Sigma Contemporary 15mm 1.4 DC für Fujifilm X

The new 15mm lens is 50% lighter, 30% shorter and has a reduced filter size from 67mm to 58mm, when compared to the 16mm f/1.4 lens that it replaces. The performance is still maintained. The handling is enhanced by the inclusion of a control ring/aperture ring. This all adds up to an excellent lens, especially suitable for street/reportage, landscape and astrophotography. It is, of course, designed for APS-C format crop sensor cameras. There is no built-in image stabilisation, but provided that the camera body has IBIS, this is not an issue. In this Canon RF fit incarnation, it mimics the classic full-frame 24mm lenses, probably the most useful of the wide-angle lenses without becoming so wide as to make handling difficult. This is something that has evolved, as tastes have moved on from 35mm being a wide angle, to 28mm and then to 24mm, all in full frame terms. Equally well, there has been a resurgence of compact prime lenses and these are often presented in small groups from ultra-wide to short telephoto, with very similar form factors and consistent balance that is so useful for videographers as well as stills photographers. In summary, another fine new lens from Sigma that is Highly Recommended.
