and to go even beyond that (at least for Fuji) you can fetch the Viltrox 75mm 1.2 - an epic lens, i own it since release and with the new 1.0.2 firmware autofocus is good too...
Thank you for this quick yet valuable & enthusiasm-transporting review! I've been waiting for this lens so long, and am happy that it will finally arrive at my home in approx. 15 days!
There is the Viltrox 23mm f1.4 that is the direct competitor to this lens, great lens but ended up picking the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN C for my camera. But if you are looking at the Sigma 23mm f1.4, either save a few bucks and go with the Viltrox, or just get the 18-50mm f2.8, if you want one lens to rule them all.
The Sigma 18-50mm is so dang good I had a hard time to decide if the 23mm makes any sense on top of it. It does when low light is a frequent issue. Otherwise, the 18-50mm has one covered! The Viltrox, on the other hand, never convinced me.
You can't really say that 2.8 lens would serve similar purpose to 1.4 lens. That is quite massive difference in terms of light gathering and therefore image quality in low light.
@@PeeHooo the only part where an f2.8 zoom loses (except for price, but the 18-50 f2.8 and 23mm f1.4 are priced similarely anyways) is in light gathering ability. If you want a more pronounced background separation, the telephoto range of a zoom will simply be better than an 35mm in most cases.
Glad the 23mm for APS-C is finally here and looks good, just wish it was a bit smaller. A COMPACT quality 23mm F2 would be amazing and would be a huge seller because of the compact size. Also an 18mm F2 that can compete with the offerings from Fuji and Leica CL
Sigma is not known for small lenses. Their principle is that the image quality dominates. The Canon EF-M 22 mm f/2.0 is very nice. With it the M50 is like a compact camera.
@@okaro6595 I've noticed over the years Sigma tends to make large lenses but I think most consumers even non photographers want small compact setups which would be great sellers. Reasons why the X100v, x-E4 and Ricoh griii lines have become so popular. Also I heard the Japanese Market seem to love APS-C for the small size. Not sure why Sigma isn't aiming for a larger demographic and giving the consumers smaller setups. Hope this changes very soon.
@@SilatShooter I was looking into the Sony 24 2.8 but wasn't sure about the performance, no-one was reviewing it for aps-c. How are you liking it? Does it feel out of place on the APS-C bodies?
@@SilatShooter Awesome, Im going to look more into it. The price is still a bit high for me even used but I have a feeling after some more releases before summer maybe a sale will be coming like usual
Completely agree. One of my favorite all-time lenses is the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens for m43, which would be equivalent to 27mm on APS-C. I would LOVE to see an f/2 APS-C pancake lens at either 23mm or 27mm. I don't know if that's possible, but if somebody made one it would probably be my most-used lens.
@@PeeHooo Are you serious? What are you basing this on? The GM24 is a modern classic and literally the best performing 24/1.4 in production, cross-brand. It was the first GM to be designed for sensor resolutions higher than what is available today. As such it performs excellent on 60MP A7rV which also in crop mode is in fact around APS-C resolution. Perhaps you mixed it up with the Zony 24/1.8 which was one of the earliest APS-C lenses?
@@PeeHooo No worries; as you can see from my harsh response I have a bit of a soft spot for that lens ;) Probably the one I’d pick in that hypothetical “deserted island and you can bring one lens” scenario.
Wild that there's no other high quality 23mm lenses for Sony APS-C. Really shows how APS-C is an afterthought on the E mount. This was one of the first lenses Fuji released for X mount!
E mount was created for apsc. The E comes from the NEX series which was all apsc, but unfortunately, since introduction of the a7, sony didnt do much for apsc
There are. How can you say APS-C is an afterthought when Sony released the incredible FX-30? If I was to grab a camera and head to a family type event, I will bring my a6600. It I want detail, then I will bring my A7R3. Both great cameras, each has its own use.
Was there a silent recall on this for Fuji X Mount? I am not able to find it anywhere.... Even Sigma's site for Supported Cameras is only showing L and E mounts.
Is the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 the beginning of a trio of 2.8 zoom lenses for apsc? Or are they just going to do primes? I've been holding off on getting a telephoto zoom for my a6100 to see what Sigma comes up with.
Would like to see this Sigma at $500+ compared to the Viltrox at $280. Not sure why everyone is talking like a 23mm hasn't existed to this point for APSC. That Viltrox is my main lens.
