Thanks, Gary! Appreciate it.

Glad you mentioned the absence of aperture ring. Also thank you for mentioning all the plastic. I wonder how it compares in image quality to the xf 8-16. Good review.

Sure thing!

Great lens as additional lightweight focal leght extension if someone like to shoot telephoto.

Great video. How do you find the Sigma lenses (10-18 and 18-50) perform on the 40mp fuji camera as compared to say the X-T4? Do they work well on the more demanding newer sensors? Thanks.

Thank you! There is a ton of controversy about this, so you will find a variety of opinions. Practically speaking, the lenses perform very well on the 40mp sensor, but in my testing they are not quite as good as the Fuji lenses I've used. I found the 18-50 however to be very good in terms of image quality and performance, one of the best they offer right now. I wouldn't get too hung up on the 40mp sensor and optimized lens issue. It's a rabbit hole haha

Dustin Abbott has several reviews using a 40mp sensor and talks specifically about this. TLR: These lenses are fantastic

Nice review.. Interested in a new ultra wide as my 10-24 is damaged.. How do you think this Sigma compares to the Fuji.. also the Tamron is not double the price.. it goes for about $800 as compared to $600 for the Sigma.. Most reviewers have mentioned that the Tamron is a little sharper, but I don't want to lose even 1mm on the long end

Thanks! Unless I am remembering wrong the Tamron was $1199. $899 is a much more reasonable price for sure. Tamron is def a bit sharper but not a game changer IMO

The sharpness test might be flawed due to field curvature. Remember to focus in the corners when looking/testing corners. It might then give better results.

Thanks for this tip. I will give it a try next time but I'm wondering then if the center will be less sharp if I focus on the corners. Also, in what real world context do you think you would focus on a corner, unless a subject is in the corner? I find myself focusing in or near the middle of the frame for most of my shooting. Thanks for the comment!

Hi, thanks for the video:) Does it lose focus when you zoom in/out, especially while recording video ? or have you noticed any light change when you zoom in/out during video shooting ? Btw I have XT5 as a body

There won't be a light change shooting manual since the aperture is constant. It's been a while since I reviewed it but I don't remember any excessive focus breathing

@@PeteCocoPhoto I got the lens , yes aperture is constant but if you zoom in/out there is a significant light change, and it loses focus completely on XT5

Thanks for the review! I've been asked to shoot more real estate photography. I have the Sigma 16mm f1.4 which is great, but would sometimes like to go wider. This lens could be what I'm looking for. I get the desire for an aperture ring, but it's not a deal breaker for me. When I'm working fast (eg shooting a wedding or event), I use a command dial even if the lens has an aperture ring. When working slower, I like the experience of using an aperture ring, but since I'm used to using a command dial, it's not that annoying when a lens doesn't have it.

Thanks for watching! I agree that using the command dials is faster on the fly than the manual dials.

The Not internal weather sealed is a big bummer and a deal breaker for me, as i travel in all weather and photo and video it Its basically a no go. No aperture ring is not a deal breaker but above triumph it.

Hi Pete, I have a question for you. Does your lens, when the camera is turned on or off, move the blades to close the aperture and emit an electronic sound? Is this normal?

@PeteCocoPhoto

I don't remember any noise when I tested it out, but some lenses do indeed make a faint noise when the camera is on.

So I'm a bit confused. Does the 10-18 resolve all of the 40 megapixels on the XT5/XH2S?

@PeteCocoPhoto

6 ай бұрын

I'm not sure what Fuji says about any 3rd party lenses resolving the 40mp. Honestly I wouldn't worry about that either the lens is sharp or not.

In the studio shots at 15:35 you are zooming into the corners of the test chart -- but that's not the actual corners of the photo, because you didn't cover the entire frame with the chart. Instad, the corners on the chart are placed closer to mid-frame than the actual corners of the frame.

A metal proper weather sealed change out to an equal image quality that should be stopped down to 5.6 to get sharp which is not properly weather sealed. Also lack a lot of reach in the long end. I would think twice about that. If you want more light gathering just get a prime in the focal lenght you use most.

If I can get a used Fuji 10-24 f4 WR for $599, which one should I get?

Both are great, the advantage of the Sigma is it's faster at f/2.8.

Is this good for landscapes?!
