【Appreciate】? I saw two guys use this word in top 1 and top 2 reply. did u get money from sigma? or u just a western who had been tamed by Japanese in spirit? Appreciated? u buy their product with paying ur money. appreciate for what? did u appreciate Mcdonald for cheap fast food, Tyson for meat, Apple for phone, even ur local electronic power supplier, ur kids school and teachers? but appreciated for a Jap company who took ur money. and this product is worse and later than another Company product called Tamron 11-20 F2.8. Appreciated? very interesting！
I always appreciated the 'holy trinity' of APSC lenses Sigma had, but coupled with some other lenses and a zoom or two, that's a lot of gear. So I always hoped, especially after the excellent 18-50 f2.8 zoom, that Sigma would create a holy trinity of zooms. I wouldn't need anything else if those lenses were good enough. So I'm really glad to see this hope beginning to come true... Now waiting for a 50-150 or 50-200...
I know primes are the way to go for ultimate sharpness and aperture, but I've been looking at getting some kind of Fuji as a secondary EDC to compliment my bigger FF setup and having the 10-18 and 18-50 zooms would cover just about everything I need.

I have that lens as well as the Sony 16 - 55 mm for my Sony a6700. Itg is a shame, that neither Sigma nor anybody else ever invested in a small high-quality 50-150mm f/2.8 lens for APS-C. But since I needed a capable small zoom fast, I opted for the Sony 70-200mm f/4. This lens is absolutely amazing. It is very sharp, can do macro, is very portable and looks very cool. And it takes converters(!).
Nice review! I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between this lens and the Tamron 11-20 when both are focused farther than 1-2 meters. Using test charts is great for most lenses but for UWA ones you really need to get up close to them which puts UWA optics at disadvantage as they don't usually perform at their best when focused up close.
Another practical review of an excellent wide angle lens, for my a6400, in a way slightly torn between the Sigma and Tamron, however given how helpful Sigma has been to Sony apsc owners, will be purchasing this lens when it becomes available in Australia.
It was tested and compared that the A6700 sensor is just the A7RV cropped. I’m sure there was an article out there. If it’s not the exact same it’s close enough according to those tests.
idk guys, if judging by youtube reviews, Tamron 11-20mm don't seem like a better choice, it breathes noticeably, some reviews shows that it's less sharp than Sigma, and it's more expensive ;c but the sun stars seems to be better
I routinely shoot 26MP RAW (m) mode on my A7RV with Sigma 16-28 and it’s excellent. Would be interesting to see how this smaller lighter lens compares in crop mode with same resolution. Looks like a great travel lens!
Gordon Laing from Camera Labs review is similar to this one, he considers the Tamron better also.. So, Frost has it as amazing and the other 2 I've seen say it's good, not great
Agreed. Frost's review had me excited, this one reins me back in a bit. I wish Gordon Laing had a review of the Tamron 11-20; would be a useful comparison. Also would like to see a head to head with the Sony 10-20.
The a7R5 really is two cameras in one. I just went to a wedding and since I was traveling with a lot of stuff I brought my a7R5 and only apsc lenses to save room. I brought the Sony 10-20mm f4, Sigma 18-50mm f2.8, and the Sigma 56mm f1.4. I kind of wish I had brought the Sony 135mm f1.8, but the pictures turned out great anyway. I'm wondering how the image quality of this lens compares to the Sony 10-20mm f4. I really like the Sony 10-20mm, but being an f4, would I still recommend it or the Sigma to my friend.
😊Whew ! I just bought the Tamron 11-20 a week before the Sigma was announced. I am glad that I made the right choice for my a6700. I have it paired with Sigma 18-50 and am travelling with it now. It is wonderful to be able to reduce the weight and the space . I also had room for Tamron 's 70-300 and a couple of small fast primes in my carry-on luggage.
Looking at Frost's tests, they are roughly the same. Slightly brighter at 10 mm f/2.8 than Tamron's 11 mm f/2.8, less fringing, sharper corners on both ends. Tamron looks slightly shaper at 20 mm than Sigma at 18 mm in the center, while corner it outperforms in resolution but not contrast. Same reproduction ratio of 0.25. But the Sigma is over 20 mm shorter and 70 grams lighter, I would personally prefer that for travel.
I got the lens today , yes it's a very good lens as long as you are not planning to zoom in/out , especially when recording video. It loses focus terribly when zooming in/out on XT5 , and exposure is all over the place if you zoom no matter what your setting are .
I hear you on the minor fluctuation in exposure when zooming in/out. For me it's not that drastic that the video is unusable. I'm sure there is a way to fix this. As for losing focus when zooming in/out, I haven't had that problem. It seems to acquire focs pretty quick.
