Sigma APS-C Lenses FINALLY Coming to Fujifilm X-Mount?


Not long ago Sigma said they wanted to develop for Fujifilm, but their resources were limited at that time. Now it sounds like they might have freed some resources to start developing lenses for Fujifilm according to one photographer. It’s probably the result of so many asking Sigma to release lenses for X-Mount since Fujifilm has the most professional APS-C system at this time.

16mmF1.4, 30mmF1.4, and 56mmF1.4 have already been released for SONY and OLYMPUS, but they are tailored to EF-M mounts. The rest is Fuji’s XF mount, but this seems to be difficult due to various circumstances. In any case, I was curious that SIGMA started working on Canon’s mirrorless camera lens. – thisistanaka

We have seen a lot of growth from Fujifilm over the past two years and it’s good to see that third parties continue to add support for Fujifilm cameras. Fujifilm has released some their the most interesting mirrorless cameras recently just as Canon and Nikon are joining the format. I think many want to see this develop into a reality because Sigma makes some excellent 3rd party glass, so keep asking Sigma for Fujifilm glass.

Fujiguys: Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR First Look

The Fujinon XF16-80mm F4 R OIS WR looks to be an excellent all-around lens for photographers and will likely become the future kit lens paired with Fujifilm’s higher-end cameras as the XF18-55 ages and lacks weather resistance. If you shoot in inclement weather or desire a weatherproof compact kit this is currently Fujifilm’s best option.

  • Equivalent to 24-120mm in 35mm
  • About 40% lighter than full frame
  • On X-T3 it is less than 1kg or 2.2lbs
  • Great for carrying around all-day
  • Aperture goes from f/4-22 in 1/3 stops
  • 72mm filter thread
  • Constant f/4
  • Weather-resistant
  • Attached to X-T3 it makes a great all-weather camera
  • 6 stops of OIS, but no switch on the lens to turn it off
  • If you want to turn off OIS you can do so in the camera or attach it to a button
  • Minimal focus breathing for video
  • Has a stepping motor that minimizes noise for filming video
  • Size-wise the 16-80mm falls between the 18-55 kit lens and 16-55 f/2.8 red badge lens
  • Image quality wise the 16-80mm falls between the 18-55 kit lens and 16-55 f/2.8 red badge lens

DPRTV: Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 LM WR Review

DPRTV thinks the new Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 LM WR should be called a muffin instead of a pancake. Below are excerpts from their review using the Fujifilm GFX50R.

  • Smallest lightest lens for GFX
  • Buttery smooth focus ring that’s easy to use
  • Fast new linear motor and it’s very fast on the GFX100
  • Not a traditional pancake
  • Fairly complicated formula for a pancake
  • Very Sharp
  • Sharp corners
  • Minimal breathing
  • Easily handles the GFX100
  • Like a 40mm f/2.8
  • If you hate equivalency contact Tony Northrup on IG (LOL)
  • Good performance wide open
  • LoCA is well controlled and minor
  • Pleasing Bokeh that is nice and round, but a little hard and has darker edges
  • A little short for portraits
  • 63mm is probably a better choice for portraits, but the 110mm is the best
  • Lots of resolution to crop
  • 63mm vs 50mm – the 63mm is a stop faster and about a stop more expensive so you can save money with the 50mm
  • A little too close to a 35mm for Chris’ liking
