The long wait is over for many Fujifilm users. Sigma has built quite a renowned name for itself in the industry as one of the top lens manufacturers. Introducing the new Sigma 16mm f/1.4, 30mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4 for Fujifilm X-mount.
SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
This lens is equivalent to a 24mm f/1.4 in full frame camera terms, so it offers a wide angle of view and a fast maximum aperture at a very reasonable pice. It’s not exactly compact and, like most primes, it doesn’t have image stabilization, but it does boast fast and quiet stepping motor autofocus, two aspherical elements, two SLD and three FLD elements for aberration control.

SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
The Sigma 30mm offers an equivalent focal length of 45mm on an APS-C camera, so it makes and ideal fast standard prime for Fujifilm X-mount cameras. Like the other lenses in this trio, it’s part of Sigma’s Contemporary series, so it balances light weight and portability with optical performance. It uses fast, quiet stepping motor AF, and has a rounded 9-bladed diaphragm for pleasing bokeh.

SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 is equivalent to about 84mm in full frame terms, so this is an ideal portrait lens for Fujifilm X-mount cameras.
