    It should be said that lenses designed for APS-C being more compact only applies to wide-angle & wide-normal lenses because those are ranges where the size of the front element and rear retrofocus lens group (which focuses the light tighter onto the sensor) is largely depended on the actual field of view (e.g a 14mm for full frame requires a very large front element to capture light from dramatically steeper angles, while an APS-C 14mm can be much smaller). At telephoto ranges above ~80mm this difference completely diminishes, and the size of the lens is basically entirely decided by the focal length and aperture value which mathematically is the same regardless of sensor size, and so even if the rearmost lens group could be smaller for an APS-C variant, the size of the barrel would still be the same to support the rest of the lens body.
    TLDR Sigma made the right choice to adapt it to Fuji as-is, and it seems like a great lens.

      @spakecdk ปีที่แล้ว +1

      About your aperture comment - is this really true? I though that the f-stop was the ratio between the lenses pupil opening and the image circle size. So a lens designed for a larger sensor would have a physically larger pupil, thus having shallower depth of field (the amount light hitting the sensor is the same though because of the crop)

    • @JorenVaes
      @JorenVaes ปีที่แล้ว +8

      ​@@spakecdk f-stop is the focal length to the aperture diameter, not image circle diameter. So an 200mm F2 will always have to have an opening of at least 100 mm, regardless of it projecting an image on a 1/2" sensor in a phone or a medium format sensor.
      The difference is that to project on a medium format sensor, the 'view angle' of the lens will also become larger and larger, and at some point the front element will have to become larger than the minimum size dictated by its aperture, as the original commenter pointed out.
      And ofcourse, the 200 mm lens on a 1/2" sensor will have a tiny angle of view, so it will appear much, much more 'zoomed in' as it will on a medium or large format application. So when you look at a use case, perhaps a 200mm f2 would be competing against a 600 f4, and then suddenly the size argument does come into play again.

      @@spakecdk No, that's correct, and that's exactly what I said is the reason why a telephoto lens will have the same size regardless of the sensor it's made for. But on a ultrawide lens, you have to take into account both the entrance pupil AND the required angle of view. Look e.g at the Viltrox 13mm 1.4, and compare it to the Sigma 14mm 1.4 ART. Despite both having almost the same entrance pupil size (9,3mm & 10mm) the Sigma is so huge because 14mm on full frame has a dramatically larger field of view, therefore requiring a larger bulbous front element even though the entrance pupil is almost the same.
      Whereas on a telephoto, the difference in angle of view is too small to really affect the lens size, and thus the size is ONLY dependent on the focal length and aperture ratio.

    If anyone out there is interested in a good affordable telephoto lens for Fujifilm, look at the relatively new Tamron 150-500 f5-6.7. You lose a little bit on the wider end but it also gives you a bit more reach than the 400.

    Great coverage of this lens Chris. One aspect that lens and cameras reviewers never cover is how well does equipment work in cold weather. I can see why when all the reviews are done in nice weather. Well I bought a Sigma 100-400 lens for my Canon 90D in November. It’s now January 2024 and here in Toronto it’s -8 to -16C. I’ve had my 100-400 out in subzero weather and it works perfectly, focus is fine and most importantly the zoom ring turns as smoothly as ever. Not so much with some other lenses I have. They get stiff in cold weather. My experience anyway.

    The X-T3 is still an absolutely incredible camera. I use it a lot for video, though never with autofocus as my Canon FD collection does not feature any autofocus. The only thing I feel like really missing out is the dynamic range of the new Fuji sensors. Going from ~10.5 stops to around 14 stops in video is just night and day. Where the X-T3 will blow out windows when filming inside, the X-H2s will retain a good amount of information in them. I'll drive my X-T3 into the ground before I let it go though; for photography especially it is still an incredible camera - though after the recent price hikes not as good as a used deal anymore (I could sell my X-T3 now for close to what I bought it for more than three years ago).
    These videos really want to make me invest in some modern lenses and get back into shooting with autofocus.

