Very useful on e mount, this will be a good addition.

On X mount I have more reservations. The 23/1.4 WR strikes me as one of the reasons to buy into the Fuji system — it's one of their best and most useful lenses. I guess this Sigma appeals to the more price sensitive folks. Third party lenses are more interesting to me when they offer something the first party lenses don't.

For example, I can understand picking the Sigma 56 over the Fuji. In addition to the lower price, it's also much smaller.

It seems a bit weird to buy into the system and opt for a third party lens at this focal length. I understand that you likely will get 90%+ of what the Fuji lens offers at a lower price, but it's like buying a Nintendo console and not playing any first party games. The Sigma seems unlikely to offer any advantage other than price.
