Re: calling Mr fizzwheel or anyone with DSLR knowledge
MattCo, if you were a Canon man and had the option of a Canon 10-22 or Sigma 10-20, which would you choose? I'm after a wide angle for the 40d but can't make my mind up which to go for...

Re: calling Mr fizzwheel or anyone with DSLR knowledge
I had some Canon gear for a while... The short of it is I dont know because I have never used either. I have used the Sigma 12-24 in F mount (I bought it to give away as a Christmas present) and that is a good lens and one which I would not hesitate to recommend.
Just a thought about the ultra-wides. They are not that easy to use at the wide end due to curvature so would suggest something like a 12-24 as a more usable range. You could search the dpreview forums for a range of responses. Cheers Last edited by MattCollins; 11-12-09 at 04:24 AM. |

Re: calling Mr fizzwheel or anyone with DSLR knowledge
Well with it being a crop body, I'm looking for that extra width as it should give it a theoretical length of around 16mm. The curvature is actually something I'm looking to exploit so want that extra 2mm

Re: calling Mr fizzwheel or anyone with DSLR knowledge
Fair enough as long as you have an idea of what you want and what you're getting in to.

Re: calling Mr fizzwheel or anyone with DSLR knowledge
Bit early. I had a pm asking me to leave it alone to hopefully throw you off the camera scent just before my last post. Bless her merry heart. I hope that it works for you.
