The 2:37 photo is just on another level. What a model, what a pose, what a composition. Just perfect catch.
100% agree. Fantastic shot
I concur. Wow.
this girl master jojo's poses😂
😂😂😂
These poses and compositions were amazing!! :O. Absolutely loving your content.
On another note, you are one of the creators who have inspired me to try and make it as a Fuji Wedding Photographer in the UK 🥰
Are you doing wedding photography now? How’s it going? I hear it’s supposed to be good money.
@@kristiangurholt59 Hello! And yes I am, full time self-employed and having thrown myself into the deep end a little.
It’s been up and down, but I have a few more booking this year and some for next year as well. Just need to keep pushing and promoting myself so that I can become more established in my are :)
Sigma seems to be leaning cooler and a smidge green. Not enough to affect the image, but you notice greens pop out a bit more with the Sigma
Regardless, it's great to see heavy-hitters like Sigma entering the Fujifilm space, finally! I feel like the 30mm rendered more muted colors / affected the white balance a bit, which I've noticed from many Sigma lenses in the past. Both seem like good options.
Yes, this^
Yeah seems like contrast is less with the sigma too
They appear equally fast. A slight difference in contrast and colour, but otherwise I think they're just as good as one another.
Always get to learn the composition and poses from your video's. Thank you John!
Glad to hear that! Happy to share knowledge.
Fujifilm is the clear winner for me in every photo. Sadly it's also 2.5x the price where i live, so i might get the sigma anyways
I think the Fuji is a bit better. But, it’s also twice as much. If your in a budget the Sigma would be fine. I know people don’t like the sigma because it has no aperture ring. It’s not a deal breaker for me.
I have 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.
Can you clarify? You said the sigma is sharper for Fuji, but didn’t compare it to the lens you have?
I was like wow Fuji is nailing it and found it out later that this was not 35.4 but 33.4. You only pay half price of 33.4 to get this Sigma and with that wider focal length, I think Sigma has it's own charm. Thanks for the quality video John
You're welcome! I hope it was helpful.
The Fuji lens results just seemed brighter, warmer, and clearer--things that can be managed in post, so I guess it comes down to budget. Just my thoughts.
Great video! I have a 33mm 1.4, 16-55 2.8, and the 10-24 mm 2.8 and the 33mm is the sharpest lenses out of all and my new favorite. This video was a great example of showing the difference and the investment. I would love to see a 50mm 1.0 vs 56mm 1.4 vid.
10 -24 was f 4 I think 🤔…8-16 ..f 2.8
So glad you made this video. I’m looking to purchase one of these as I miss my nifty fifty on my old canon. Tempted by the Sigma but the Fuji glass is just so nice.
So expensive too 😞 (compared to the sigma). But does deliver noticeably better looking photos IMO.
Would like to see a comparison between the XC35 F/2 (Or XF 35 /2, since glasses is the same, you just pay for WR, and metal build) and the sigma as they are more likely what a buyer would be looking at since they are in the same price range
I agree. I am actually confused between the Xf35mm f2 and the Sigma 30mm f1.4.
Same here
I’m considering between these 2 as well.
Me too.. no comparison on youtube, although they are similiarly priced.
It honestly makes me perplexed when people say the 35 and 23 are too close in focal length and it’s no point owning both when here you say the 3mm difference between these lenses is very noticeable. 🤦♂️
You mean 30 vs v33?
@@mynameistrd6841 no I mean people often say the 35mm and 50mm equivalent are too close to bother owning both. That’s 23mm and 35mm in APS-C. Here you even notice the difference between 30 and 33 so the difference between 23 and 35 is a chasm in comparison!
Thanks John for the overview comparison!! Like you said, a follow-up detailed comparison would be welcome, especially since the Sigma is less than half the price of the Fuji and about 3 ounces less (275g vs 360g), although without the aperture ring, etc.
I'm struggling between choosing Sigma and Fuji, thanks for your video. It seems that the Fuji lens is a little brighter than the Sigma one, and there is a subtle difference in colour .
