Thanks for the review. I bought Fuji 16-55 f2.8. It's one of the best purchases I made last year, after 23mm f1.4 and 33mm f1.4. I am happy with all Fuji lenses I purchased. They thrive to make the best lenses.

They were quite large and hefty, especially the 50-100mm f1.8 (which was an awesome portrait lens and I shot a lot of rugby matches of my kids with it. The autofocus was great on my 7D and 80D (after calibration)).

@murmor6890 Год назад

If you have a good version and no IBIS, plenty of sub par 18-55s around as well nowadays, quality control dropped quite a bit on that lens since the early days. If you have IBIS f2.8 at the middle and especially the tele end of the zoom range is huge.

If you want to upgrade from the kit lens get the Fuji 16-55 f2.8 or Fuji 16-80 f4 OIS, depending which one you like. Going from the fuji 18-55 to the Sigma 18-50 isn't enough of an upgrade to be worth the money. Both are fully weather sealed, unlike the Sigma lens, and they also have aperture rings.

@eduardoniederauer5537 Год назад

Just got this little 18-50mm in pristine condition for 350 euros on the used market. I'm stunned by the image quality in such a small and lightweight package! It fits perfectly in my old X-T100. I really like shooting with primes but for me it's important to have flexibility, so I'm pretty sure it will live in my camera body haha. During my first tests, AF was acting a bit weird, though. Slower than normal and locking focus (with the green squares and all) while the image was not really focused at all. I realized that the previous ower had not updated the firmware to the 1.10 version. Did it last night but didn't have the chance to shoot again after that. Let's see.

@jonuiuc Год назад

I have the 2.8-4 was wondering if it was really worth it for the extra stop at the tele-end if I moved on from my X-T3 to the X-T5. I probably just hang onto my camera for now. This seems like it would be a good pair with a X-S10 (or future version of that one). If you got a "T" series camera its cause you like the manual dials and not having a apertrure ring sorta goes against that vibe. For the video selfie types, that fixed 2.8 is a plus over the fuji kit lens.

I'll save you the bother, the only Fuji lens from more than 2 years ago that almost fully resolves the 40MP sensor is the 90mm F2, 8-16mm F2.8 and 200mm F2. The 50-140 is about 60% there while everything else is just a minor improvement over the older sensors. I was hoping for more from the 16-55 especially. And the 16mm F1.4, but that's been superceded by the 18mm F1.4 in every way anyway.

@finnlikesplanes7110 6 месяцев назад

Its sharper in the center, feels better in the hand, is smaller in size, and has a wider [and constant] aperture. The downside is you lose the stabilization that the 18-55 has. They both perform roughly the same for image quality, except the sigma has slightly better center sharpness.

@finnlikesplanes7110 6 месяцев назад

X-S10 is meant to be a midrange hybrid camera. The biggest downside to choosing it over your XH1 is it lacks weather sealing. I'd say the XH2s would be a better pick for you [if you can afford it]. If not, the XT3.

I'm sure it's a fine lens, but I have no desire for an APSC kit-like zoom where 18mm is the wide end (and similarly, am not a fan of the full frame 28mm angle of view) C'mon Sigma, would it have killed you to make it 16mm?

@brafman1 Год назад

Yes, because it probably would have made a big difference in the size of the lens and required redesign since at 28mm the corners are already so-so. As is, its a fantastic travel indoor people photo zoom, where 24mm effective introduces generally undesirable distortion to people's faces anyway.

@andyF1K Год назад

I too have the H2, but this doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to the 18-55 kit lens which came with my S10. The Fuji images are good corner to corner zoomed in our out and for half the price (when you get it with the body). Not saying it's a wow (like the 50-140), but I must be missing something.. it just looks like the Sigma is a higher price and at best, no better image quality.

@paceyombex Год назад

The only benefit you'll get is the constant aperture at f/2.8, but creating constant aperture zoom is more difficult, therefore you'll end up with a higher price point. There's a reason why f/2.8 zooms are typically more expensive and larger than this lens. The Sigma targeted budget users who just want a small constant aperture zoom, which this lens actually delivers, with a lot of tradeoffs.

