Fujifilm X-T5 + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN silver

Fujifilm once again combines the usual retro charm and state-of-the-art technology in the new X-T5. As usual, the Fujifilm X-T5 also offers an APS-C sensor with the popular film simulation, which enables 19 different simulations.

The X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor of the Fujifilm X-T5

Fujifilm's new sensor not only offers a powerful 40.2 MP, but has already found its way into the Fujifilm X-H2. This stacked sensor is capable of recording up to 8K video and offers a particularly high continuous shooting rate of 40 frames per second. The high-resolution CMOS sensor does not require an optical low-pass filter, which is effective against moiré, among other things. This is because the special arrangement of the pixels on the sensor helps to reduce the formation of moiré.

This new pixel structure also contributes to the sensor being able to store a larger amount of light, so that the standard sensitivity of the sensor is now ISO 125. The X-T5 offers a very fast shutter speed of 1/180.00 with electronic shutter. Thanks to this shutter speed, it is possible to work with an open aperture in almost any situation, leaving plenty of room for creativity.

The Fujifilm X-T5's ISO range extends from 125-12,800 and up to 51,200 in the extended range, so nothing stands in the way of your next night-time photo session.

Not only the sensor of the X-T5 offers a lot of advantages, but also an IBIS, which offers the sensor a five-axis stabilization. This IBIS offers up to 7 f-stops of image stabilization. This not only makes it possible to film very well, but also to take good photos in darker situations.

Another exciting feature of the Fujifilm X-T5 is the Pixel Shift Multishot, which makes it possible to shoot 160 MP images with ultra-high resolution and, thanks to the built-in IBIS, is also easily possible. When using this function, 20 images are captured. During these 20 shots, the IBIS shifts the sensor by half a pixel to capture every red, green and blue pixel. The result is a perfect image without demosicing artifacts or color errors.

The autofocus performance of the Fuji X-T5

Thanks to the new X-Processor 5, the autofocus has not only become very fast and even more reliable, but has also made some progress in subject recognition. The subject recognition system detects many different subjects such as: Birds, cars, bicycles, airplanes, bicycles, motorcycles or people reliably and keeps them in focus. The low light autofocus also offers good + reliable performance at up to -7 EV with phase autofocus. Overall, the X-T5 has received some further improved autofocus algorithms and offers a very high reliability around portrait, landscape + co.

The new X-Processor 5

The new X-Processor 5 built into the X-T5 is twice as fast as its predecessor, the X-Processor 4, and not only offers reduced power consumption, allowing you to take even more pictures. The X-Processor 5 also offers HEIF support and improved AI-supported signal processing.

Retro nostalgia with the film simulation

The X-T5 offers 19 digital film simulation modes that reproduce the characteristic look of Fujifilm's classic photographic films, which have been developed for over 85 years. These modes capture the distinctive tones, shades and hues that Fujifilm is famous for, adding a unique touch to your photography.

Video functions of the X-T5

Up to 6.2k at 30 frames per second: that's what the Fuji X-T5 offers you at 4:2:2 and 10-bit color depth. You want 4K recordings? The X-T5 shoots up to 59.94p at 4K and up to 240p in Full HD. If you value the RAW format, you have the option of external RAW recording via HDMI. The camera also features the F-Log2 format, which offers up to 13+ f-stops of dynamic range.

The Fujifilm X-T5 Body

The retro nostalgia of the Fujifilm X-T5 not only offers an excellent feel and the memory of analog times, but also two built-in UHS-II SD card slots, power delivery via USB-C and a Micro HDMI connection. The Fuji also scores highly in terms of robustness: with its weather-resistant body, it can also be used in wet conditions. And even when it gets colder, the Fujifilm works at temperatures as low as -10°C. With a weight of 557g, the camera is also interesting for those for whom weight plays a role.

Operating instructions

The small, flexible "always-on" Lenses! Specially manufactured for Fujifilm cameras with an APS-C sensor, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary covers a range of applications - from landscape and architecture photography, portraits and street photography to macro photography. With a weight of just 290g and a robust construction, it makes no compromises in terms of image quality. It is perfect for on the go and always produces beautiful shots, even in low light conditions!

