Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 vs Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 Size Comparison

Here is a quick and approximate size comparison between the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 MKII, the upcoming Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART and the old Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8.

It seems that in terms of size the new Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART will sit somewhere in between the two Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 lenses.

As a reference: the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 II weights 410 gram whereas the Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 weights ⁠535 gram.

If the optical quality is very good (and we will find it out on June 17), then the Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 could be a game-changing lens for some fellow Fujifilm APS-C shooters.

Remember: we shared images and full specs of the Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 here.

BREAKING: First Leaked Image of the Fujifilm X-E5 — The Most Beautiful X-E Camera Ever Made!

Maybe you are having a barbecue with friends.

Maybe you’re out on a road trip, music on, windows down.

Or maybe you’re just enjoying a quiet Sunday, far from work and deadlines.

Whatever (hopefully pleasant) activity you’re up to, I hope you’ll forgive me for briefly interrupting, because I’ve got something exciting to share: the first leaked image of the Fujifilm X-E5.

You can see it in all its beauty above. And for a larger more detailed view, check out the image below.

We notice:

  • the return of the MCS switch (like on the X100VI)—missing on the X-E4, and I’m glad to see it back
  • a viewfinder selector similar to the one on the X100VI, likely functioning like the one on the GFX100RF
  • a bit of a grip, unlike the flat front of the X-E4
  • back to the more traditional strap eyelets, instead of the rectangular and bigger ones on the X-E4.
  • a small wheel on the left side, maybe the diopter adjustment dial
  • no “X-E5” logo on the front left—replaced by a square AF assist lamp. Honestly, that’s a design decision I welcome
  • clearly the sexiest X-E camera ever made
  • and while you can’t see it in the image… trust me, this thing’s going to sell like hot cakes!

Make sure to stay tuned on FujiRumors on June 12 at 5AM New York time for the announcement.
