Does anyone have any visual comparisons between the Canon and two Sigma UWA lenses? These are the:

Sigma 10-22 F4-5.6 EX DC HSM
Sigma 12-24 F4.5-5.6 EX DG Asph HSM
Canon 10-20 F3.5-4.5 EF-S USM

The Sigma 10-22 seems to be the cheapest, but I need opinions on quality, value, comparisons, etc.

Cheers!


Scott

I think you mean the Sigma 10-20 and the Canon 10-22. You can find some comparisons by fStopJoJo and other review sites. Basically the Sigma is close in quality to the Canon (some say better) but cheaper.

I went with the Sigma because I regard this range as a bit specialized/novelty, and the Sigma is about 1/2 price here in Australia. The Sigma has been great. High quality, solid, I think it's great value.

I believe Sigma had some quality control issues early on but most reviews I've read have a lot of good things to say about the Sigma. I don't regret not going with the Canon at all, and it's my only non-Canon lens (except for the Tamron I'm selling)

Scott _ a question that has been a subject many times. They all three are very good lens where a lot of owners make the choice based on their budget savings. I doubt getting either one you'd be disappointed.

Follow this link to the POTN lens sample section to see photos from each lens: Lens Sample Images Archive
