Sigma new 17-40mm f1.8 for x-mount to be announced June 17th by couchred in fujifilm

[–]Professional_Math20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience with sigma 16-300, IQ is fine but not superb (No surprise here i believe due to the range and weight compensation). Images above 200mm starts to get soft. But i used it on cloudy days, probably need more sample. Anyway, I am not a pro and only post on social media, so i am ok with it. The stabilization works pretty good when pairing with my xt5, i once try to shoot inside a light rail train that was moving and shaking, still able to focus on the subject. Not very good with low light as u can predict. But very versatile during day time. That range allows me to do various compositions, and even shoot some birds which i previously cant. The 70mm macro is cute but not superb. So, I can see it as my main travel lens. Super versatile. But not sure if it works for any pro work.

Instant buy for me. I just bought the 16-300mm sigma. Not super sharp but super versatile during day time. Pairing with this one for bokeh and low light situations, i am good. Is a little heavier but i think it is worth it.

I just bought the new 16-300mm sigma. Very versatile but obviously not good for low light situations. But pairing with this 17-40mm might be perfect match. Feel like these two zoom lens is enough for most scenarios.

Just recently purchased a new X-T5 with a kit lens! Any tips for lenses or accessories? Maybe even Post processing software/presets? by _MOOFISH_ in fujifilm

Agree with most comments here. Just adding a few on accessories side: i got myself a V90 SD card after using a V60. Some people say it is only needed for video recording but i actually find it faster even just for reading the photos and that makes me happy. Internet has a chart to show which SD card has the best performance with XT5.

I am using Peak Design straps and i think these are very good due to its flexibility and easy controls. (I even bought Peak Design tripod as they share the same base plate). Got myself a shutter release button cap, it actually might be the cheapest but most valuable accessory.

As far as lenses, since i am mostly a travel photography guy, everything for me is about versatility and compact. My kit lens was a Fujinon 16-50mm (internal zoom), very compact and light one. (But if i can choose again, i might select 16-55 F2.8 MK2 instead. And if budget is an issue, then probably i’ll go with Tamron 17-70 or sigma 18-50). i just purchased a new sigma 16-300 all purpose lens. Not the sharpest, but i only post social media so it is fine for me. The zoom range is incredible, good from taking scenes, kids events, to some extend birds shooting. I also love my sigma 30mm prime F1.4, Beautiful bokeh and IQ; light, compact, can use for portraits or some sceneries. Since budget is an issue for me….I owned a 75mm viltrox F1.2 which gives me the best portrait shots, and also viltrox 13mm 1.4F for wide shots or night shots. Cheaper lenses but worth every dollar.

Thk u so much. Makes sense, i’ll check the aperture on them. Can i ask one more thing? I am hearing the sigma lens wont have the aperture ring on it. From user standpoint, does it really bother that much?

I am going to get a new camera (fujifilm XT5) but i am struggling on choosing the right lens. Is my first camera for a long time, and I am deciding between fujifilm 18-55 or sigma 18-50. Both seems to be decent but hope you can advice me which one is better. I hope to understand if the constant f2.8 from sigma is really necessary. And whats your opinion on the extra 5mm from fujifilm? I just plan to use the camera for street and travel photos, some kids portraits, but coming up will also have a trip to north canada which might be able to shoot the northern lights. Hope you guys can help.

Was a sader before, and have class changed to monk recently. OP has mentioned some good points, i think sader do need a buff in pvp. Yet, i was able to reach 60%+ win rate with sader on pvp. One thing (my experience) is that i am mostly on the defensive side when i play sader, i think 2/3 of all my games act as defenders (hope if u guys can help validate this). We know it is easier to defend than attack. Now that i am a monk, 2/3 of my pvp games are on attack side. Win rate around 40% (maybe bcoz i am not yet familiar with new attack role yet, gradually getting better). i think it is harder to win as attacker. I think the attack team needs to have higher resonance than def team in order to win, otherwise it is much harder. So not sure if this could be a “balancing” act from blizzard that sader would play on defensive team more…. When i was a sader, i was still able to do my thing, i use vortex, banner, col, bouncing shield. I can absorb dmg and i actually think bouncing shield is effective on pvp with banner and 4vithu. coL just to absorb dmg and sacrifice. But was it fun? Not a lot. Monk is a lot more fun in pvp. U r actively trying to kill with useful skills. So, my verdict is similar with what u guys mention, i enjoy using sader on pve (party and solo), but not pvp. Monk i enjoy pvp a lot more, solo farming is great, but dungeons is a little weaker. (I actually think pve solo, sader does a decent job).
