SIRUI Launches Swift Series with Two New Compact, All-Glass Full-Frame Autofocus Lenses

SIRUI has officially launched its new Swift series, introducing two ultra-compact, budget-friendly full-frame autofocus prime lenses built for everyday carry and hybrid creation: the SIRUI Swift 20mm F2.4 and SIRUI Swift 40mm F2.2. Engineered with all-glass optics in a lightweight body weighing just over 200 grams, the Swift series delivers fast, quiet autofocus and dedicated physical controls for photographers and videographers looking for portable full-frame glass without sacrificing optical quality.

Swift 20mm F2.4: Ultra-Wide Perspective with Close-Up Versatility

Offering an expansive 91.5° diagonal angle of view, the Swift 20mm F2.4 is tailored for sweeping landscapes, architecture, street photography, and handheld vlogging. Its optical formula consists of 11 elements in 9 groups, incorporating two aspherical elements, two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, and two high refractive index (HRI) elements to control distortion and chromatic aberration from corner to corner. With a close minimum focusing distance of 0.2m (7.9 in) and 0.14x maximum magnification, creators can move in tight on foreground subjects while preserving dramatic wide-angle environmental context and smooth background blur.

Swift 40mm F2.2: Natural Everyday Perspective with Bright Aperture

The Swift 40mm F2.2 delivers a natural 55.9° field of view that sits comfortably between classic 35mm and 50mm focal lengths, making it an ideal walk-around prime for street documentary work, travel, portraits, and daily storytelling. Built with 11 all-glass elements in 8 groups—including one aspherical element and two ED elements—the lens pairs crisp rendering with a bright f/2.2 maximum aperture for reliable low-light gathering and shallow depth-of-field separation. It focuses down to 0.4m (1.3 ft) for a 0.14x reproduction ratio.

Designed for Modern Creators

Both lenses utilize a stepping motor (STM) autofocus system engineered for rapid, quiet, and accurate subject tracking alongside minimal focus breathing for smooth video focus transitions. Despite their entry-level price point, both Swift primes include tactile ergonomics typically reserved for higher-tier lenses: a clicked aperture ring, a physical AF/MF switch, and a customizable Fn button. Both lenses also share a unified 58mm front filter thread, include a petal-shaped lens hood, and feature weather-sealed, dust- and smudge-resistant construction for reliable location shooting.

Pricing and Availability

Both the SIRUI Swift 20mm F2.4 and SIRUI Swift 40mm F2.2 are priced at US$149 each. The lenses are available to order in Sony E-mount, Leica L-mount, and Fujifilm X-mount.
