Sigma Mount Conversion Service turns Your Sony E Mount DC DN into Fujifilm X Mount Lens

Share

Sigma is creating quite some buzz right now with the official announcement of their first X mount lenses and the teaser of more goodness to come in future.

What some might not know, is that Sigma also offers a “mount conversion service”.So, if you already own any of these lenses for other mounts and now would like them for your new Fuji X system, you can get them converted directly by Sigma.

Available Mount Conversion Service

This service converts the mount of SIGMA lenses to that of a different camera body, allowing photographers to continue using their favorite lenses over the long term regardless of camera system.

Note 1: The Mount Conversion Service is different from a normal repair. In order to apply for the service, please contact your nearest authorized SIGMA subsidiary or distributor. https://www.sigma-global.com/en/world-network/
Note 2: This service is performed exclusively by SIGMA.

Voigtländer Nokton 23mmF1.2 X Additional Specs and Images

Share

Yesterday we reported how Cosina, in addition to the current Voigländer Nokton 35mm f/1.2 X, is about to launch also the Voigländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2 X.

Now Cosina has published the main specs and a new product image (see above) of this lens at their website in Japanese, which I now report here on FujiRumors machine translated.

A large aperture quasi-wide-angle lens with the latest optics using one double-sided aspherical lens and two abnormal partial dispersion glass. Although it is a compact size, it has excellent resolution from the aperture opening, and large blur due to the large aperture of F1.2 can be obtained.

Just as the 35mm version, also this one has electronic contacts to transfer certain information such as EXIF data.

I love the look of this lens, and actually also of the Voigländer Nokton 35mm f/1.2 X. And although I am tempted to get one, I so far have not treated myself with one, since I’d pay for features (the electronic contacts) that do not work on my Fujifilm X-E3.

This is why I got the much more affordable TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4, which you can see attached to my X-E3 here.

At the bottom of this article you will also find which Fujifilm X cameras are currently supported.

New Voigtländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X Coming Soon

Share

Voigtländer Nokton 23mmF1.2 X

Last year, Cosina launched the Voigtländer Nokton 35mmF1.2 X, with no autofocus, but with electronic contacts which allows for transfer of EXIF data and more (more details at the bottom of the article).

Now Cosina will also launch the Voigtländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2 APS-C lens for Nikon Z and Fujifilm X mount.

Also in this case, there will be electronic contacts but not autofocus.

It’s nice to see that Cosina understands us Fujifilm X shooters (or most of us) better than what Sigma does, and did put the effort to design the X mount version with an aperture ring. I wish the new Sigma X mount trinity would have an aperture ring too. But it’s no dealbreaker in my eyes. I shot my 27mmF2.8 without aperture ring for long and with great joy (but I replaced it now with the new XF27mmF2.8 with aperture ring).

For me, shooting Fujifilm is not only, but also about the experience. This is also the reason why I got the TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4. It’s the look and feel of it, attached to my X-E3 or X-T4, that simply makes me enjoy shooting with it every now and then.

And surely the new Voigtländer NOKTON lenses for Fujifilm X hit the same nerve, with a lovely vintage design and the bonus of electronic contacts that make it an appealing option for X shooters.

Personally, though, the Voigtländer options is not on my radar, because my Fujifilm X-E3 camera is not supported (yet). The full list of supported X series cameras can be found at the very bottom of this article.

In Your Hands Soon: Fujifilm Video Shows Assembly and Shipping of Fujifilm XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR

Share

Fujifilm has shared a video that quickly shows how the Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R WR LM is been assembled, packed and put in a truck for deliver to customers soon.

The final promise: “it will be in your hands soon”.

The lens itself seems to be manufactured in the Fuji’s factory in the Philippines (Calamba, Laguna – street view on Google Maps here), which is able to produce 18 million lenses a year.

Well, that was a rather long wait, with several postponements. But hopefully the shortage for this lens is now finally over and Fujifilm was able to produce enough samples to fulfill all pre-orders.

You can see the video shared below also on our Instagram.
