Sigma 23mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Review X Mount:

Sigma has some great APS-C lenses that they have been steadily introducing to Fujifilm X mount users.  Today, another lens for X mount has been announced: The Sigma 23mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary.  The 23mm is a 35mm equivalent on a Fuji X body, which makes it an essential lens for many users that are interested in travel, environmental portrait, and street photography.  Furthermore, having that large f1.4 maximum aperture only increases this lens’ versatility.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to get a pre-launch sample to test.  Here’s what I think of the 23mm f1.4 for X mount.

Sigma 100-400mm DG DN OS Contemporary Review:

If you’re a Fujifilm X series shooter, and you’re looking for an ultra telephoto zoom, Sigma might have just the answer.  As of today, they have announced the Sigma 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary in Fujifilm X mount.  In 35mm terms, this is a 150-600mm equivalent, which is great for subjects like wildlife, sports, and landscape, just to name a few.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to get a pre-release sample to test.  Here are my thoughts on it.

Portrait: Leica M11 and Voigtlander Classic 35mm f1.4 MC:

Sigma 14mm f1.4 Art: Some Black And White Images:

Hey everyone!  I hope you all had a good weekend.  As some of you know, I recently posted a full review of the Sigma 14mm f1.4 DG DN Art last week, when the lens was officially announced.  I really enjoyed my time with it, and I had a few images left over that I was playing around in Capture One.  At first, I was editing them as color images but decided to switch it up a bit, and make them black and white.  I thought I might as well post them up.

Sigma 14mm f1.4 DG DN Art Lens Review L Mount:

For those looking to photograph landscape, and images with beautiful starry nights, an ultra wide angle lens with a large maximum aperture, such as, the Sigma 14mm f1.4 DG DN Art, can be a huge help.  As of June 2023, this newly announced lens is the world’s widest f1.4 single focal length lens that is non-fisheye, and it’s been designed exclusively for mirrorless camera systems like Leica L mount, and Sony E mount.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to get an early production sample in L mount before the official release date to test.  Here are my thoughts.