      I'm really curious how FLog2 works on your sensor. After all, it's supposed to read the sensor in 14bit and thus get more dynamic range than FLog. I always assumed this was a limitation of the sensor, but maybe it actually is of the image processor and they managed to squeeze out 14bit readout for the old sensor...?

      Its FLOG2 thats responsible for the dynamic range difference, its hardly 3.5 stops, its more like 1 stop in highlights and maybe half a stop in the shadows, thats still significant.
      X-S20 has FLOG2 but the X-H2s has better codecs to utilise more information. Its also dumb to shoot interior video without using lights, there no excuses in this regard as even Hollywood cinema cameras uses ND filter on windows and large sets of interior lights to get good lightning, thats why Hollywood movies look good, its not the camera, its the set production is off the rocker in terms of budget.

      To be honest,All 5lens are great.Very difficult to choice.Depend on how to use the lens.
      My opinion is ultra-telephoto lens is more than 400mm[APS-C].Only TAMRON18-300mm is not ultra-telephoto lens.But super versitile i recomend as well.But it has CONS "Maybe someone will need more focal distance&resolution&AFperformance in the future"…
      so i would recomend to buy TAMRON18-300mm first.and after it need more focus lengh.go to TAMRON150-500mm[strongry recomend!nice lens] or XF150-600mm.
      I wish to be release 50or60mm〜400or500mm for APS-C lens in the future like TAMRON
      50-400mm.

    It is worth noting that it is the same lens that was already released on F and EF mount (I think Pentax K and Sigma SA mount as well) but with its base extended to account for the shorter flange distance on mirrorless cameras.
    This is a great, albeit old lens. That's one of the reasons the price is low.
    Also, it's decently able to exploit the 26MP sensor in those Fujis but it's a bit on the limit of its capabilities go. I'm sure a lot of X-T5 or X-H2 users woukd see the softness with a 40MP sensor, in which case I woukd advise either going for the Fuji 100-400 or thr Tamron 150-500 which is in the same price range as the Fuji.

      The Sigma has 2/3 of a stop of light at the long end - but the 70-300 + 1.4x TC has a shorter MFD, a (single) linear motor, and (with TC) 0.5x magnification for better close semi-macro. The two are very price comparable too.

      @@PrimalShutter The Olympus version is slightly different; the last optical group before the sensor was modified for m4/3, so could well be optimised for smaller sensors, whereas this X-mount Sigma has the exact same optical formula as the Full Frame version.
      Having said that I also don't see an issue with this lens' performance on highly pixel-dense sensors, as Sigma wouldn't have released it for X-mount if it wouldn't work well on the latest X-mount cameras.

    I had the optics on a Lumix S1 and the S1R some time ago because the reviews on Sony E were mostly very positive. However, I was not very fond of the performance at the edges. The PanaLeica 4/70-200mm was much better with the 2x teleconverter. Of course, it may be that the optics on APS-C thus present themselves much better.

Pode parecer que são antigas em recursos em relação a R8, mas ela sempre tem ressalvas que a A7iii e a7c não tem.

    Now we wait for m43 version. Olympus 100-400mm is basically a rebranded previous DSLR version of this Sigma lens, so why we couldn't get this one for OM-1. Olympus 100-400mm does not benefit from SH2 50fps nor Sync-IS features so lack of these functionalities on the new Sigma wouldn't be a major problem. Of course mark II of Olympus 100-400mm based on this new Sigma that would Sync with IBIS and support SH2 50fps would be awsome, but at that point who cares? Without such a lens I wonder if I should not ditch OM-1. For wildlife 20MPix, 20fps C-AF, and UNSync-IS is nothing to write home about. 600mm f8 FF equivalent Olympus lens that is optically great but not stellar FOR $3000!!! of 300-1000mm f9-11 FF equivalent lens that is optically very good but not great for $7500!!! $#^%#^&#&!!! to use it with 20Mpix body is not a reasonable option for anyone except for OM-System ambassador. Regular wildlife users of OM-1 needs a reasonabluy priced zoom lens with very good optical quality (not neccesarily great) that let them benefit from OM-1 two key unique OM-1's wildlife-related assets: great IS and super fast drive modes.
