I was just thinking last week about getting a 16mm lens for a wider perspective, and lamented, "Where is Andrew to help me understand the Sigma against the Fuji". And here you are. Thank you

[@montythemindful]

Loving my recently purchased Fuji xf 14mm f2.8. Just that bit wider and more interesting to my eye than the 16mm. Also considerably lighter and smaller.

[@fellowcitizen]

I do wonder if the Sigma is faulty, though, since the usual consensus is that the central sharpness is especially strong.

[@ppopow6980]

The fuji 14mm is a gem as well. Picked up the Viltrox based on YT hype, Fuji still a smidge better, optically speaking.

[@DigiDriftZone]

Excellent comparison, I absolutely adore the 13mm F1.4 from Viltrox but never owned the Fuji one, I've added it to my eBay alert list :) - the loose aperture ring is something that seems common, a friend of mine owns the older 23mm F1.4 from Fuji and the aperture ring feels so loose to the point where it feels broken.

[@henlolneh]

35 f1.4 user here ... same deal with my aperture ring. you breathe on it and it moves i stg. it's really the only drawback on such a fantastic lens with so much character~

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Nice video Andrew!

[@AndrewGoodCamera]

Thanks!

[@rafsnchz]

I had Sigma 30mm f1.4 on my Sony camera back in the day and I loved it, but now as i’m using fujifilm cameras, no aperture ring is a hard pass for me. I knew that they will do it but still I was hugely disappointed seeing these Sigma lenses without aperture rings.

[@joseandresrodriguez4104]

Why is it so important to you?

[@dccoletrain]

Good… to see you not completely forget Fujifilm

[@pifilos]

Just a thing about the Sigma. I had to go through 4 copies of this lens to get an excellent one. The previous ones I tried were like the one diplayed in the video. The final copy which I kept is excellent even wide open.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

nice video. does the 13mm have a clickable aperture collar or is it smooth?

[@AndrewGoodCamera]

It has detents

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

@@AndrewGoodCamera thanks Andrew 🙂

[@AzrielKnight]

Just a heads up you listed two lenses as Sigma at 2:18

[@REMY.C.]

The old good copy paste 😂

[@AndrewGoodCamera]

:/

[@andyh5666]

Thanks for the comparo. btw, you have the Viltrox listed incorrectly as 14mm in the lens description/detail.

[@AndrewGoodCamera]

Thanks! A bit tired when I wrote that. ;)

[@LIFeGood808]

You have the Fuji incorrectly listed as Sigma on the side by side price comparison.

[@djxcel23]

❤❤❤

[@oc2phish07]

TWO Sigma 16mm 1.4 in the picture? Mis-typed?

[@bruchino]

yes, the third one is Fuji

[@technodronesogxl9783]

I love my XH2 and Viltrox 13mm 1.4 lens. Looking for the 75mm 1.2

[@rickslijkhuis6822]

The 75mm is pure awesomeness. Sharpest lens in my collection.

[@Necron990]

FYI, update the firmware on your Sigma or Viltrox lenses 1st before heading out!

[@jirihardos5154]

I've tried both the Fuji 10-24 and the Viltrox 13, and I always come back to the Fuji 16/1.4 because it's better than those two lenses. And I'm not saying it's perfect. (I'm also comfortable with the 16mm/24mm FF eq.)

[@dtyusufceylan]

can you give a little more detail? Why do you think 16/1.4 is better? What are the advantages of others?

[@jirihardos5154]

@@dtyusufceylan The Viltrox 13mm is sharper than the 10-24 and the 16/1.4 is sharper than the Viltrox. At least with my copies of the lenses it was. So I'm only dealing with I.Q., not AF for example, as I used them mainly for landscapes. The advantage of the Viltrox is the focal length, for landscapes it is probably ideal for me. But as I said, I also really like the 16mm. The advantage of the 10-24 is versatility. (I wouldn't be surprised if Fujifilm introduced a 16/1.4 Mark 2 in the near future, given the demands of the new 40 megapixel sensor. That is, assuming they don't consider the 18/1.4 as a successor.)

[@dtyusufceylan]

@@jirihardos5154 thank you so much 😊

[@kelvinong1908]

I heard the viltrox 13mm is WR, i was wondering if it can be used in winter environment? What’s the line that this lens can withstand, any idea bout that ? 🤔

[@achmadmarendes]

2:13 Sigma is the cheapest
