@@Loco-um4qv I actually went with the Canon 10-18mm. The more reviews I watched convinced me it was better for video because of the image stabilization, and quieter autofocus. I actually use it a lot for video now. I'm very happy I bought it over the Sigma.
There is no substitution for Sigma 8-16 on APS-C cameras.. and the same applies for Sigma 12-24 for fullframe. Btw on Pentax or Sony even the Sigma 8-16 is stabilized.. by body. EX on sigma is reserved for high-grade lenses aimed on professional photographers and die-hard users... even my 50-500 bigma is EX DG. And filter size of 8-16 is not 72mm. Just the lens cap has this diameter, but you need much bigger square filter with holder or circular at least 90mm big and hold it manually in front of lens...
Sigma might claim that the EX series is pro-grade, but it really isn't. It might have been in a distant past, but these lenses are not weather sealed, the build quality is decent, but nothing to rave about, and optically they range from good to very good, but hardly outstanding.
AGH331 Totally agree, Sigma's Art and Sport ranges are closer to pro standard. Also they can take circular filters including variable ND filters and even if you used the square or rectangular filters you would still need a filter ring of the specified diameter.
"...a phased plasma rifle in the 40watt range, the UZI 9mm..." sorry but your accent reminded me of that movie scene :D I´m fine with the older SIGMA 10-20mm (4.0-5.6) but also very curious how the 8-16mm will perform, which I recently bought. Thank you very much for your nice vs-review, and think about visiting a doctor soon (it´s a heavy "shaky hands"-syndrome you have).
Very in depth review! Good job, though I would suggest showing some sample pictures earlier on or while you're talking to give a better idea about the actual image quality of the lenses themsleves
Yeah no worries mayte! Love your vid, made me make up my mind about which one to get! The F3.5 one! It's just that your cinematography of the lenses is beautiful and all... hm but make for quite boring subject matter to be blunt. I enjoy seeing some of your sample pictures and video though, gives a great idea about the lenses, especially video performance! Keep up the good work!
10-20mm f/3.5 EX works on full frame start from 14mm , it's a nice feature. Also photo comparisoin at 6:17 is the older 10-20mm f/4-5.6 not the 10-20mm f/3.5, the 10-20mm f3.5 is the newer lens with better optic performance.
Hi there I bought the Sigma 8mm-16mm. I put it on my NikonD3300. However, when I take photos on 8mm I get round photos. The vignetting around the photo is black. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help please?
Do you still have the hood cap on? Because you're suppose to take that off while taking photos (there's a separate hood that attaches the lens cap onto the lens)
SO happy you showed the lenses zooming in and out and focusing, my major concern is the SOUND that noise the Sigma sense makes and I'm planning on using it for Blogging and the one I'm looking at at a used lens store makes that loud noise which is caught on camera. Any other wide angle lens suggestions for my Canon?
Hey Mary, sorry for the delay! Didn't have any sound problems using the Sigma lenses at all. Do you use external mics? As a blogger I highly recommend you to do so. For Canon lenses I recommend you to have a look at the STM lenses - they're focussing vloggers. Regarding the focal length it depends on the scenes you want to record. The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM might be a good starting point. Best wishes!
Hey! I don't know for sure, to be honest as I'm a Canon user. But for the Canon cameras, it's possible to use full-frame (EF) lenses on the APS-C models (EF) - but not vice versa. I assume that this is the same for other camera brands.
with nikon you can use dx on fx and fx on dx, but if you put a dx lens on fx body you will get vignetting. but you can always use the crop option on the fx camera and crop out the vignetting.
@@jarodsown2596 but be carful. It often works and the mount always fit but as far as I remember, FX & DX bodies have various amount of space in front of the mirror/sensor. Some DX lenses in some zoom positions may damage your (FX) camera.
