EF-S 10-22 or Sigma 10-20?

[syburn]

Hi,

I plan to take interior photographs and i am wondering if I should use the canon 10-22 or the Sigma 10-20. Would take the canon but the 1x6 crop factor is making me think of the future. Would take the sigma if I did not keep reading not so great reviews.

Hmmmm.. what to do?

If you want a lens that'll work properly and mount on a full frame camera - Your only choice is the Sigma 12-24.

And if that is not an issue, the Canon is your only choice.

Where are these "not so great reviews" of the Sigma 10-20 that you speak of?

Thanks.

There isn't much on the 10-20 but initial comments seem very promising. For example:

Also, Sigma4less has the 30 f1.4 EX now for $399.

Thanks for the link. I agree, initial comments seem very promising. I was just curious where syburn has seen the "not so great" reviews of the Sigma 10-20.

Well, I read an article on the net were they show an enlarged shot from both the 10-22 and the 12-24. THe Sigmas is blurred and not clear and the reviewer says that people have complained about Sigma lens in the past (I'm at work now so I can get to my Favourites folder to find the article).

So what some of you are hinting at that a Sigma is every bit as good as a canon?

Because the only thing that is holding me back from spending money is the 1.6 crop issue or is it really an issue?

Hello Simon,

I think there's some confusion going on here...your original post refers to the Sigma 10-20 which has yet to be released. In the following post, hellashot refers to the Sigma 12-24.

I was asking about reviews for the 10-20 and not the 12-24. We'll have to wait patiently for the 10-20 to arrive before we can make any judgements on that lens. As for the 12-24...it is your only choice if your want a lens for use with FF sensor.

I'm looking for a wide angle lens and am considering the Canon 10-22, Sigma 10-20, Sigma 12-24, Tamron 11-18, and the Tokina 12-24. I've played with the Sigma 12-24 and Tamron 11-18. Both good lenses in my opinion. The Tokina I have not used personally, but have heard many good things about it.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Canon 10-22 and the Sigma 10-20 because of the wide end. My reasoning is if I'm going to go wide, I might as well go wide ;) Unfortnately, I can't make a decision until the Sigma 10-20 arrives.

At this point in time, I'm not hinting that the Sigma 10-20 is every bit as good as the Canon 10-22...but I am saying that we have to wait and see. I would have no problem buying the Sigma if image quality is good. In the meantime, I'll just have to continue waiting and waiting... :rolleyes:
