Fujifilm users have reason to smile today, as they will no longer be left out of the Sigma lens party. The company has announced their first three lenses for the Fujifilm X mount, and all three are impressively affordable. This great video review takes a first look at the new lenses and the sort of performance and image quality you will be able to expect from them.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this excellent video overview takes a first look at the new Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary, 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary, and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lenses for Fujifilm X Series users. No doubt, the arrival of Sigma on Fujifilm is quite exciting, as the company has earned a reputation for producing affordable, high-quality lenses, and with these three lenses coming in between $339 and $479, it seems that trend is continuing. All three of them have previously appeared for APS-C Sony E mount and Canon EOS M mount cameras and have generally received quite good reviews, and it looks like the Fujifilm versions have continued that trend. Hopefully, we'll see more lenses (like the Art series) make their way over as well. Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the new lenses.
Awesome! These lenses were the only reason that I stuck with Sony APSC so long. Now that I'm a Fuji Shooter, I'm getting them as well. Fuji makes great lenses, but are expensive and don't perform nearly as well as this magical trio.
That's good, but Sigma has lenses that don't duplicate models available from two makers right now, so maybe they should run with some of those...
I have the 30mm one for EF-M mount. It is a good lens, although I didn't use it much because I discovered over time that I preferred the field of view of a FF 24mm equivalent rather than a nifty 48. But that has nothing to do with the quality of this lens. The only thing that I missed was the aperture and focus controls. I am a manual lenser at heart.
It’s good that more options are here, but I’ll be sticking to the OEM lenses I think.
