Pros: Great blurry

Cons: AF only good in optimal light conditions (Fuji version)

Opinion: Good yield of the lens. Unfortunately the autofocus becomes very uncertain in low light and backlight conditions (at least paired with my X-M1). I tried in the same light conditions the xf35 1.4 (which notoriously does not excel for AF) and it goes much better. If a firmware update for Fuji is not available soon I think I will resell it

Pros: Sharp already at TA, superb blurry, minimum focusing distance at only 50 cm.

Cons: Practically nothing. With micro 4/3, at a minimum focusing distance, it often struggles to hook, but it is remedied.

Opinion: I do not repeat the merits listed by those who preceded me, but I fully share them. I would like to add an aspect that I have seen a little overlooked. Compared to other bright optics it has a minimum focusing distance reduced, only 50 cm. On micro 4/3 means being able to frame only 13 cm long side. So this excellent lens, generally intended for portraits, I instead use it for macro in focus bracketing on botanical subjects. Used in very open apertures, it offers impeccable sharpness on the subject and a blurry in the background that I had never achieved before with my Nikon FF SLRs. For me it has become an irreplaceable lens, it has changed my way of understanding a certain type of macro.

Pros: Engraving already at full aperture, MAF fast and silent

Cons: Diaphragm ring absent, excessive flare with cutting lights

Opinion: FUJI X VERSION I hope that these impressions of mine can be useful as the first for Fuji X system. Given that in the past I owned 2 version of the now well-known 56mm 1.2 Fuji so my opinion will also be based on the comparison with the latter and will be based on the remarkably low price as far as I am concerned (429 €). The main pros and cons I have listed so I summarize the differences with the respective Fuji... the Sigma is more engraved in almost all situations at the same aperture 1.4, perhaps slightly at the extreme edges the Fuji maintained a more constant detail but they are inertia as far as I am concerned especially for those who make portraits ... MAF fast and silent, like Fuji in Af-S, slightly more responsive in AF-C although, at times, with some perplexity (sometimes for light conditions perhaps). Lack of the diaphragm ring that I love but I can't blame him, and excessive flare with cutting lights that, once taken, "softened", almost as if the machine corrected it slightly once taken. For the rest a lens that I fully recommend ... waiting for the 56mm 1.2 Fuji MKII of course...

Pros: Sharpness and microcontrast to any aperture, weight / bulk, excellent AF, great blurry ... buy it!

Cons: --

Opinion: I used this lens on an A6300 until recently, MAMMA MIA! I switched to Fuji but I regret this lens very much, but Sigma has recently launched the X-Mount version that I will soon buy hoping it will have the same yield it had on Sony. At the price at which it is sold and for the quality it has it is really something incredible. The only thing I unfortunately don't like about Sigma is the aesthetics of contemporary lenses, but who knows! Guys, if you are interested in this type of focal length for APS-C (which is equivalent to an 85FF) buy it and you will not regret it at all.

Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, price

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I have the version for m4/3 taken at 360 euros new, I was amazed at the yield of this little jewel, beautiful colors, blurred pictorial and soft sharpness on the plane of focus already good at ta precise and fast autofocus. I used it for photos under the stage at a concert and I got great results. Recommended without reservations at this price and also absolutely difficult to find better.
