The mission of Sigma has always been to imagine and develop technologies that will allow the creation of the perfect image. Since 1961, photography has been Sigma’s sole focus and the recently announced Sigma F1.4 Prime Lenses for X-Mount Cameras were carefully crafted with immense attention to detail.
There won’t be much longer to wait for Fujifilm fans to get their hands on the Sigma DN trio of lenses. Those who’ve been waiting for some alternatives to Fuji’s own X-mount lenses will be happy to hear this news. Let’s look at the information about the three new prime lenses that deliver superior performance and cover all focal lengths.
Key Features of the Sigma Prime Lenses for Fujifilm X-Mount:
- 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, 67mm filter size
- 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, 52mm filter size
- 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, 55mm filter size
- All lenses aperture range: F/1.4 to F/16
- X-Mount interchangeable lenses with dust and splash-proof design
- Super multilayer coating
- Control algorithm, including AF drive and communication speed optimization
The F1.4 mirrorless trio doesn’t skip a beat as it makes its jump from L-mount systems over to X-mount systems. Aside from high-speed AF, this lens also offers AF-C (continuous AF) and in-camera aberration correction (supported cameras only). The rubber-sealed mount is suitable for use in a wide range of environments.
Sigma 16mm F1.4 Lens
The Sigma 16mm F1.4 Lens is expected to come with a petal-type camera lens hood. It is a large-diameter wide-angle, bright lens with a top optical performance developed to be a lightweight, compact lens for everyday use. The 16mm lens builds on the success of Sigma 30mm F1.4 Lens, released in 2016 as the first in a series of prime lenses. This lens has 16 elements in 13 groups and is made of the finest materials. In addition to excellent resolution at wide-open apertures, this lens effectively minimizes optical aberrations. Optical design and stepping motor deliver smooth focus during video shooting, and the mount is dust-resistant and splash-proof.
Sigma 30mm F1.4 Lens
This comes with a regular lens hood and features a lens structure with nine elements in seven groups. The Sigma 30mm F1.4 Lens is a large-aperture, standard lens that allows owners to shoot wide open and with F1.4 brightness. A large-aperture lens will offer a stunning bokeh effect and an exceptionally sharp optical performance as expected from a fine prime lens. With Sigma’s latest technologies, this new lens fulfills the concept of the Contemporary line, where varied elements are balanced perfectly.
Sigma 56mm F1.4 Lens
The Sigma 56mm F1.4 Lens will also come with a standard lens hood. It has a lens structure with ten elements in six groups and is the smallest mid-telephoto lens in its class. Due to Sigma’s leading-edge technology, the lens retains the compact, lightweight, and outstanding image quality concepts of the Contemporary line. It also delivers the same amount of bokeh and brightness that is typically found in F1.4 lenses for a medium telephoto lens. This addition rounds out the series of wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lenses with large apertures.
What Else You Need to Know
Hobbyists and professional landscape photography pros love the X-series cameras. So, it was only a matter of time before Sigma filled the demand. Sigma makes lenses and mounts for the mirrorless camera market to meet the needs of its customers — these three prime lenses are sure to be no exception.
