Would love to see a detailed comparison with the Tamron 11-20

I picked this over the Tamron for being cheape and, smaller. I'm not a pixel peeper so the minor image quality difference is not an issue. Great little lens! Really pleased with the pictures I've taken with it. UWA gives you some really nice, dramatic pictures!

informative review thanks Gordon.

The older I get, the lighter I want my camera gear . This lens fits right in that category. I have looked at the Tamron, but I like this lens's size and 10mm. What about the sharpness of the two lenses, you might wonder? I'm not a professional, and I don't think my images will get larger than 16x20, but who knows. Great review. Thanks.

I moved over from DSLR to mirrorless for that exact reason: to travel light. This lens is perfect for my needs and it's cheaper than the competition which is a nice little bonus. I'm not a pixel peeper, and I'm amazed by the IQ from this piece of glass. Sigma did a great job despite some missing features like aperture ring and WR.

I'm just starting out as a photographer, and I currently have the 18-50. If I get this, and the Sony 70-350, I feel like I won't need any other lenses lol

Hi. Thx for the review. When looking at corner sharpness was the lens still focused at the centre? ie if a subject was placed at the corner and focused upon would it appear sharper? (Please note I am questioning my understanding of your review, not its quality! And if I am just revealing my ignorance about focusing then even more apologies. ;-)

@cameralabs

9 ай бұрын

It's a good question and apologies as I normally state in my reviews where I focus. For that test I focused in the middle to test for field flatness. Yes, if you focus in the corner, it can be sharper in that area. I sometimes try to include examples of both, but my testing time with this lens was limited.

Great review as always Gordon! I just had a doubt, do you know if Fuji bodies do in camera corrections for this lens (or other Sigma or Tamron lenses)? You mentioned that's the way this lens is intended to be used but I'm not sure if that's available in Fuji. Cheers!

@@urbanie definitely, and APSC lenses on full frame can also let you deploy extra digital stabilisation, effectively using that as the crop.

I mean it is an APSC lens. And you can use it on full frame as well since at certain focal lengths it covers almost the entire sensor, meaning it goes beyond the 15-27 equivalence.

Get the a7CR, and you'll have two cameras in one. I have the a7R5 with FF lenses, but I also have apsc lenses for when I'm on a trip and I want to travel small and light. I recently went to a wedding at the grand canyon and because we had so much other stuff I brought only apsc lenses with my a7R5. I brought the Sony 10-20mm f4, Sigma 18-50mm f2.8, and the Sigma 56mm f1.4. The pictures were 26mpx, they turned out great, and the small setup was nice to use.

@anonymousl5150

@@dalefrolander3583 A7CR is overpriced at 3k unless you're using all its video features. And even then for travel there are better value cameras, many of them apsc or older ff. The viewfinder is poor, even if it's a step up from the awful A7C's. Anyone wanting to use the best full frame lenses can use them on apsc no problem, infact it's even sharper corner to corner because the weakest part of the image circle is cut off.

Did anyone test the lens with the ND filter for video? Is it vignetting at the wide end? Thanks!

£600 for an APSC lens??? I got myself an EF 17-35mm L lens for £300 off ebay last year. Yeah, second hand, and heavy, but nothing wrong with it and it's full frame, which gives me more options. Also being Canon allows all the lens correction software to work in DPP. The picture is very sharp on my R7.