Point of the video was to compare 24/1.4 lenses on APS-C, which so far was only the GM, which is not designed for APS-C and hence you don't get your money's worth on APS-C. Sigma fixed that. Comparing it to 35GM on FF would make it more of an APS-C - FF discussion, in which case you'd need to compare it to a 35/2 instead of the 35/1.4.
At this point I have stopped using APS-C. I use Sony for full frame, and MFT when I don't need full frame. As sensor technology improves, MFT stands to gain the most. The size of the platform can be much more portable than the rest. I think some MFT manufacturers are about to use this to their advantage and give us some amazing gear in an amazingly portable package.
Im planning to get 24mm 1.4 art,but i disregard it. finally 23mm C came just right on time. .Still waiting for the 50-135 f2.8 contemporary lens from sigma. . or sigma 70_200 for e mounth.
What do you think about the Sigma 16mm f1.4 full-frame lens with a Sony APSC body? It seems to be a slightly cheaper option that can give an effective focal length of 24mm.
That lens is APS-C. It's from the same lineup. Also 16mm is 16mm and 23mm is 23mm. Yes the 16mm is 24mm effectively on APS-C but the 23mm is effectively 35mm.
I use both crop and FF and like the smaller form factor for travel or discrete days out with the family. I own the trio and won’t be buying this lens but Sigma shines again!
Tony living on a universe where fujifilm isn't even present at all. There are like 4 or 5 lenses for fujifilm the are 23mm f1.4 and not this lens makes sony unique?
This lens is yet to be released for Fuji X Mount. Why would he compare a lens he cannot mount on a Fuji body against other Fuji lenses? Makes no sense.
@@AbdonPhirathon it's not that he didn't choose a fuji body, it's how he talks about the enrichment for apsc with this lens - even though that even for e mount there already were 23 1.4s
16mm has always been too wide for my taste, so I sold it, and its low light role will now finally be taken by the new 23mm. Matching ones taste is probably the only major benefit.
The major benefit is a different focal length which gives significantly different results. It's up to you if you like to use that focal length or not, next to the 16mm you already have. I'd probably get the G 16 - 55 instead though unless really needing f/1.4.
@Rodrigo You should have examined closer. The 20G, while a great lens, is NOT sharper than the 24G. It wasn't even designed to be sharper. Calling it old does not change the fact that it's the highest performing 24/1.4, cross-brand. It's a modern classic. And what are you on about that it's a 34/2.1 FF equivalent? The 24GM IS a full frame lens. 24/1.2 on FF? Like which brand offers that? That would be either an extremely expensive and heavy piece of glass, or it would perform worse.
@@hikertrashfilms Thanks. I know, but the topic was the 24GM which already is a FF lens. It’d be a 16mm F0.95 aps-c equivalent, just to put things into pricing perspective.
Sony make a powerful, modern ASPC camera challenge! I’d rather get this for a Leica CL, since everything besides a Canon R7 and a few Fuji bodies are outdated.
I just don't see why I should care about this lens for Fuji. The Viltrox is spectacular value at $200 less and the Fuji 23mm F1.4 is a near perfect lens for just a bit more. And the Sigma has no aperture ring, no weather sealing, etc.
Competition is always good. When they release it for Fuji, I'm sure there will be reviews that compare those lenses. Don't be surprised if the Sigma has better quality than the Fuji. We will see how it turns out.
With APSC you must have meant Sony, cause Fujifilms new 23mm 1.4 LM WR has a MUCH more premium build and also already sold for 642€ (tax included!!) Sigma will probably aim for X mount again for a higher price than E mount so it's far away from being called !Budget!
"there's nothing like this"... poor Viltrox, Samyang and co. lenses. So easily forgotten by YT reviewers. That said, I expect this one to be quite a bit better due to its price and it being newer than the Viltrox 23mm F1.4, which was already not a sharpness champion. Viltrox 13mm F1.4 and 75mm F1.2 are quite different animals
If the Sigma is an APS-C lens, why is there STILL a crop factor and hit to the f-stop? Why not have a 24mm APS-C give you the same view angle as a 24mm on a given full-frame? Why is the f-stop still "factored" for APS-C? If all that changes are about the height and width of the lens projection, then what's the point of making it specifically for APS-C, cost alone? Why do they call it a 24mm when the crop factor makes it a 36mm? Why not just call it a 36mm, DX f/2.1? Nobody is going to put this lens on their full-frame body and not get horrible vignetting, so why all the skewed numbers?
