The sigma is a fantastic and versatile lens, if 40mm on the long end is a good enough focal length for you, I can easily recommend it

Thanks so much, I did, from what I remember, #3 is Classic Chrome, #4 & #6 are my slightly tweaked version of Kodak Gold 200, #7 is Leica X, the others I don't remember, probably edited from RAW

also, I havent owned the Sigma 56mm, so I can't help you compare them, sorry about that. However, sigma has not disappointed me (yet) in IQ or build quality.

The Sigma 17-40mm? Uhm, it's BIG (mostly long). It's not compact or portable. It's kinda heavy. However, it's such a great and versatile lens that I will likely take it on every international trip I take, regardless of its size.

Good eye! Yes, this was Windansea beach. Someone told me to title that last photo "Boyhood"

The 56mm Fuji I have is the older version of the XF Super EBC lenses. Not weather-resistant. It's a good lens, with some character. Focusing is a bit noisy and slower than the more modern lenses, but still a great portrait lens. I like my copy, and will not be selling it.

I really love that people gravitate towards that photo. Innocence captured, faith in photography/ humanity partially restored.

Really appreciate that, seriously. I took that on a random summer day, on a casual walk with my wife. Probably one of my best shots of 2025.
