If Sigma had incorporated an aperture ring into the design of these and not just a mount conversion I would have pre-ordered all 3 of them - I previously owned them for EF-M and loved them. Sadly, they don't...now I have to decide what to do or if I even want any of them because the aperture rings are one of the best features with owning/using Fuji cameras.
Yeah using command dial is such a problem, man I had to get thumb surgery and brain surgery too but using Fuji aperture ring lenses, I am cured, also I invested into crypto and dick enlargement now I got 2 villas, a loving trio of wives and 16 cars, thanks Fuji!
I just switched from my Sony A6600 with the same Sigma Trio lens to Fuji X-E4 literally on Sunday! Loved the lens and quality output… guessed I picked a good timing to switch over!
@@slimphotog you will not be disappointed at all… I was considering X-S10 with the PASM dials but ultimately decided to get the cheapest X-E4 offering and wait for the nextgen Fuji and get a higher model then… Sony is good especially the autofocus but the shooting experience is very technical but Fuji so far is much more enjoyable even on the X-E4 for me personally and the film simulation as well
@@degs88 Thought that Sigma offer also lens conversion service? Anyway those lenses presents good value if you not going to use particular lens too often.None of the third party lenses are actually optimized to work with X-trans sensor.
Nice review. I own and use a XE-2 and XE-3 (currently using XE-3) and I enjoy the compact setup when using both 23 & 35mm f2 fujion lenses. I think the sigmas maybe to big for my “compact” cameras. I also use vintages lenses and have several from different camera makers my favorite being the Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 and Olympus G zuiko 50mm f1.4 both are very sharp with beautiful image quality and very compact.
These lenses are awesome for the price. I bought 16mm & 30mm because i already have the viltrox 56mm 1.4 . I returned them because i don't like those focal lengths but I'm very impressed. I currently own 23mm F2, 60mm2.4 macro. I had the 56 1.2 & 18-55 kit lenses but they broke on me. I will be getting rid of my viltrox & get the Fuji 56mm 1.2 again. I'm torn between the new 23mm 1.4 & 18mm 1.4 for my wide angle shots.
Hi! Love your channel! Love Fuji colors and looking for an everyday day camera for travel, family, friends, all things photo! Jpg and Fuji emulations/recipes. I want to use interchangeable lenses. Do you recommend the xe4, xt30, or xs10?
Hey man! Great review! Also thanks for comparing against the Ricoh and the Fuji 18mm, to get an idea of quality. It gives a very good idea of what to expect in the real world!
Good video about new Sigma for X-mount. The 56mm seems really good for photo (a good sharp) & for video (portrait frame at 10:20 is really good). Certainly in my bag in a near future.
I have just purchased Fujinon 23mm f2 and Sigma 30mm f1.4. My plan was to test them during week, make decision and return one of them back to shop. I cannot be more suprised - I didn't need week, not day, not one hour. After few shoots I can tell you that Sigma for Fujifilm is much more SHARPER, of course it has BETTER BOKEH (I cant compare with fujinon 23 f1.4, but this one has old SLOOOWER AF speed). As bonus - Sigma is cheaper.
Hey man! I'm glad you're enjoying the new Sigma lenses! I have to say, I'm really impressed with the quality. And I love how you were able to use them in the rain! It's always great to see someone push the boundaries of their photography. Keep up the great work! 😃
I think it’s what you get used to. I’ve been a photographer for 35 yrs since I was a kid and back then it was manual aperture ring and shutter of course. Later with modern DSLRs the aperture control went to a thumb wheel which I found easy because the Av shows in the viewfinder. I didn’t really miss the aperture ring on the lens (even though for many lenses it was still there). When I bought a Fuji last year I through I’d really love getting back to an aperture ring on the lens but I haven’t found that’s the case. Maybe it’s a muscle memory thing but I find it less convenient and slower to set. I shoot in Av all the time and when I switch between my Pentax (thumb wheel Av) and Olympus (thumb wheel Av) and my Fuji I find it less appealing to use the aperture ring. I like the idea of it but the reality less so. Maybe it’s that muscle memory thing.
What did we learn from the video? Hamburg harbor would be a nice location to shoot street photos on a good weather day. Maybe night? Sigma 1.4 primes for Fujifilm APS-C, better late than never? 😐😅
Thanks! I love Sigma that made some of my favourite lenses in my Canon days. I think these are very good but with the Fuji system the main downside is they don't have an aperture ring. I'll test them out anyway. Have fun!
