What are the alternatives to the sirui sniper 23mm f 1 2?

The Sirui Sniper 23mm f/1.2 frames like a 34mm lens on APS-C, so the simplest alternative is a standard prime in the same range. The first lenses guide suggests a 33-35mm lens at f/1.4 to f/1.8 on APS-C for low light, people, and food. It's a good fit if you want a fast standard lens without the f/1.2 price tag.

If you want to stay with Sirui's f/1.2 primes, the 56mm f/1.2 and the 75mm f/1.2 are the other two on this site. For portraits, I'd pick the 56mm. On APS-C it does the job of a classic 85mm, as covered in the portrait lens guide.
