Canon EF-S 10-22mm VS Sigma 10-20mm - Which one to buy?
I'm going to buy one of these lenses for my Canon 30D:
- Canon Zoom Super Wide Angle EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Autofocus Lens - for $675 OR - Sigma Zoom Super Wide Angle 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Autofocus Lens - for $500 So far I've only bought Canon as i rely on their anti-shake technology, however neither of these lenses have it built in - so I'm considering buying my 1st Sigma lens (as it almost 200 bones cheaper). Could anyone make suggestions as to which lens they prefer and why? I would especially like to hear of testimonials from one or both lenses if possible. thanks so much, dave |

I'd like it even better if I could use it on my 5D, bought a year and a half later. I believe the Sigma (pretty good reviews IIRC) would fit the 5D, and might have saved me buying yet another lens I really like, the Canon 17-40. -- Frank ess |

It will fit physically but you must set it to 15mm to cover the full frame - which it can do. Anything shorter and you get a circle or cut-off-corners circle picture. Anyone intended to buy a 5D should consider the Sigma 12-24mm instead. David |

Canon EF-S 10-22mm VS Sigma 10-20mm - Which one to buy?
The optical differences between lenses in this focal range from different
manufacturers are not great. Hence I can see no reason to buy the Canon over the Sigma. These lenses, particularly at the wide end, are not that easy to use because of both distortion inherent to the focal length and the linear distortion of the lenses themselves. If you have a lens in the 18-55/70 range, once you get the ultra wide compare the two lenses at equivalent focal lengths. You may be surprised by what you see. |

Check out the Tokina 12-24 F/4.
Very sharp. You don't need IS for these wide of a lens. Steve "Dave" wrote in message oups.com...

I'd never tried it, actually, since I am such a scairdy-cat about all those flipping and twisting things going on inside, and I thought I remembered there was potentially disastrous stuff in the combination. Still, the 17-40 works good in the range I need. I neglected to post the URLs of my wide-angle demo albums, illustrative but not definitive: http://www.fototime.com/inv/72B40D6067A68E5 includes a link to some 20D items, as well. http://www.fototime.com/inv/CD6607D885B4B82 opens in a 17-40 5D shot that was used with three other similars in a tri-fold brochure, includes a link to a couple more 10-22 images. -- Frank ess |

I'm a little confused here but I think he was talking about the Sigma. The EF-S lenses will hit the mirror on anything but EF-S series cameras I thought?
