Sigma 10-18mm Fuji-X vs Fujinon 10-24mm vs Tamron 11-20mm | which is best for YOU? 

Thanks for the extra info 👍🏼 Yes first gen had no markings, mark II does. Cheers!

Oh wow! Good to know - thanks for sharing that

Nice! You will love the size (am sure by now you received it?)

@@cris_photography Hi Cris, I have receuved it and used it. it's a little jewel and sharpness is exceptional in the frame center. Very satisfied. I traded in the 14mm f/2.8 which almost never used

Thanks and that's right, only a gasket at the mount. If I have to be very honest (and I do) I never had any issue with a non-WR lens EVER. I feel like the WR is an important option to some but definitely and by all means not a must. You might be someone that shoots in humid and/or dusty environments but personally for my shooting style that ain't a deal breaker at all. I agree on the first gen Fujinon (which I still own and I used for this review basically) it can be found for a very competitive price on the second hand market. The sigma's overall footprint is unbeatable though and that's its strongest pro vs the other two. Thanks for the comment and take care!

Absolutely. You can also shoot at say ISO 800 instead of 400 and you get your stop back from f2.8 to f4. Unless you’re really close (I advice against it when shooting a human, animal, etc.) the DOF won’t change that much from 2.8 to 4. Or even go 1/60 vs 1/125 and again gain the stop back. How’s f2.8 that big an advantage for event photography vs f4? In my years of experience shooting 3-4 events per week including weddings, corporate and more, I pretty much always used an aperture that starts around f4-5.6 when shooting wide because a) I want more DOF to get everyone in focus as much as possible and b) I use tripods often and can lower my shutter speed as needed (and cameras are better and better in high ISOs).

​@@cris_photographyI do music and events that are often very low light and I feel the big difference in my lenses when shooting f/4. Significantly less light than my f1.4 primes. Obviously that's not 2.8-4 but low light stuff gets tough when you have f4 because you have to crank the iso

Thank YOU for watching and glad it was helpful! 😉

ha ha am sure ! Looking forward to your review ;)

I'm actually looking to compare the Sigma IQ against the Viltrox 13 (where I would just do quick Pano's if I need to go wider) especially on the new 40mp Sensors.

Still very interested in your opinion on the subject, Take ☺️👍🏻

You’re very welcome!

Thanks! I did not try it on a new sensor (still rocking my good old XT2 and XT3) but I believe you on the fact that the first gen is good for those (great lens - shot tens of thousands of photos with it). Take care!

I read that there is nothing new optically on the updated 10-24 so it does not fully resolve the 40mp sensor, but you won't notice without massive cropping and pixel peeping.

"When I put it on the XT5 not so good" Keep in mind that you're not actually losing TOTAL image detail, only detail relative to pixel size thanks to the higher resolution. At the same viewing size you will obviously not lose anything. With that said the Sigma is better optically than the Tamron.

Very true. That said, for real estate you will want to lower your shutter speed due to a smaller aperture (f8-f11) and often you’ll need a tripod to do bracketing which means that OIS or not (in fact on a tripod I disable it) the photos will be stable. For a walk, etc. It’s a very good point though - thanks you for bringing that up!

And with IBIS one can probably leave the tripod at home with any of these lenses.

Hello 👋🏼 it really depends what you’re going for and what look you want. I personally range between 10 and 15mm when I shoot RE but some like to have a closer crop. But the sigma I think is good for most RE shots. Take care!

Very true 👍🏼

Hey 👋🏼 I believe o already answered this comment didn’t I?

Thanks John, what do you mean? The filter thread?

@@cris_photography Heh, I posted a comment under a wrong vide... I'm such a moron... 🙈🤣

🤣😉 no worries

I kinda like the form factor of the Sigma personality and it’d be a big factor in my decision. That’s what I think 😅 Take care!

Hello 👋🏼 for travel I’d go with the sigma 18-50 personally (and if you can the 10-18) these are small and efficient. You might want to check my sigma 18-50mm review on this channel for more info 😉 take care

Hello! Yes it does (being a Fuji camera and not a Canon or Sony the AF isn’t that good). Otherwise if you’re in manual mode and manual focus there won’t be changes of light or focus. And that’s the way I normally film. Cheers!

@@cris_photography Thanks for the reply :) Which camera did you use ? Because AF performance is better in newer cameras. For example XT5 has a much better AF performance than XT3

Thanks! They are - and even cheaper here in Switzerland but unfortunately prices are not the same everywhere 🤦🏻😩 take care

I’d go with the Fuji personally - but depends on your needs. Cheers

@@cris_photography that's what I'm leaning towards. Thanks.

Because 8 goes under 10 which is the minimum of the 3 and 16 is under 18 which is under the max of the 3. The 8-16 really is an Astro photography lens (can’t see another reason to buy such a huge lens - never even considered that lens really). Also the size is more that’s twice the heaviest lens of the bunch!

Thanks for the message
