Is this fixed aperture or not? I don't see an aperture ring, and other sites say it is fixed. Your specs show f1.2 to f16.
Asked by: Andy
The Sirui Sniper 16mm f/1.2 Autofocus Lens (FUJIFILM X, Black), like most prime lenses, does not change the f-stop, as it does not zoom. But it has the F/stop range of f/1.2 to f/16. It will stay set to whichever f-stop you set it to depending on the mode you are shooting in.

Has anyone used this with a Nikon z6ii and clarify

Has anyone used this with a Nikon z6ii and clarify why the system does not recommend it for the camera? Seeing it is a Z mount and wondering what the issue may be. Thanks!
Asked by: Caity
The Sirui Sniper 16mm f/1.2 Autofocus Lens (Nikon Z, Black) is not recommended for the Nikon Z6II is because it is designed for the APS-C sensor. The Nikon Z6II is a full frame sensor camera.
