This is one of Sigma’s ‘flagship’ lenses – an ultra wide-angle lens for APS-C cameras, with a snappy maximum aperture of f/3.5 throughout its entire zoom range. That means it could be quite flexible for low-light shooting and video work. But does it have the optics to match up to its ambitious design?

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens for Canon
(111)
I bought this lens Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC HSM Lens – Nikon AF, unlike your sort of negative view on its performance I find the lens to be great. I looked at other reviews and all support the excellent performance, perhaps you dropped yours and it was faulty.I don’t think I will pay any attention to your other reviews, very different results from you, using a Nikon D5200 and D3200.
Autofocus on this lens will not work with Nikon D5300.
Can i do Astrophotography with this lens?
Does this lens fit canon 700d
I found it for 300$ with 3 hoya filters should I get it?
Have got optical stabilizer?? Its necesary?
Between this and the Tokina 11-20, which lens do you personally prefer? You see, I’m on the hunt for a good ultra wide angle zoom lens. But all the affordable options out there seem to present quite a wealth of tradeoffs. So far, this lens and the Tokina 11-20 come the closest to what I’m looking for. Though their optical issues, which I’ve observed in my own tests as well, are still troubling.
Do you think there will be an Art version of this lens?
I can find the sigma 10-20 for $400 or the 8-16 f/4.5 for $525. Is it worth the extra $125 for the 8-16? I will be doing a lot of video with either lens.
what wide angle lenses you would recommend for d7200 dx body
Wich is a better wide angle? the samyang 14mm or this?
that corners softness looks like lens defect, not regular i guess
can the autofocus noise be fixed with a shotgun mic or no??? recommend for vlogging?
So this or Tokina11-20?
Will the noise be picked up by a shotgun microphone (e.g rode video mic) mounted on a DSLR?
As i am thinking of using this for videography, but the vibration feels pretty strong/loud which might be captured.
Interesting video once again.
I am actually after a wide angle lens, and until you mentioned that this is not exactly ideal for stills work, I was keen.
So then, what would you suggest?
I need to work indoors in tight spaces with something that gives me f/2.8 . I too use canon 70d . Although looking at your images, this sigma f/3.5 was very decent except at the edges…Something which is only noticable when zooming…
As always, eager to see your response!
Christopher I’m a long time subscriber plz help should I get this or Tokina 11-16 I need WI Angle lens
hi Christopher, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and reviews on lenses. I have recently bought the canon eos 70d with one kit lense, now looking to buy a zoom lense or a wide angle not sure though which one would be best to buy first to starting building my kit, your reviews are very helpful in helping me decide, you have such a clear, calm voice and excellent training skills, . Thank you and please continue to share your expertise. 🙂 Catherine
Would this be good for photos and videos at night on a 700d?
Would this be a good vlogging lens???
good
Hi Chris! how you compare this Sigma with the new Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD…?.Thanks.
This or the Tokina 11-20? What other option can you suggest for Nikon?
Is this lens compatible with Nikon D7100? Thanks..
Will this work on a nikon d810?
I am debating whether getting this version or getting Canon’s 10-18mm STM lens. Which do you prefer?