@christopherfrost Год назад

This Sigma lens is less expensive to buy new than the Fuji 18-55. It also has a brighter aperture, and I think it'll be a little sharper when zoomed in. I think it's also a little smaller

@szank Год назад

@@christopherfrost That's all fair, but a lot of people (like me) got it as a kit for a very good price, and that one has image stabilisation.

It seems to be on pair or even sub-pair at wide angle (where it counts) to Fujifilm kit lens 18-55 f2.8-4.

Many, perhaps most, agree not all, Fuji X owners aquired the excellent 18-55 image stabilised lens when purchasing their first XT20 or subsequent X body. Also, that so called "kit lens" has been and remains, highly regarded. Whilst standing to be corrected, Fuji has recommended the kit lens for the new mega monster sensor cameras. I am a real fan of Sigma's Art primes and the famed "trilogy" of Sony apsc primes and this lens, in lieu of the seeming inferior kit lens Sony continues to bundle with apsc lower end bodies. However, for Fuji X owners, who already own the excellent 18-55 lens, there doesn't appear to be a compelling reason to purchase the Sigma alternative.

@paceyombex Год назад

Agree. If only this lens has OIS, while maintaining the size and price, that will make this lens a lot more appealing. Their trio prime were a lot more exciting tbh, especially the 56 and the 16. While their design might not be "traditional" for Fuji user, their optics bring a real competition to Fuji's equivalent. They should bring their 18-35 f/1.8, that will be REALLY exciting. If they could make it 16-30, even better. The size is a bit big, so if they could made it smaller by make it a f/2.8 that's still really exciting. Sorry for the little rambling lol

The IQ is more comparable to the 18-55, which is great, but not "red badge" level. The build quality is also not comparable with XF lenses' metal housing, dampened focus ring, and aperture ring. The only real benefit of the sigma is the constant aperture, and smaller size when compared to 16-55. The msrp is cheaper you said than the 18-55, well yes but remember 18-55 has been around for close to a decade now, so the second-hand market is full with cheaper, good condition 18-55.

@@paceyombex Look at more video comparisons and mtf charts. The sigma does better in most tests vs a 16 to 55 fuji. But the 16 to 55 fuji was always a tad overrated, it is not even close to being as sharp in the corners as a 16 to 55 Sony. The design is outdated and they used a similar one in the 16 to 80 f4. Advantage of the Sigma is constant 2.8, whereas the Fuji is only 2.8 on the wide end where it is least useful. It has some of the best pseudo macro of any zoom lens on both wide and long end. Any company can make a sharp zoom lens if they don't compromise on size yet the sigma has achieved something reasonably sharp. In reality most of these are just complaints about corner sharpness and even that is hard to discern unless you are pixel peeping. OIS is useful up to a point but also increases probability of shutter shock and lens damage.

18-55 is F2.8 only @ 18-19mm, and then darken fast, so the most time you work with F3.6 to F4, thats two times slower shutter speed at given ISO.

@spc3mky if it looks brown and smells funny do you really need to test it yourself if it is really sh*t?

@paceyombex Год назад

@spc3mky This review shows that clearly. Well, TBH it's not crap, not mind-boggling, kinda below average a little bit. XF 18-55 should be better, not constant aperture, but the IQ across the frame is great, and it has OIS.

@@paceyombex The IQ compared to XF 18-55 seem about the same. Sigma is better at long end while Fuji is at wide.

@@tomazvajngerl317 You have a point. Just saw DP review comparison. But the Sigma seems to be more prone towards ghosting, and CA compared to the fujinon.

I think you're intentionally missing an important point here. He tested this lens on a 40mp apsc beast of a sensor. I'm sure the fuji 16-55 2.8 and the 18-55 f2.8-4 won't do any better on this sensor. And this is similar in size to the 18-55 and much smaller than the 16-55

Gotta compare this to the "bag of primes" that the Fuji 16-55 f2.8 is known to be. The price to performance comparison would be very nice to see.

Both Sigma and Tamron are ripping off Fuji customers tbh, the exact same lenses for Sony APSC go for anything in or around €200 LESS ... for the same thing! they might fool some ...