Powerful autofocus
No matter what the application - nobody wants to miss the perfect moment. The autofocus of the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 scores in all the criteria you would expect from a reliable autofocus. It is fast, precise and almost silent, which is mainly thanks to the built-in stepper motor. Whether portraits of your loved ones or the lively chaos of an unfamiliar city - with this flexible standard zoom you can reliably capture every moment!

Impressive image quality
The optical construction of the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Fujifilm X consists of 13 elements in 10 groups, including three high-precision, blank-pressed aspherical lenses. In addition, there is a super multi-layer coating (SML) and in-camera correction, which largely minimizes aberrations such as chromatic aberrations, vignetting, ghosting, etc. The result is outstanding image quality. The result is outstanding image quality and photos that impress with their clarity, sharpness and richness of contrast!

Beautiful bokeh
Thanks to its consistently high speed of f/2.8 and 7 built-in aperture blades, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary produces a round, soft bokeh, while the subject in the foreground remains razor-sharp.

An absolute lightweight!
One point in which the Sigma standard zoom particularly excels is its exceptionally small design and low weight. It measures just under 7.5cm in length and weighs just 290g. The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary fits in any pocket and is the perfect companion for anyone who prefers to travel without a heavy backpack.

Also suitable for macro photography
With an impressive focusing distance of just 12.1 cm and a maximum magnification of 1:2.8 (both in the wide-angle range), the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 Fujifilm X opens up further possibilities for creative close-ups.

Further functions of the standard zoom
The Sigma standard zoom is kept rather simple and has no other controls apart from the handy zoom and focus ring. For this Lenses, Sigma has deliberately opted for materials that keep the weight low but still ensure robustness. The barrel is made of polycarbonate TSC, while metal was chosen for the internal components. In addition, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary is dust and splash-proof, making it extremely durable despite its compactness and allowing it to be used reliably even in difficult conditions!

What's behind the name?
Contemporary
Sigma's Contemporary product line offers high-performance all-round Lenses for everyday use, combining high optical quality with a compact design and low weight. The product line includes standard, telephoto and zoom Lenses that are suitable for a wide range of applications, from Schnappschuss and landscape photography to travel photography.
DC
Sigma's DC Lenses are specially adapted to the requirements of digital cameras with a sensor size in the so-called APS-C format. You should therefore not use DC Lenses on digital cameras with sensors larger than 23.5 x 15.7mm or analog cameras, as this will inevitably result in vignetting in the corners of the image. Some so-called full-frame cameras automatically reduce the sensor size to the required format when a DC Lenses is detected. Despite their low weight and compact size, DC Lenses offer impressive image quality that more than meets the requirements of digital SLR cameras in APS-C format.
DN
High-performance lenses developed exclusively for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The latest technology in lens development ensures high optical performance, a compact design and quiet autofocus. The outstanding telecentricity guarantees sharp and high-resolution image quality across the entire image plane.
ASP
Normally, light rays close to the edge of a lens are refracted more strongly towards the center than light rays close to the axis. Images taken with an uncorrected system can therefore be blurred towards the edge. The aspherical correction of an optical system now eliminates numerous imaging errors at once. Sharpness is achieved across the entire field of view, distortion is reduced to a minimum and the Lenses can be made smaller and lighter due to our advanced correction methods. Almost all of our Lenses are equipped with at least one aspherical lens element.
IF
With internally focused Lenses, only one or more lens groups are moved inside the Lens to focus. As with rear-focus Lenses, this results in many advantages: Internal focusing ensures faster and quieter focusing. With IF lenses, the overall length of the Lenses remains constant during focusing and the front element does not rotate, which allows you to conveniently use polarizing filters and a tulip-shaped lens hood. As the overall length of the Lenses remains constant during focusing, there is no noticeable weight shift when focusing with this system. As a result, the Lenses is well balanced at all times.
