Hello!
I'm looking for a good, affordable ultra wide angle lens.
I've been going back and forth between the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 and the Canon 17-40mm f/4 L.
It seems obvious to get the L...BUT, here's what I've been thinking
Sigma: $425 used, $465 new
Canon: $645 used, $789 new
about a $200 difference
Sigma: 10-20mm
Canon: 17 -40mm (would it really give me that ultra wide angle I'm looking for? 7mm more seems like a big difference...)
Sigma: f/4-5.6
Canon: f/4
Is there a big difference here? I would probably stick to the widest angles...so wouldn't the sigma be better since it it goes as wide as 10mm rather than 17mm? The F stop would be 4 for both.
Does the "L" and Canon brand make a $200 dollar difference in addition to it not being as wide as the sigma?
I feel like the Sigma would work better for me, because I really to get those ultra wide shots...that 10mm is really appealing...but then again, the Canon and L thing is keeping me from really making a solid decision.
Any of you have experience with either lens?? How is focusing, speed, and clarity?
Would appreciate any feedback! Thanks.
