The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN C and the Fujifilm 23mm F1.4 R for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN C is the longer of the two lenses at 77mm. The Fujifilm 23mm F1.4 R with a length of 63mm, is 14mm shorter. On the other hand, the Fujifilm 23mm F1.4 R has a larger diameter of 72mm compared to the Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN C's 66mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Fujifilm 23mm F1.4 R weighs 300g, 11% (40g) lighter than the Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN C's weight of 340g.