@@OMURFERAHCAN yes, I am on firmware 4.00. The minor changes in exposure is a known phenomena on all cameras (Sony, Canon, Panasonic) apparently. My guess is it is the camera adjusting exposure as the amount of light changes with the framing.
Sigma are ones aware that people going for crop want a smaller, lighter and cheaper package. Overall been really happy with my other sigma lenses, so im sure this would be good also. Thanks for the review.
@@PrimalShutter i wouldn't even mind the same sensor. THe Z50/Z30 has one of the best lowlight performances in the lowlight department, although still beat by Fuji
It's really interesting because I'm a landscape photographer and yeah I'm probably professional well less I am because I sell images and I also teach landscape photography. Sunflare is such an overrated attribute for a lens because there's so many times when we don't shoot into the sun it's such an overrated thing that I constantly see people reviewing. I could probably count five photos in the last two years where I've pointed it directly at the sun to get a flair. It's just not a thing that I rate in lenses and this is coming from someone that shoots landscapes three times a week. No, that's my little tantrum out that way. I think this is quite a good lens I use the 8 to 16 mm which is a fantastic lens. I also have the Viltrox 13 ..... Which I think is the most underrated wide-angle lens that Fuji make, and I'm using that on a Fujifilm XT5 for my Astro work and close at work, and I'll say a bokeh shot -I think it's a great lens to add to the Fujifilm collection I'm thinking, but I know they're making it in other brands as well
I'm in a state of shock, like Jordan must have been during this lens review video...Chris three or four times caught using a tripod...was this something that was written into his PetaPixel contract when he moved over from DPReview, must use tripods, and been recorded/photographed doing so. I thought from past comments, tripods were evil as far as Chris was concerned 😂.
Loved the fall colours…what did you record this on? Did I miss that? Looks like a great lens, especially for travel. And Chris; you need to do more cardio..try a series of 30 -60 second kettlebell swings starting with a pood and working up over time to 1.5 pood.
Dammit, Sigma. I know it's a silly gripe, but I really wish they'd put the zoom ring the other way around. The majority of manufacturers do it that way. I had actually been thinking about picking up the Sony 10-18 f/4, but this makes a good proposition.
I looked at your review of the Tamron 10-20 (other review) and using screen shots of your bank note resolution tests (from both reviews), I see that the differences for Tamron and Fuji (in the other review) were not that dramatic. But for the Sigma (in this review) vs Tamron or Fuji, I see DRAMATIC difference in corner resolution in the wide angle, in favor of Sigma. (I paid special attention to the area behind the queen's head in the corner. In the Sigma, the verticle lines making up the background are clearly seen while for the Tamron and Fuji they are smeared. This was so different I thought they were different banknotes, but the serial numbers matched, so not different.) So it looks like I will go with the Sigma, but make sure not to get it wet. :-)
I was going to replace my Sony 18-135 for the Sigma 18-50 2.8; but now I'm thinking perhaps I should buy this instead to cover the 10-18 range and keep the Sony 18-135 one! Even though it's a f3.5-5.6 hmmm. Thoughts? Thanks for this great review!!!
Nice review, this lens is impressively small. I don't understand Sigma's thing of only putting a rubber seal on the lens mount but not elsewhere around the lens, what's the point? They've been doing that on many lenses recently, and on a lens that seems tailor made for landscape photography out in the field, it's a very strange omission.
Hi there! Great video! We’ve been using the Sony kit lens 16-50 for our music videos and are not dissatisfied at all but was wondering is this lens would give enough of a noticeable quality jump for shooting in lower light situations? What do you think?
But shooting at f/22 is major diffraction territory, so you would have to do some compositing with a larger aperture shot. Why these companies can't use straight aperture blades on a lens that is not designed for bokeh anyway is beyond me.
I seen both of your reviews on sigma 10-18 and 16-28. I'm shooting on S1h. Which lense would you recommend out of those two?? Looking forward to your reply!
This is far from perfect, but it might have to be my ultra-wide choice due to the Samyang AF 12mm prime being a little too unrefined at this time. At $600, it would be the most expensive of my 6 Sigma contemporary lenses. My collection would be: 10-18, 18-50, 16, 23, 30, 56.
im torn between this or touit 12/2.8. hows this compare to touit12? price secondhand touit half the price of this lens bnib. and yes budget for my apsc xt30 is an issue.
Gran trabajo, por favor, para un usuario de Fujifilm, xt3, cuál es más recomendable en cuanto a calidad de imagen, este Sigma o el fujinon 10-24? Muchas gracias!
Help me understand. Who is the costumer for this lens. Less than 2x zoom so most cameras will have enough megapixels to make digital crops. Sony 11mm f1.8 gives more light.