Fuji is much better.
I liked the skin tones better with the 33mm. I'm not sure, but it seemed in some shots like the 30 gave a more blurry background. Not sure it made the shot better or worse, just seemed more blurry. Overall, I like the 33mm better. Now, I wish I could afford it!! I'm still working on buying an f2 prime from Fuji. Thanks for the cool shoot. Loved the model's poses. Have a great week.
I am in the same boat. I was confused between the Sigma 30mmf 1.4 and XF 35mm f2 (given they are in the same price range) but I feel the image quality and colours on the fuji lens is better. What do you think?
@@michaelmansour4213 I agree that the 35 f2 colors are really nice. It's probably going to be the first Fuji prime I every get because I can't really afford the new f1.4 primes like the 33.
@@charliejg The Fuji 33mm was used in this video.
I've 33 1.4 fuji ..stunning piece of glass ..according to you which one is a better performer. Fujinon 33 1.4 or fujinon 50 1.0 ?
Fuji 33
I usually never comment on this but she’s a really good model
2:36 WRYYYYYY! moment
Jokes aside, I love that you showcase SOOC pictures instead of obviously post processed pics.
Keep it up!
Man, I love the 33! You did a great job getting the frames as close as possible! Also, awesome to have a model that can move! More of this!
You and the model rocked it. I feel like the fuji colours are a little warmer, brighter and more pleasing to me.
Looking compressed images on tube on 27 inch mac screen I would say Fujinon 33 beat Sigma in almost every department.No surprise, Fujinons are tunned up for xtrans sensor and this is visible in the color shift on the Sigma and rendition of the image itself.You get what you pay.
Wow watching on my monitor compared to my 6.7" smartphone I can really see the sharpness in the 33mm shine especially in the text on the shoulder bag. Wow what clarity, would love to see if the other new focal length holds the same.
Honestly, apart from White Balance, I cannot see much of a difference on my 5k Apple Monitor. Maybe in the real files, but in a video like this, no... But the model is great, the photos as well, and I just cannot understand how anybody can live with colors less than the Fuji ones. Nikon, Sony colors are just all over the place, Fuji however has that style.
Do you have any experience with Tokina 33mm f/1.4 atx-m lens ?
I am deciding between Tokina vs Sigma (Fuji XF new - high price)
If Fuji new XF23mm 1.4 vs 33mm 1.4 ?
I only own the X-S10 18-55mm
Great video ,subscribed! Wonderful model and comparison of both lens..Fuji is overall the best lens and since I'm just getting into portraiture what would you recommend for my first prime 33 or 56...I have the kit 18-55 but not a fan....thank you .
Wow thanks for the vid! Had it not for your vid I would hv wasted a few hundred bucks going for the xf33. The difference between the two is so not discernible, Sigma beat the crap outta fuji given its super attractive price point. The heck with the aperture ring since I shoot mostly with bright aperture between 1.4 to 2.0. Isn't that what a 1.4 lens is for?
The bokeh and close focusing difference are a major advantage of the sigma here.
the photo are just sublime. both lens are just as good. i think ill go for sigma since i love that its in between 40 and 50.
I am a fan of your work/comparison. Keep it coming 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Great model and great photographs! I plan on getting the Fuji 33.1.4. Sharper and if I need to crop that will help big time!
John love your videos, my very first camera was a Fujifilm about 15 years ago as a teen and fell in love with photography but never got motivated. I’m in my 30’s now and I’ve started a small business BUT with CANON. Just because I fell in love with the native colors it offers when taking pictures. I also love how easy it is to work with. BUT my heart still lies with Fujifilm and since I’ve spent so much money on Canon gear and equipment I’m afraid to go and get a Fujifilm camera. My eyes have been set on the XT3 and XT4. Am I crazy to do this? And if I do, do you recommend me adapting all my EF lenses to this or just selling them? ALSO, what Fujifilm camera show I start off with if not the XT3 or 4.
