Sirui Swift 20mm f/2.4 and 40mm f/2.2: What Budget Autofocus Primes Mean for Event Shooters
Sirui just announced its new Swift lens series: a 20mm f/2.4 and a 40mm f/2.2 autofocus prime, each about 210 grams and priced at 149 USD. They come in Sony E, L-mount and Fujifilm X versions, with a clicked aperture ring, an AF/MF switch and dust and splash resistance. There is no Nikon Z version at launch.
- Where a small 20mm and 40mm help at events: room and stage shots, details, networking moments, and a light second body.
- Where they fall short: dark ballrooms, fast-moving speakers, tight headshots and long reach.
- Tips for San Antonio businesses planning event coverage and headshots.

Would you carry a tiny budget prime as a backup at events, or stick with fast zooms all day?