Yeah an aperture ring would make them more useful on certain fuji cameras. And I prefer a dedicated aperture ring, too. But price and performance are great with these sigmas so far! Looking forward to future sigma zooms :)
Great video! I was wondering if you could explain how you did the screen recording on the fuji while you were shooting.. I can never really find an answer whenever I google this lol.
I loved my Sigma lenses when i was shooting Canon. But as i shoot on the X-pro2 for the past 2 years i would miss the aperture ring too much on these lenses. Which is truly a shame, The 56mm f/1.4 looks great for the prize. Only competitor would be the 56mm f/1.4 from Viltrox. And as i read these comments it seems that the rings are the biggest problem for most people.
You mean the shot of the two lenses or the whole forrest scene? :) The shot of the two lenses were recorded with my Fujfilm X-H1 and the forrest clips were recorded with a Nikon D850 and a Tamron 45mm 1.8 lens :)
everybody complaining about fuji's autofocus and its eye/face detection in video mode, and most of them are blaming fuji lenses for that, i wonder would that be fix it if we use these sigma lenses on a fuji camera like x-t4/x-t3 or x-s10 ? since these are at first made for sony or other brand and then they came to fuji so i guess they should be better in terms of videography, can you answer this question for me ?
Hi Samuel, how is the Sigma 30mm handling on the X-E4? Thinking of replacing my 35mm f1.4 with the Sigma because 35mm is often to tight for me. But afraid the Sigma 30mm might be to big on it
I owned the 35mm 1.4 and I think the Sigma is actually lighter and feels more compact because its slimmer than the fuji. In terms of Image quality you can expect good results but the 35mm 1.4 was a tiny bit better overall I think. I actually find the 35mm too tight as well. The 30mm is much more useful for general purpose photography :) You won't get the same "magic" with the Sigma lens though. But maybe that is something thats not so important to you. The Sigma is nothing special but a solid performer and a better focal length.
@@SamuelStreetlife wow, Danke für die schnelle Antwort. I am a little surprised that you find it lighter but I guess this is something to experience onces you hold it. Just a little worried about the missing aperture dial.
Hey man! There was a firmware update to the lenses when they came out and since then the AF has actually been very good! I use the 16mm 1.4 all the time for vlogging or filming myself and the AF never hunts. In my review here I didn't have the final firmware.
@@SamuelStreetlife Hey, thanks for the reply. I just found Viltrox 13mm f1.4. I think I buy that since I used to work in XF10-24mm for corporate video.
Ive been looking into switching into fujifilm cameras and been trying to find the right model. I like the x-t4 as it covers all the basics, but is a little expensive. Anything else you could recommend under 1000EUR?
Lol what an opening Update: great video and super thorough. I just can’t get over the design. Nice to see affordable options but damn, they’re so bland looking 😬
I kind of like the design but they probably look weird on other fuji bodies. The new fuji primes are also not the most interesting looking lenses in my opinion :D
@@SamuelStreetlife I guess that’s what it is, where these lenses seem kinda out of place on a Fuji body? But hey, great to have choice and options for users. Especially with Sigma.
@@SamuelStreetlife I agree with you about the new Fuji primes. To me they look like Sigma design with added Fuji functionality. Also, the size makes them undesirable for me.
@@SamuelStreetlife Thanks Samuel for responding so quickly. That's what i hear also, it's just i never hear it with my fujicron lenses. Love the lens tho! JT
I know the movie isn't about that, but I have a problem with my GR III. In manual mode, I set the aperture to f/9, shutter to 1/500 and Auto ISO with the limit of 3200. When I want to take a photo, my ISO blinks in yellow with the text AUTO ISO 3200 and the value does not change. Is it a software problem or a wrong settings? I have system version 1.50. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Sounds like the camera is telling you that you are underexposing. Yellow means it is a warning sign. The camera wants to go higher than 3200 but you set the limit to 3200. So whenever you get a yellow auto iso signal, it means your image is going to be darker than it possibly should be. So you need to lower the shutter speed or open the aperture. Hope that helps :)
@@SamuelStreetlife I checked purely hypothetically whether the problem persists at a higher ISO limit, but it disappeared and the ISO changes its values. You helped me a lot. Perfectly explained why the problem was occurring. Thank you very much!
