Sigma 14mm f1.8 DG HSM Art Review L Mount:

We have some great wide angle lens options out there nowadays, especially when we’re talking about L mount.  I don’t just mean something like a typical 24mm lens, for example.  There are actually some serious ultra wide angle glass to choose from that can really up one’s game in photography.  Take, for instance, the Sigma 14mm f1.8 DG HSM Art.  While it comes in several different mounts, being that I am an L mount user, I had the L mount version to test.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to give it a go, and here are my thoughts about it.

More Wildlife From The Sigma 100-400mm Contemporary:

Hey everyone.  I was fortunate to get my hands on a pre-launch sample of the Sigma 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary in Fujifilm X mount to test, which I posted a full review of on launch day.  For those wanting more info on the lens, the review can be found here.  I had a fantastic time with it, and it’s so nice to have another long telephoto option for X mount.  In addition to it producing phenomenal images, I found it to be a great match ergonomically for the compact Fuji X Series system.  The lens is lighter, and more compact than what typically is expected from a long telephoto zoom, and it balances beautifully with the Fujifilm bodies.  Anyway, I had a few left over images that I thought I would post them here.

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.