Because it’s not 36 mm it’s a 24mm lens. On apsc 24 “looks” like 36mm on full frame because of the crop but there is no actual focal length magnification actually making it a 36 it’s still 24
So why do so many photographers say that when shooting smaller subjects you get an advantage with APS-C because it has greater reach (magnification)?@@La-di
I think Viltrox lenses are underestimated. The 13mm f1.4 is a bargain. The 75mm f1.2 is gorgeous. I personally use the Viltrox 23m f1.4 …for the price of 329€ here in Europe…🤫😊
@@charliejg I agree. I’m a little irritated that Fuji isn’t getting the “I” series metal lenses. We keep getting the cheaply made ones. Apparently the 16mm is the best one out of the bunch. I’ve tried the 56mm and it’s ok, but nowhere near as good as the new Fuji 56mm 1.2 WR. That thing is magic. And the 18-50 is decent, but just doesn’t match up to the 16-55 2.8 from Fuji. We need Art lenses. Not cheap plastic feeling lenses.
@@JET-Photo I can't afford that new 56, wish I could. But, I was finally able to find a version 1.0 XF56 back in fall. The only complaint I have with it is the loose aperture ring. I have used that lens for so many things since I got. From portraits to hiking it's been awesome.
@@charliejg you aren’t missing anything as far as image quality. Focus is a little faster but not by much. They should’ve put the linear motors inside the new one. Still a great lens no matter what version you have.
I took a fall and destroyed my back and had to find a camera system that was light weight and picked the Sony A6000 and replaced the kit lens with the Three Sigma APS F2.8 lens and was truly surprised how good they were back 30 years ago Sigma lens where now just order this lens
No aperture ring, and much bigger than the Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R. I hoped for a real Fujinon alternative, was happy after the Sigma announcement 2022, but sadly, this isn't it for Fuji Users.
So now Sigma has 16 mm, 23 mm, 30 mm and 56 mm all f/1.4. That is a quite a nice selection.
They’re just missing ultrawides and that’s it
Love my 16mm from Sigma, I do wish they made something wider for Astro interest like a 11mm or 14mm f/1.4
@@izzydo3494 or a 10, it’s crazy that we have 10mm zooms but not a single prime

Sigma has been bringing it for years now since the 18-35mm APS-C days.

I really love that you are reviewing this affordable lens and giving it a detailed review- thank you Tony! Greetings from Alicante, Spain.
Too bad you didn't have the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 to compare the Sigma with.
The lack of a good, affordable prime in this range was a reason I abandoned Sony APS-C, but the camera bodies might have been the bigger reason.
Just bought 56mm for my m50 about two weeks ago. I have been doing portraits with it and it’s amazing.
I own both of the sigma 16mm and 56mm lens and love them for my Sony a6600

I’ve tried the 56mm and it’s ok, but nowhere near as good as the new Fuji 56mm 1.2 WR. That thing is magic. And the 18-50 is decent, but just doesn’t match up to the 16-55 2.8 from Fuji. We need Art lenses. Not cheap plastic feeling lenses.
@@JET-Photo I can't afford that new 56, wish I could. But, I was finally able to find a version 1.0 XF56 back in fall. The only complaint I have with it is the loose aperture ring. I have used that lens for so many things since I got. From portraits to hiking it's been awesome.
@@charliejg you aren’t missing anything as far as image quality. Focus is a little faster but not by much. They should’ve put the linear motors inside the new one. Still a great lens no matter what version you have.
@@JET-Photo Yeah, I was surprised that the linear motors weren't used. The 90 has them and it makes a big difference.
0:40 God Bless Sony. i don't see my self ever shooting with anything different
Great way to save money and still have a positive experience - Sigma.
Me with an R7: fml
This is the most expensive at of all the sigma’s for fuji
EOS-M version!
The EF-M Mount is dead. It’s never going to be released on an EOS M Camera.
Sadly Abdon is likely correct.
I took a fall and destroyed my back and had to find a camera system that was light weight and picked the Sony A6000 and replaced the kit lens with the Three Sigma APS F2.8 lens and was truly surprised how good they were back 30 years ago Sigma lens where now just order this lens
Bring back news, booze and reviews.
Sony is horrible with firmware and bringing features to cameras after the sale. Canon won't allow third party lenses. This is obnoxious.
No aperture ring, and much bigger than the Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R. I hoped for a real Fujinon alternative, was happy after the Sigma announcement 2022, but sadly, this isn't it for Fuji Users.
Absolutely way overpriced Viltrox got way better deals that's the price of a freaking full frame lens. 😂
As a full frame user all I can say is - wish that were true.
@TFM With the way inflation is going get the best deals you can even open box. I use both crop and full frame.
