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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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? 😐😅

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.

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!

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 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.
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 ?
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 :)
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 :)
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
@@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 like 16mm sigma but not the design :(, its too heavy even i have 35mm 1.4 in sony ff system, after whole day shooting wedding with that i always need to go to massagge
2 detractors for me. The large size, but they are 1.4. So forgiven. Lack of aperture ring. Argh! The 30mm is tempting. The 27mm pancake is wonderful size, but the at hunting drives me batty sometimes.
Man you worked these three puppies! Amazing!!
NOIR!

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.

Hello Fuji Friends! Welcome to the world of high quality affordable third party lenses ;)
super good review and comparisons!
I have just bought the 56mm 1.4 one instead of fuji 50mm 2, I hope I made a right choice.
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!

Why does no one talk about or review the Tokina lenses for the Fuji mount?
I'm interested in 16mm for video works, glad I saw this and looks like the focusing is not very good.
Thanks
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.
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' ;)
"its not like zzt, but more like zzt zzt." I love your reviews man haha
was ist das bitte für ein geiler Blendenstern bei Blende8 (7:10) oder habt Ihr Euch bei der Blende vertan? VG Marcus PS. cooler Kanal👍
Time to start shooting Fujifilm I guess! 😉😎
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
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.
nice coat. What brand is it?
Hello! congratulations for your videos! I have a question:
Have you tried the new lens update?
Greetings mate
Hey ist da mittlerweile ein Firmware update am start?
keen to see those lenses in Australia soon.. :)
谢谢你为我们富士用户带来的这期视频，这坚定了我的选择，我好像更喜欢56所呈现的画面。
I'm not sure about it.
15:12 Masta piece
What camera and lens did u use to record this video in the forest scene? Looks really good!
Nikon D850 with a Tamron 45mm 1.8 :)
Hey Samuel, great reviews. The 56 is tempting. I have a ?, since you own the 18 1.4, as I, does your copy make a buzzing sound ? THANKS, JT
Mine is very quiet. But I don't know what you mean. When its focusing I can hear a little buzz sound but I need to be close to the lens to hear it.
@@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
That's great test, i think i'll get 30mm, danke shon :)
Nice vídeo Daddy ❤️
I hope they have the 85
You should take them to Cafe Lehmitz. That’s still around, right?
i like 16mm sigma but not the design :(, its too heavy even i have 35mm 1.4 in sony ff system, after whole day shooting wedding with that i always need to go to massagge
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.
Lazy from Sigma to not add the aperture ring which is key to exposure with many Fuji bodies and users.
Nice love this video 📷
Everybody keeps forgetting about the Zeiss Fujifilm lenses...they exist. I promise.
2 detractors for me.
The large size, but they are 1.4. So forgiven.
Lack of aperture ring. Argh!
The 30mm is tempting. The 27mm pancake is wonderful size, but the at hunting drives me batty sometimes.
When is Ricoh GR IV coming out?
12:42 Ricoh GR3x is more contrasty and sharper
The 56 is the best of the 3
Danke dir. Jetzt weiß ich, warum ich Sigma seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr gekauft habe ...
what camera is he using to shoot video?
Fujifilm X-H1 :)
The style makes me think of a European dpreview
