interviews, weddings, documentaries, commercial video and run-and-gun shooting.
The lens also incorporates features tailored to video production. Its de-clickable aperture ring allows users to switch between stepped adjustments for photography and smooth, stepless aperture control for video. Additionally, its subtle focus breathing helps minimize changes in framing during focus transitions, making it a practical choice for creators working across both photography and filmmaking.