Hi, Samuel, my comments herein have nothing to do with the contents of this particular video, sorry about that. I chose this window just for it being the latest on your page and, hopefully, to trigger more interest from your viewers seeking recent tech updates. I watched some of your past videos, mainly those addressing Leicas issues. Then, it came to my attention your underlining that your favorite focus length lens for street photography is the 28mm and this is the reason why it drove me into bringing up some interesting remarks about a number of aspects related to the 28mm lens' specific organic aspects when registering life events, When I say "organic" I mean human soul, human perception of the world around us. I learnt with my dad, (an Oscar nominee for best foreign language feature film, the first southern hemisphere film director to win the golden palm at Cannes intl Film Festival, Best Film awards in San Francisco, Cartagena, Karlowary, Edymburgh, Montreal, Acapulco, and on and on... ) that taking a photograph or making a film is, basically, the art of telling a story through a cine/photo lens. The lens making do for our eyes. It is impossible to be faithful to a good story through cine/photo tools if the storyteller, the director/photographer doesn't mimic his eyes matching the equivalent lens' focal length of his inner mind story. First comes one's desire to tell a story, either to account for his/her actual life experience or to materialize dreams (or nightmares) or, simply, go out there and register whatever is going on in a chosen theater of events. Then, in order to comply with the accurate optical interlaced referenced parameters, chose the most adequate lens for the job. Take, for instance, "The Given Word", one of my dad's highly praised films, 95% shot outdoors at the streets and at the climbing stairs of a church. 95%! His chosen lens for most of the shots? The Cooke 28mm. Indoors? The Angenieux 50mm. In professional film making, choosing a focal length lens for any given scene is a critical issue for its inherent impact on production costs. Wider the focal length, wider the angle of view, more complex and costlier to fulfill the required artistic framework components to fill up all spaces within the recorded imagery. My dad couldn't care less about these secondary "details". "I am watching this drama unfolding out there on the streets, not inside a bedroom. Plug in the 28mm!" So, my dear Samuel and your faithful followers, always bear in mind that the precious, wise choice of your lens for your next shooting out there in real life will play a crucial role in telling your friends, family or the whole world your, so much your story only, will be worth enough the time for their indulging into rare moments of pure pleasure watching. Out on the streets, yes, follow Samuel preference and my dad's second to none, worldwide decision making, pick the 28mm lens! Hurra! Samuel, by the way, Sigma brand, sorry, is a forbidden word in my legitimate referenced acquired dictionary of lenses excellency. I am all ears to listen to why you question such is so. Finally, folks, sorry for any occurrences of misspelling, grammar flaws and the like since English is not my mother tongue. I'm trying hard, believe me.
I know from the Zeiss AF lenses for Fuji that phase AF wouldn't work with those. I suspect the same is true here. So you're stuck with contrast detection AF only which Fuji isn't really pushing anymore. I'm on the Lumix S5 with the 24mm, 35mm and 65mm C DG DN lenses (waiting for my 20) and they perform great on the S5 because contrast based AF is what Panasonic uses for everything. So it's being properly developed with AI recognition, DFD and so on. The full frame Sigma lenses also have AF switches and aperture rings. Honestly, the Sigma aperture and focus rings on those lenses feel better than the ones on native Fuji glass. Which so far were the standard for me. ... You might like them ... just sayin' ;)
The most comprehensive video on the trio so far!!! Great job by you, isn't the autofocus hunting issue more of a Fuji algorithm problem versus a Sigma lenses? I see Fuji struggle with its own lenses even the new ones, just curious on your experience
Thanks Neil! Yes the camera plays a role with autofocus, too. But I do believe in this case it is a lens issue. My Fujinon 18mm 1.4 never hunts in continues AF with tracking. It sticks and the focus is always on the subject and every shot is in focus. With the Sigmas the hit rate is less than 50%. But these lenses will get a final firmware before the release and then it should be much better (hopefully).
@@SamuelStreetlife wow, Sigma is late to the Fuji game and came "untrained out of shape" and it's their autofocus. I have been waiting for these lenses since Fuji XS-10. AAND BTW, you convinced me to get the Ricoh GRIII AND X. Thanks
Would like to have known the close focus distance of these lenses particularly the 16. One of the useful attributes of the Fuji 16 f1.4 is its 15cm close focus distance which give it almost macro capability. However the 30mm intrigues me the most.
i just got the fuji xf16mm! now i'm considering selling that.. what do you think? i'm using it on the x-e4, though, and i don't really think i'd want anything larger than the fuji lens. i also like the focus clutch, and i got it used for ~450€!
