TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8 vs Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7

Very recently two new 56mm autofocus lenses joined the X mount system, the TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8 and the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7.

FujiFanBoys made a comparison between the two lenses which you can see below to help you figure out which budget friendly 56mm option is the best for you.

Based on their comparison, I personally would go for this one. But as always in these cases, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer. It’s just a matter of personal preferences and needs.

Sigma Japan Suspends Orders for Entire DC DN Lens Lineup

Sigma Japan just announced the suspension of orders for the following DC DN APS-C lenses:

So the entire APS-C lineup orders are on hold in Japan. I don’t know if this is valid for the rest of the world too, but for now they seem to be still available for order at stores like BHphoto.

The motivation they give is strange: the demand exceeds Sigma’s expectations.

So I wonder what happened. If all of a sudden demand for Sigma APS-C lenses rose strongly, or if maybe Sigma’s production capacity dropped for reasons we do not know.
