Sirui Sniper 23mm f/1.2 23mm
The f/1.2 maximum aperture on a 35mm-equivalent lens delivers strong subject isolation and smooth, 11-blade bokeh in a compact 380g body. Its STM autofocus is quiet with minimal focus breathing, supporting reliable eye and object tracking for hybrid shooters. This lens is best for street and travel photographers on Fujifilm X-mount who prioritize shallow depth of field over weather sealing.