Btw to be honest I only have the Canon M50 for a camera 😅 I just started this business.
hi john,may you make some video to comparing raw file of sigma and fujinon lens,so we can see the real color from the lens😁
Love your channel. Learned nothing from this video. How they handle. focus, feel in the hand and sharpness that I'm not looking on a iPhone to judge. 2 Sony cameras went down .My SONY A74 (overheating and Sony won't fix because its 4 days out of warranty & A7c (SD card slot will not hold the card) I'm thinking of switching to Fuji, so I need to know if I can by with Sigma lenses for filming & shooting weddings?
Hello. Yes, the Fuji is better for sure but this 30mm is really stunning. This will be a next lens to accompany my brand new XH2S. Thank you for this video. JB, a french follower. 👍
Liked how even and well the skin tones where lighted up.
Is it just the exposure that is different or is it the magic of the fuji lens?
Answering all the right questions!! Thank you
You're welcome!
Can you demo or share your personal feedback on the sigma af performance vs the Fuji when shooting video? Some CZcams review the sigma af video performance of potential beta firmware and it seems to breathe alot. Just curious if these latest models fixed any of those issues. Thanks!
Oh my goodness I went to school with her!! She is AMAZING!
I played with her in Band :)
The fuji color tune bro.. just a bit at the same time it's big difference for me personaly, the feel of it
I'll likely eventually get the Sigma 56mm, but between these two lenses I am glad I went with the Fuji. For me it came down to video performance.
Did you get it yet? I have the Sigma 56 on my Sony, and it’s fantastic.
The Sigma 56 is the best of the trio with the 16 second best. 30 comes in last place, also the oldest design.
Great shots! Definitely prefer the look from the Fujifilm but the Sigma is decent for the price.
Same. I'll still choose Fujifilm all day every day. But the Sigmas are a great budget solution.
@@jbivphotography which lens is good optically and autofocus video and photos viltrox or sigma
Hey John, curious to know how the sigma 30mm perform in video autofocus?
1:30 - The skin tones look so good soon on the fuji, but it's tough to justify that 3x price increase when this can be achieved easily in post.
Those photos are incredible !
It seems u might have to change the setting a bit for sigma.. I am not sure abt sharpness, hard to tell in CZcams video, but the color and exposure seems need some cranking up
really nice comparison, a bit out of scope though since the Fuji 33mm costs 3 times more than the Sigma 30mm. You should also account that.
I would be very interested in a comparison between the Viltrox 55 and the Sigma 55, especially for portraits. Thanks.
The photos with the Fuji 33mm look a bit better. But not only the photos, even the lens is much more beautiful :p
I agree. I’ve been a HUGE fan of the 33 since I got it. Getting close to one of my favorite lenses.
Surprised you didn’t mention the aperture ring absence on the Sigma and your experience with that. Perhaps because you shot everything wide open…?
Great photos and channel. Are these edited or just jpegs or were they edited in the same way.Many thanks.
These are just the JPEGs straight out of the camera. No editing. That way we could really see what the lenses were doing with the images.
Fuji renders A LOT better in my opinion BUT you cant beat the Sigma for the price.
Fuji all day. Their lenses are so amazing. But for a budget friendly build those Sigmas are SUPER impressive.
Looked to me like you are more familiar with the Fuji framing so had a harder time with the Sigma- you "see" in 33mm.
I have a dilemma, I now have a Canon 80D and for some reason I fell in love with everything you do with the Fuji camera's so I was thinking of getting maybe a used T-30 or a T-3. Sadly I don't have a big buget so I cannot really get the best of lenses for them maybe a kit the 18-55 f2.8 or I can use my canon lenses with an adapter.... I sometimes do small weddings and christenings sooo I really need to upgrade I'm just clueless. 😂
I switched from the canon 80D with a 50 1.8, 24-105 4, and a the kit lens. Traded it all for an xT3 and the Fuji kit lens. I haven’t used a prime yet. That kit lens has been in a wedding and a few family portraits. Best one on the market. I’m going to get the 33 1.4 now.
