Sigma 16-300mmF3.5-6.7 vs Tamron 18-300mmF3.5-6.3 – Specs Comparison

Share

Earlier today Sigma has announced the Sigma 16-300mmF3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary. You can pre-order it here.

It’s only competitor is the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3.

I used the BH comparison tool to compare side by side the specs of both lenses.

At a first glance, I’d say that at least for me the Sigma 16-300mm is the better pick, mainly because of the 16mm at the wide end. But it also has more aperture blades (which potentially means smoother bokeh) and a more sophisticated lens design. All of it packed in a lens about the same size of the Tamron and at the same price, too.

But feel free to take a look at the specs comparison yourself and let us know in the comments what you think is the better pick.

About Those Fujifilm X-T6, X-H3S, X-Pro4 “Rumors” and the Truth Behind Them

Share

Fujifilm Rumors

Today I have received what I believe is the 179th message by a FR-reader telling me about massive Fujifilm X-T6, X-H3S, X-Pro4 and more leaks that appear all over YouTube.

And since time is the most precious thing, I will no longer reply individually to those message, but instead I’ll make one single article, this one, and just link it if people ask me about it in future.

So what’s the deal.

Over the last few months tons of videos keep appearing on the internet claiming to have all possible exclusive specs and leaks on upcoming Fujifilm gear. And surprisingly many people take them seriously (and I will explain why below).

But here is the truth: none of the videos you see is real. They are all fake, scripted and created by AI.

Everything they say in them is fake and wrong. The only correct thing in those videos is if AI takes something published on FujiRumors and uses it for its script.

Initially I decided to just ignore them, but the amount of messages I am getting is just too high, so I need to address it once for all.

Look, these guys use AI to create fake clickbait videos and make some money out of your good faith and trust. It’s up to you to decide if you want to reward them for misleading you by watching their videos, or just to straight out ignore their videos.

The true rumors, may them come from FujiRumors or other sources (which we will quote), you’ll always find them here on FujiRumors. You can relax, ignore those videos and just follow FujiRumors.

Why People take these Videos Seriously

I don’t blame anyone for taking these “rumors” seriously—in the end, it’s my responsibility.

Why?

Because over the years, FujiRumors has built a near 100% accuracy rate with rumors.

As a result, people now associate “rumor” with “this must be true.”

The downside? Since our rumors are so reliable, people start believing just every rumor they come across online. Because rumors are usually true, right?

But it’s important to differentiate and consider who is actually sharing the rumor.

But you don’t have to go through the cumbersome process of trying to figure out which rumors are correct and which ones not. Let me just do it for you. If I stumble on something that has some substance, I will share it for you here on FujiRumors and of course give you the source, so you can see yourself who is accurate.

And then there are always our kind sources, who will guide us through the thick jungle of rumors and show us the right path.

So guys, everything you need to know, you’ll always find it on FujiRumors.

Spare your time and use it wiser. I recommend you not to follow those fake channels. Just refresh FujiRumors every now and then. ;)

Fujifilm’s Half Frame Camera Coming with Vertical LCD

Share

Look guys, this camera is vastly a mystery also for me.

All I know is that it has a 1″ sensor and that Fujifilm will market it as a “half-frame” camera.

But don’t ask me if it will be like a digital version of the Pentax 17 half frame or look more like the  Yashica Samurai X3.0.

A little detail I can add today: it has a vertical LCD on the back of the camera.

If you want to know a bit more in detail how this camera is supposed to function, check out our previous rumor here.
