Your channel is one of my favorites for lens reviews. Thank you. From your reviews (and others), I did buy the Sigma 18-55mm for my Fuji XT4. Then I bought the Sigma 50mm, and I’m impressed. And now I’ve ordered the Sigma 10-18mm, and waiting…. Without your channel, I probably wouldn’t have even given Sigma a shot. 😊

It would be great to compare with the Sony 10/20 which is much more recent and a better competitor to the Sigma.

Thanks! 🖖🏼 … but why not the newer Sony 10-20 4.0 vs. Sigma?

Not a fair comparison in my opinion. Well, I guess it's one way to make the brand new Sigma lens shine. No doubt it is excellent but it would have been more helpful to see it up against the Tamron 11-20mm f2.8 and the much newer Sony 10-20mm f4.0.

will you compare the sigma to the tamron 11-20. tx

Seems like the newer sony 10-20mm f4 would be the better comparison

I own a 10-20 which behaves exactly as described by lenstip : super even across the focal range and the frame with max sharpness already wide open. Unless you have a bad copy, I don't believe that there is room at all for "hands down" improvement, especially when reviews report not so impressive homogeneity across the frame for the Sigma. I love my Sigma lenses (18-50 and 30) but this "hands down" statements is onvioulsy bold and I wouldn't give any confidence to the comment. That beeing said, the Sigma is way better at f/2.8, obviously.

What do you think about the Sigma vs the New Sony 10-20 f4

Really enjoyed showing quite a bit of pics comparing it with the Sony lens. Got my Sigma 10-18 two months ago and I am really satisfied with results. Coupled with my A6600 makes a light and compact combo that works great when walking all day around a city.

Wow I just started using Sony cameras and I love how these lenses are so compact, I was looking at the Sony 10-20mm but now this little sigma has caught my eye! Nice job

one really important thing is: The 10-18 OSS is the ONLY wide angle zoom OSS lens. which, in the video world is a deal breaker. Some some videographer will really appreciate it when it comes to handheld shooting, and there is no replacement for it. yes, some sony body have ibis, but it doesn't means ibis will do everything for you. And some legacy cinema cameras don't have ibis. They really need a new wide angle zoom with oss, Sony PLEASE.😢

Hi Arthur. What you think about the non-WR specification on the Sigma? I'm tempting to buy the Tamron 11-20 just because of the WR (I'm Fuji user).

can you test them both on full frame?? How are they with the sony ZV-E1? thanks.

Thanks for doing this comparison! I requested exactly this! 🥳 But okay distortions were not compared at all. That matters a lot too.

Your channel is my favourite to view the 'ad blockers violate YT terms of service'

Please review the Laowa 8-16mm, and how does it perform when using a CPL filter, is there any vignetting from the filter?

Got the sony a while ago for 200€ as a substitute to the laowa 9mm 2.8, it was a steal back then. Glad I snatched it. I was considering the sigma for videos but onestly OSS is far more important to me at the moment that an extra stop of light

How do they compare hand held on a camera body without IBIS for both stills and video ? That' would be a more realistic comparison for most people on a trip or out and about.

I would really love to see a comparison with the Sigma 16mm in everyday usage

Hope you liked Zermatt, one of my all-time favorite places! Good review.

Stopped down, the Sony is a solid lens. It does have some limitations, but for the longest time this was your only choice in a super wide zoom on e mount. The purple fringing is a little annoying but can be taken out in post. If buying brand new I would go for the sigma, but being I already have this lens and know how to work around its' weaknesses, it's worth keeping to me and spending my money on other lenses that expand my range. Just picked up the tamron 70-180 2.8. LOVE. Next on my list a fixed superwide. Any way great comparison review really enjoyed watching.

Its remarkable how close these are in size and weight considering the Sigma is a 2.8. Great test sequences and conclusion.

F2.8 glass all the way. The tamron 28-75 f2.8 is outstanding!

The Sony works fine 13-18mm on full frame I don’t think the Sigma can do that. The OSS plus being half the price seals the deal for me. I don’t need f2.8 shooting at night in well lit city streets like Tokyo etc.

Actually the sigma can too, see Mark Bennet's camera crisis channel for a review that talks about it. Sure the oss is important if you don't already have it in the camera, but, as Arthur said, that's the only point in its favour, and if we're talking about full frame most bodies already have ibis. Finally f4 in Tokyo at night is fine in certain areas, and if it's f4 on full frame, where iso 12800 is still usable... I was in Yokohama, around its famous port, with an 2.8, and I had to go to very slow shutter speeds or crank up the iso, honestly with an f4 there, I would have just go back to my hotel

Surely a good one: compact, quite sharp, f/2.8, and not last, the attractive price, matter. The likely choice if not having any superwide zoom in the shelf already. But if one already owns the old Sony 10-18 4.0 OSS and a not stabilized body like the a6400, the old Sony still makes sense. Even if the Sigma brings a better optical performance, under normal circumstances and not going too far into low light or strong backlight, the picture quality of the old Sony is still quite decent. I don't understand why Sony did not introduce the newer lens with f/2.8 instead of a f/4.0 again. The impact of a wider aperture to allow for lower ISO is critical, specially for APS-C.

Fascinating! Could one use the sigma as a macro lens or is that a really different thing 🧐

I wonder how its compare to Tamron 11-20 2.8 which im using at the moment

Can you please share your jpeg settings of your sony a6000?

i use my sony 1018 solely on f8 because it is the peak sharpness of that lens, you should compare both at the peak sharpness state and see which one is better

Would like to see a video comparison, handheld on a body without image stabilization.

I was waiting for this movie... I hope it will help me to decide if i want new sigma:)

Hi nice video. Would like to see a sigma 10-18 vs the Tamron 11-20 🎉

how does it compare with the newer Sony 10-20mm f4? Would the Sigma still have better image quality and color science if it was also set at f4?

sigma is killing it for APS-C. I am over in fuji land and I think the 18-50 2.8 is the best single lens of the system, if you could only have one lens.

Was able to get the Sony used on eBay for $300 works fine for me. Will stick with it.

All of the new wide angles are very sharp with great features. You don't need comparisons anymore.

Sigma 10-18mm or Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Which is better?

The Sigma lens is definitely better but as an a6400 user the lack of OSS is an instant turn off. I'll just get the Sony lens second-hand for like half the price.

A lens can be decentered, yes. But sometimes a lens is perfectly centered and still blurry - this is called "partial blur". I had to buy three 2470GM2 to get one which is good as promised from Sony. Same with the 70200GM2 which I had to buy 4 times. There is no QC. They just risk 5% of customers to return them and sell it to the next one who doen't care for it.

My question would be how well the sigma covers full frame, the Sony only requires 3 screws to be removed then it covers full frame from 12ish-18

So what you're saying is that this 10 year old, 10-18mm f4 Sony lens is just as capable and good as the new sigma 10-18mm 2.8f lens for real estate photo? And possibly better with OSS for video? I wanted to get the new Sigma 10-18mm for real estate but we always shoot f8 and higher and u said it's the same as the other, which is disappointing i feel.