Oh also check out the Sigma 18-50 2.8. That and the 30 or 33 would be a nice combo.
Just the video I was looking for as I'm torn between the two lenses. Consider changing the title to "Lens comparisons with the lost Thompson Twin"
Hi John... Have you used the x S10 for portraits before? If you have? What is your take on it?
I actually haven't. I've been curious about that camera myself.
@@jbivphotography alright! I am very very interested in getting it. Yet to see anyone use it for studio portraits and events. I am coming from Canon DSLR system.
Please if you can, I know alot of folks will be happy to know.
in my amateurish opinion: Fujifilm had an edge in character and soul. if you want more of a blank slate to work with that adds a nice transparency that can be forged to will in post, Sigma.
The model, she is really great.
the sigma's lack of aperture ring is a deal breaker for me, being a fuji XE user
Yeah it really does kill the Fujifilm vibe. The aperture ring really is a game changer and one of the main things I love about Fujifilm in general.
In your opinion should buy xf35mmf2 or sigma 30mmf1.4?
OOOOO that's a hard one. I tend to prefer the Fujifilm lenses even the f2 over the Sigma lenses.
@@jbivphotography I watched all your videos, really helpful. I'm on XT3 with 56mmf1.2. I am also starting to take wedding photography, do you think I should buy 1 more lens between 23f2 or 32f2?
The Fuji has that magic sauce from the 35. Colors are more pleasing, no Color cast visible, chromatic aberration better controlled, sharper. Is it worth the extra cash? Depends.
Yeah I’m more of a fan of the Fujifilm but the Sigmas really do great work.
both are great~ only matter is budget
I agree. Sigma is a great price saving option.
The fuji seems warmer compared to the sigma. A look I prefer but man the price gap is pretty big.
Just because of Your video I want sell my Sony 50 and buy Sigma 30. Your photos are 🤌🤘
Thanks a bunch!
I just checked the prices for both. Fuji is exactly twice as much as Sigma in AUS. Sigma for $500, $400 on sale and Fuji is $1,054. For twice as much money, it is not twice as much better imo
Fantastic shots. Dud you edit the colors post, or just set them on the camera itself
All of these photos weren't edited at all. Everything was coming straight out of the camera.
Could you make a video on how you color set before your shoots on the xt? That would be so helpful.
I think the Fuji delivers a noticeably better photo in these comparisons.
I agree. While the Sigma is amazing I don’t think anything will stand up to Fujifilm Glass.
Nice video. Next do viltrox vs sigma
You should do the Viltrox 33mm vs the Fuji 33mm.
Despite owning the sigma, I think fuji lens produces more depth in photos. I guess 3D pop is real
Slowly looking to replace all my f2's with the new lineup of 1.4's! Any plans to try out the new 23?
1.4 double the price of F2. Tough choice to upgrade :)
Yep yep. I actually JUST got the new 23 and OMG it's amazing. SO MUCH BETTER than the f2. I'm excited because now I have the new 33 new 23 and the 50 f1 in my wedding lineup. I'm actually looking to update my 16 to the 1.4 as well. I'd say it's totally worth upgrading. That's basically what I did.
@@jbivphotography hey JB, I heard the 18/1.4 is sharper than the 16/1.4 - but maybe you're looking for sth wider I guess
Won’t you miss the compactness of the f2s?! 😮 This comment was six months ago so interested to hear your experience if you switched
@@stefan33uk Big big fan of the updated 1.4's! The upgraded af and iq made it a no-brainer in replacing my prime lineup for pro work. HOWEVER, I couldn't bring myself to sell my 35 f2. I also have the 33, but the smaller size just feels so perfect on the xt30 that it lives on. The xt3's stay at home during vacations, but that xt30 + 35 f2 combo goes with me everywhere :)
I think I'm more confused between xf35f1.4 and sigma 30 because xf33 costs too much more than sigma
I’m going against popular opinion on this one.
