Sirui 85mm f1.4 Aurora Review: Beautiful Bokeh at Under $700

The Sirui 85mm f1.4 Aurora lens is what I consider to be the best value 85mm lens for the Leica L-mount. Available also for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fujifilm X mounts, it's overall a very hard lens to beat. Most importantly, it boasts 15 aperture blades. That's almost as much as the vintage Zeiss Biotar 58mm f2 that I reviewed back in 2014, and that means the bokeh is beautiful. But it does all that while also having full weather resistance, a metal body, an aperture ring, and does all this while being lightweight and fast to focus. In so many different ways, the Sirui 85mm f1.4 is what every other brand should've made.
