Title says it all. Planning my first trip over to the Islands. As you can see in my sig, my widest is 17mm. Would I regret not having something wider? Is the efs 10-22 worth the $200 price difference from the Sigma 10-20?

I've never used the Sigma but the Canon's IQ is awesome. Here is a thread to check out: https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=1193134&postcount=816

But, isn't that usually the case? I mean, you'll always want to go wider at some point. You'll always find a use for UWA on a vacation. - James -

I was in the same situation... not sure if I should spring for the UWA or not. Well I did and I sure am glad as there were way to many oppertunities to have not had it. I took my XTI, 11-18 Tamron, 17-85 IS, and my 70-300 IS. 5DMKIII ll 35L ll 24-70L ll 70-200L II ll 2x TC ll 1.4x TC ll 580EXII

That was easilly the most fun I've had with my SD450 and under water housing. I would have stayed there the entire trip had I known better. - James -

Oct 03, 2007 02:20 | #10 The Sigma comes with a pouch and hood and will perform the same. You only get the lens and caps with the Canon. Get a UWA if you like taking landscape photos. If your going to have a model in your shot, just increase the magnification to eleminate the HUGE distortion at 10mm. Have Fun! UWA is a Very Fun lens to have. Aloha,

runninmann what the heck do I know?  More info | Oct 03, 2007 11:09 | #14 jj_photography wrote in post #4054343 Hey If you get the efs and upgrade to FF your better of getting the sigma. Cheers Why? The Sigma 10-20 is built for APS-C sensors. I believe you can mount the lens to a FF body, but you will experience vignetting. Are you thinking of the 12-24?