@@jacobhelbig As an X-E user myself I don't particularly want to use a rear/front wheel for aperture either, but especially the 56mm is tempting. It''s the smallest of the three, and I guess I'd probably just use it wide open anyway. The 16mm I agree is probably too big, and you might want to adjust the aperture more often.
@@orangorill yeah, the 56mm does seem tempting, but in comparison to the 50mm f2 it's bigger, more expensive, and doesn't have an aperture ring. you get an extra stop of light, which is very handy at that focal length, but i think f2 works just fine at night on my 35mm. it's a tough choice!
@@jacobhelbig Good point. Over here the price is exactly the same, so it comes down to compactness and aperture ring versus a larger max aperture. Honestly I've rarely felt that my depth of field wasn't shallow enough at f/2 (often quite the opposite), but there is something to be said for a little extra light gathering...
Man you worked these three puppies! Amazing!!

So you switched camera body but not brand.Now you shoot Sigma as previous on Sony body so you getting only different camera experiance but not output.

Hi, Samuel, my comments herein have nothing to do with the contents of this particular video, sorry about that.
I chose this window just for it being the latest on your page and, hopefully, to trigger more interest from your viewers seeking recent tech updates.
I watched some of your past videos, mainly those addressing Leicas issues. Then, it came to my attention your underlining that your favorite focus length lens for street photography is the 28mm and this is the reason why it drove me into bringing up some interesting remarks about a number of aspects related to the 28mm lens' specific organic aspects when registering life events,
When I say "organic" I mean human soul, human perception of the world around us.
I learnt with my dad, (an Oscar nominee for best foreign language feature film, the first southern hemisphere film director to win the golden palm at Cannes intl Film Festival, Best Film awards in San Francisco, Cartagena, Karlowary, Edymburgh, Montreal, Acapulco, and on and on... ) that taking a photograph or making a film is, basically, the art of telling a story through a cine/photo lens. The lens making do for our eyes.
It is impossible to be faithful to a good story through cine/photo tools if the storyteller, the director/photographer doesn't mimic his eyes matching the equivalent lens' focal length of his inner mind story. First comes one's desire to tell a story, either to account for his/her actual life experience or to materialize dreams (or nightmares) or, simply, go out there and register whatever is going on in a chosen theater of events. Then, in order to comply with the accurate optical interlaced referenced parameters, chose the most adequate lens for the job.
Take, for instance, "The Given Word", one of my dad's highly praised films, 95% shot outdoors at the streets and at the climbing stairs of a church. 95%!
His chosen lens for most of the shots? The Cooke 28mm.
Indoors? The Angenieux 50mm.
In professional film making, choosing a focal length lens for any given scene is a critical issue for its inherent impact on production costs. Wider the focal length, wider the angle of view, more complex and costlier to fulfill the required artistic framework components to fill up all spaces within the recorded imagery.
My dad couldn't care less about these secondary "details". "I am watching this drama unfolding out there on the streets, not inside a bedroom. Plug in the 28mm!"
So, my dear Samuel and your faithful followers, always bear in mind that the precious, wise choice of your lens for your next shooting out there in real life will play a crucial role in telling your friends, family or the whole world your, so much your story only, will be worth enough the time for their indulging into rare moments of pure pleasure watching.
Out on the streets, yes, follow Samuel preference and my dad's second to none, worldwide decision making, pick the 28mm lens! Hurra!
Samuel, by the way, Sigma brand, sorry, is a forbidden word in my legitimate referenced acquired dictionary of lenses excellency.
I am all ears to listen to why you question such is so.
Finally, folks, sorry for any occurrences of misspelling, grammar flaws and the like since English is not my mother tongue. I'm trying hard, believe me.
It's nice to see Sigma expanding their mirrorless offerings! That video walking test with the music, haha 😆
Bello! I’ve been missing that guy.
What brand of tape do you use to cover the logos? It looks so clean haha
It's none of your damn business what kind of tape he uses. So insensitive the youtube comments these days. Let the man tape in peace.
Just regular Gaffer’s tape is commonly used throughout the photography community. It doesn’t leave any residue if you decide to take them off.
now if sigma could make some GFX lenses that would be great
Why does no one talk about or review the Tokina lenses for the Fuji mount?
Man, I can't believe the image quality of the GR IIIx. So good.
:D
I know from the Zeiss AF lenses for Fuji that phase AF wouldn't work with those. I suspect the same is true here. So you're stuck with contrast detection AF only which Fuji isn't really pushing anymore.
