Switch from xc 15-45 to sigma 18-50
A while back I posted here asking about upgrading the lens on my X-T30 II. I had the XC 45 that came with the camera (bought secondhand for a great price), and while it was decent, I always felt it lacked a bit of sharpness.
I finally made the switch and wow, what a difference.
I’ll still keep my 15-45 for traveling a mort vintage look it’s still a great lens.
Here are a few shots from golden hour / low light to give you an idea of the upgrade. The new lens is definitely bigger and will take some getting used to, but the image quality is on another level. The sharpness, contrast, and overall rendering just feel so much more “alive.”
Curious to hear what you all think especially from those who’ve made a similar jump.
