Fujifilm X-T50 + Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC Art Anthracite

FUJIFILM X-T50: compact system camera with 40.2 megapixel sensor, 6.2K video and film simulation dial
FUJIFILM expands the X series with the FUJIFILM X-T50. The mirrorless system camera impresses with its outstanding image quality, its compact body and FUJIFILM's legendary color reproduction technology.

The X-T50 features a high-resolution 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, an X-Processor 5*1 and five-axis image stabilization with up to seven aperture stops*2. Despite these advanced features, it weighs only approx. 438 grams*3, making it one of the lightest models in the X series. In combination with the new FUJINON XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8R LM WR standard zoom lens, the camera is suitable for a wide range of different subjects.

High image quality
An advanced algorithm works in conjunction with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor to ensure fast image processing with high detail sharpness and improved noise performance. The pixel structure has been optimized so that more light reaches the sensor and a standard sensitivity of ISO 125 is achieved, which was previously only available as an extended sensitivity.*4

The electronic shutter of the X-T50 allows ultra-short exposure times of up to 1/180,000 second, which enables very precise control of the exposure. Even on bright days, you can shoot with fast lenses at open aperture to achieve attractive focus effects.

The X-T50's autofocus system offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. The algorithm developed using deep learning technology not only recognizes and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects and drones*5 in focus.

The X-T50 has 20 film simulations, including "REALA ACE" for natural colour reproduction and high-contrast tonality. This means that numerous picture styles are available, which can be selected to suit the respective scene, similar to analogue films.

The camera also offers a digital teleconverter*6, which takes advantage of the high resolution of the 40.2 megapixel sensor to enlarge the subject by 1.4 or 2.0 times at the touch of a button.

Advanced shooting functions
The internal five-axis image stabilizer allows exposure times of up to seven stops longer. Even in very low light, for example in the evening or at night, you can take sharp pictures freehand.

Videos can be recorded with the X-T50 in 6.2K quality at 30 frames per second. The tracking AF follows dynamic objects during movie recording and reliably keeps them in focus.

In AUTO mode, the camera automatically recognizes the subject and automatically selects the optimum shooting settings. Moving objects remain in focus without the photographer's intervention, making it easier to take photos and movies. The mode can be activated at any time using a selection switch on the top of the camera housing.

Modern product design
The design of the camera housing has been further developed and optimized in several ways. Rounded edges and a redesigned handle ensure comfortable and uncomplicated handling.

The film simulation dial on the top of the camera is a new feature. This can be used to intuitively switch between the different film simulation modes depending on the subject or scene, both when taking photos and when filming.

The camera has a built-in flash unit. The brightness of the flash automatically adjusts to the respective subject. Dark scenes or backlit portraits are optimally illuminated.

The folding LCD monitor with 1.84 million pixels offers a precise preview and makes it easier to take photos from unusual angles. The shape of the handgrip and the arrangement of the rear controls have been redesigned to make shooting and filming even more comfortable.

With a wide F1.8 aperture and exceptional image quality comparable to a fixed focal length across the entire zoom range, this zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras pushes the boundaries of photographic and cinematic expression.

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art builds on the groundbreaking innovations of the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art, which was the world's first F1.8 zoom lens and was highly acclaimed in the photo and video industry. Thirteen years after its introduction, this next generation Lens not only achieves superior optical performance, but also a longer focal length of 17-40mm while reducing weight by over 30%. This significantly improves the versatility of a standard wide aperture zoom lens.

In addition to fast and quiet autofocus, powered by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), the Lens features an internal zoom mechanism and minimal focus breathing, ensuring outstanding performance for both stills and video. Sigma, the pioneer that stunned the world with the world's first F1.8 zoom lens, has once again revolutionized the history of fast zoom lenses with groundbreaking advances.

Constant maximum aperture of F1.8
The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art offers the convenience of a zoom lens with a constant aperture of F1.8 over the entire zoom range. Thanks to the large aperture, comparable to a fixed focal length, the Lens is suitable for low-light environments such as interiors and night shots, as well as for shots with strong bokeh.

Outstanding optical performance
The optical design, realized by state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technologies, including high-precision aspherical lenses, achieves outstanding optical performance. By correcting axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma, high resolution is achieved even at F1.8 aperture - the finest details and textures are clearly reproduced.

Flexible framing possible
The zoom range of the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art has been extended compared to the predecessor model Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art and covers 25.5-60 mm in 35 mm format.* From wide-angle table shots to portraits with a full telephoto angle of view - users can take full advantage of the expressive power of the F1.8 aperture without having to change the Lens.
* Approx. 27.2-64 mm for the Canon RF version.

Minimized flare and ghosting
By using advanced simulation technology and Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating, flare and ghosting are largely eliminated - for rich, high-contrast images in all conditions.

Practical and stable internal zoom
Thanks to the internal zoom mechanism, the overall length of the Lens remains constant when zooming or focusing. This makes handling easier and ensures high stability - both for hand-held, tripod and gimbal shots. It also offers better protection against dust and water.

More mobility thanks to compact, lightweight design
The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art is over 30 % lighter than its predecessor (Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art) and has a filter thread of only 67 mm. Despite its large aperture, it is surprisingly portable. This allows the expressive power of F1.8 to be used with a compact APS-C system - ideal for travel, everyday photography and video applications where mobility is crucial.

Dust and splash-proof construction / water and oil-repellent coating
In addition to the weather-resistant construction, the front lens surface has a water and oil-repellent coating. The Lens can therefore be used safely even in harsh outdoor environments.
*The product is dust and splash-proof, but not waterproof. Therefore, avoid heavy exposure to water - water inside can cause serious damage and make repairs impossible.

Two AFL buttons
Equipped with two AFL buttons*¹*² that can be assigned any function from the camera menu. Thanks to their positioning on the side and top, they are easy to operate in both portrait and landscape format.
*¹ Function only available with supported cameras. The available functions may vary depending on the camera.
*² The FUJIFILM X version has an AF function button that can be used to switch between AF lock and AF mode.

HLA-controlled high-speed AF
The use of the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) enables quiet, fast and precise autofocus. The smooth, stable focus is ideal for photos, but also for one-man productions with a gimbal or when vlogging.

Minimal focus breathing
Focus breathing is suppressed - this keeps image angle changes to a minimum when focusing. This results in smooth, natural focus shifts during video recordings.

Aperture ring with various functions
Equipped with an aperture ring*¹ for intuitive aperture control. The click switch can be deactivated for video recordings - for smooth, quiet aperture changes. An additional lock switch*² prevents unintentional adjustments.
*¹ The Canon RF version has a control ring instead - no click or lock switch.
*² When activated in position A, the ring is fixed there. In other positions it can only be adjusted in the range from open to minimum aperture.