Sigma for me (just comparing these photos).
More contrast, drama,
Deeper shadows, more vibrant colors.
Lack of aperture ring would certainly be hard to live with though.
Bingo! It’s more realistic which I guess people don’t want as so many photos today are doctored in post
Thanks for watching!
Both is great, gotta buy the old ass 35mm f1.4
Which win sir
For the price, of course sigma.
For the skin tone of course fuji
I agree
I may have to agree, both look great but the 33mm seems to render skin much better.
Did your shoot them all at 1.4?
Yep yep. Everything is shot wide open.
@@jbivphotography I have the Sigma trio for Sony but just got my first Fuji camera last week.
John do I need to upgrade to the 33 from the 35 f/2??? I need to know now 🤣
How can you compare Sigma 30mm f1.4 to XF35mm f2? I am actually confused which one to get. What do you think?
Why the photos taken from sigma were darker
I, too, think the xf lens is better than the sigma lens.
I love the XF lenses always. Fuji for life!!
why Sigma lenses always have a dead skin tone (not really dead when standalone) when comparing directly to other 1st party lenses
謝謝，這真是一部品質很好的評論!!!!! 分析兩顆我想買的鏡頭
但原廠33 F1.4真的是太厲害
又銳 對焦又快
但對我最重要的是 用33拍起來的膚色更加美麗討喜 帶有一點紅潤 不會像sigma相比之下整體更黃
原廠的鏡頭也是對得起這個價格的
而且買富士的大家 誰不在意顏色呢(特別是膚色吧)XD
Thanks for the quality video!!!! comparing 2 lenses I desire
And XF 33mm 1.4 so perfect
with sharpness and more effective AF
BUT most important, skin tone is more sweet and reddish with XF33 1.4
On the contrary, skin tone is yellowish with sigma 30. And I don't like that.
the price of XF33 is reasonable
and I believe everyone using FUJI camera do care about color (especially skin tone)
the skin color looks much warmer and lighter on the fuji
Yeah I really like the way the photos look coming out of the Fuji lens much better.
Great video.
Thanks a bunch. Glad you enjoyed it.
Of course Fuji : )
Thanks for watching!
Sigma is contratier and sharp. But Fuji is sharp and creamy. Finally, I liked the Fuji 33mm f1.4.
Nice!
Thanks!
This was a much more enjoyable and expressive comparison than most, and a great model, too @@jbivphotography 💎
For me the Fuji is definitely sharper.
the price speaks for the sigma... less than half
You can't really go wrong with either lens but the Fuji, to me anyway, was overall a much better lens (as it should be for the price!). It had much more subtle gradations of colour and tones and rendered much finer details, especially in the shadows/blacks - sometimes the Sigma lost all detail in these areas. Great shots with both lenses though!!!
That Fuji glass somethin'
Yes 👏 It 👏 Is 👏
great comparison. beautiful shots..very editorial quality! honestly they were both so close it's just a matter of preference i think. Overall I think the Fuji 33 is slightly sharper, but sometimes the Sigma almost has a film look. both look great. awesome work!
oh yeah i was going to ask if the Classic Chrome preset you're using is a custom preset or the one in the camera? love the natural look it produces. thanks!
Sigma seems to have stronger chromatic contrast, and also seems to be a bit sharper. I'm interested in how the Sigma would handle though as it doesn't have the aperture ring that I've become so used to on all of Fujifilms lens offerings
The Fuji lens looks better i.e. skin tones and colors. In certain pictures the Sigma seemed a bit darker.
That's how I was feeling as well. The Fujifilm lenses look amazing always.
The Fuji seems to consistently expose brighter. Noticed this with the 56mm comparison too. I wonder if the camera body makes instructions to boost the jpeg brightness and warmth when it detects its own Fuji lens.
The blacks in the fuji lense are much better
thanks for watching
