Wow just priced lenses

Just priced a Canon 10-22 for $849 and a Sigma 10-20 for like $500. Naturally the Sigma is out of stock, but the Canon is in stock.

Not sure if I sure get one of these or a prime 30. But I really wanted a UWA

check used

Why is the 10-22 $849? Where are you looking?

Just for comparison B&H has it for $720, and the imported one for $699. Man I'm glad I got mine back when they were $600

Used 10-22's will run anywhere from $600.00-$650.00 depending on condition and accessories included.

The Sigma is $467 on Amazon. I am sure you can find it a bit cheaper elsewhere if you do a little digging.

Got the 10-22 from adorama several weeks ago and only paid $700 for it. I'm sure you can get it cheaper than $849!

Just checked: the 10-22 is $720 right now at adorama. I imagine B & H has it for the same price.

Is any one of them better than the other?

Check Adorama or BH its less then that.

Sigma's quality control is famously not so hot.
There's a chance you'll get a lens with focus problems,etc.

If you get a good lens though, its pretty sharp and very close to canon quality. If you buy sigma, I recommend you buy from a local camera shop where you can go out in the parking lot and actually test the focusing and etc.

Don't forget to add in Bing Cashback while you still can (Ends 7/30).

thinking of selling our 10-22, canon UV filter, and canon hood...

about 600 ish...

sctbiggs: thanks I'll think about that. Still trying to decide if I want to really go with a UWA or a prime.

Yeah, far less than a 10% chance. Don't overestimate the problem; most people don't have issues.

Have you considered looking at the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8? Also $700.

You need to stop shopping where you are getting those prices. If you go for either sigma look at abesofmaine.com saves 10%