I'm on the Lumix S5 with the 24mm, 35mm and 65mm C DG DN lenses (waiting for my 20) and they perform great on the S5 because contrast based AF is what Panasonic uses for everything. So it's being properly developed with AI recognition, DFD and so on.
The full frame Sigma lenses also have AF switches and aperture rings. Honestly, the Sigma aperture and focus rings on those lenses feel better than the ones on native Fuji glass. Which so far were the standard for me. ... You might like them ... just sayin' ;)
Time to start shooting Fujifilm I guess! 😉😎
Those lens look really good on the X-S10 and X-H1... but i cant say the same about X-E's, X-T's etc... the image quality is really good!!
12:42 Ricoh GR3x is more contrasty and sharper
keen to see those lenses in Australia soon.. :)
Uhhhh 16mm 👀 Have to check that out for suree
Ich würde dann doch das Viltrox 13mm f1.4 bevorzugen. Es hat auch einen rastenden Blendenring und ist besser für Archtektur und Landschaft.
thank you
Nice love this video 📷
The most comprehensive video on the trio so far!!! Great job by you, isn't the autofocus hunting issue more of a Fuji algorithm problem versus a Sigma lenses? I see Fuji struggle with its own lenses even the new ones, just curious on your experience
Thanks Neil! Yes the camera plays a role with autofocus, too. But I do believe in this case it is a lens issue. My Fujinon 18mm 1.4 never hunts in continues AF with tracking. It sticks and the focus is always on the subject and every shot is in focus. With the Sigmas the hit rate is less than 50%. But these lenses will get a final firmware before the release and then it should be much better (hopefully).
@@SamuelStreetlife wow, Sigma is late to the Fuji game and came "untrained out of shape" and it's their autofocus. I have been waiting for these lenses since Fuji XS-10. AAND BTW, you convinced me to get the Ricoh GRIII AND X. Thanks
Nice vídeo Daddy ❤️
I hope they have the 85
Love the behind the scenes the make me lol :D
focus is not dzt its dztdzt it explains everything to me))) love u)
what camera is he using to shoot video?
Fujifilm X-H1 :)
With a friend like Bello... anytime is a great time no matter what weather it is..,😁
Hello Fuji Friends! Welcome to the world of high quality affordable third party lenses ;)
The 16 is very "emotional". What why? "shows the len hunting for focus" ooooh ok 😂
haha
Would like to have known the close focus distance of these lenses particularly the 16. One of the useful attributes of the Fuji 16 f1.4 is its 15cm close focus distance which give it almost macro capability. However the 30mm intrigues me the most.
The Sigma 16mm Minimum Focus Distance is 25cm. The Fujinon is 15cm :)
cool sugma lens!
That's great test, i think i'll get 30mm, danke shon :)
"its not like zzt, but more like zzt zzt." I love your reviews man haha
Lazy from Sigma to not add the aperture ring which is key to exposure with many Fuji bodies and users.
"FIFTY SIX!!!"
Wow so this is the video where you showed off the D850, albeit for a fraction of sec :D
Haha yes! Glad you catched it :D
@@SamuelStreetlife the shutter sound gave it away 😅
i just got the fuji xf16mm! now i'm considering selling that.. what do you think? i'm using it on the x-e4, though, and i don't really think i'd want anything larger than the fuji lens. i also like the focus clutch, and i got it used for ~450€!
Keep the Fuji then! :) You got it for an amazing price and the Sigma is larger.
oh, and i absolutely need an aperture ring. so no sigma for me! glad there's more options and more competition now, though!
@@jacobhelbig As an X-E user myself I don't particularly want to use a rear/front wheel for aperture either, but especially the 56mm is tempting. It''s the smallest of the three, and I guess I'd probably just use it wide open anyway. The 16mm I agree is probably too big, and you might want to adjust the aperture more often.
@@orangorill yeah, the 56mm does seem tempting, but in comparison to the 50mm f2 it's bigger, more expensive, and doesn't have an aperture ring. you get an extra stop of light, which is very handy at that focal length, but i think f2 works just fine at night on my 35mm. it's a tough choice!
@@jacobhelbig Good point. Over here the price is exactly the same, so it comes down to compactness and aperture ring versus a larger max aperture. Honestly I've rarely felt that my depth of field wasn't shallow enough at f/2 (often quite the opposite), but there is something to be said for a little extra light gathering...
Yall being sneaky, is that a X-H2(xtrans4) he's filming you with :)
Oh I wish! :)
