Fuji's XF 56mm f/1.2 lens has been a highly popular portrait lens for quite a while, but Sigma lenses have finally arrived for Fujifilm shooters, with the 56mm f/1.4 DC DN being one of the initial offerings. At a little less than half the price the Fujifilm offering, it should certainly catch the attention of a lot of portrait and wedding photographers. This excellent video review compares both lenses to see if you should drop more money on the original or if you can save a bundle by going with the Sigma.
Coming to you from John Branch IV Photography, this great video review compares the new Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens to the long-respected Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R, both of which are equivalent to an 85mm full frame lens, making them perfect portrait offerings. No matter which lens you decide to go with, it is great to see a respected lens manufacturer like Sigma expanding its offerings to new mounts. Not only does doing so offer Fuji shooters more options, it keeps pressure on other manufacturers to continue to innovate and to offer competitively priced equipment, both of which are big wins for photographers. Check out the video above for the full rundown on both lenses.
