- I take a look at the Sigma 10-20mm 3.5 - a lens made for aps-c sensors - and see how it performs on a full frame camera. You might be surprised!
Do you use aps-c / crop lenses on full frame? Do they work or are they a bit crap? Let me know below!
I use it on my Nikon D610 fullframe... works well. If I am seeing correctly here, the most shots were taken with wide open aperture, goig down to A 5.6 and more gives more sharpness to the pictures.
Ah yes, of course!
That 15 mm shot with the sushi chef actually looks better with edge vignetting. It draws your eye right to the chef.
Yeah I like vignette usually - very unusual for me personally not to want to draw the eye to the centre of an image. The same with the Sigma 18-35mm - really nice vignette
S Tra Fortunately I have a Nikon D 800. So if I really want the 10° I can put it on crop sensor
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Liked & subscribed.
I agree, this does work. I have a FF Sony A850 and this Sigma 10-20mm and you get usable pictures from about 14mm, vignetting is there, but you can use it to draw the eye to certain things. In comparison, my Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 does not work at all on Full Frame.
Just bought one for my full frame Canon 6D. Perfect to pair with my Sigma 24 -105. Great info. Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent! Really pleased the video has been helpful! Might have to keep youtubing!
Hi... So would this work on my old 5D please???
Great video i just purchased this for my Nikon D5200 i'm so excited to use it and i do a lot of street photography and abandoned decay
Good point about Instagram! Especially if you're shooting for a square output, the corners simply don't matter.
if you have this objective, i have a super tip for you. you can use it with a fx camera with teleconverter kenko 1.4x teleplus pro 300 and you have more angle than only the objective and a dx camera. it s work with the kenko but not with the sigma 1.4x (sorry for my bad english).
I tested it with Sony A73 via Adapter it's full frame usable around 14mm
Yes cool - I think my findings were pretty similar! :)
Good video. Can you use it for real estate?
I've one it's one magic lens....
I love it .
Thank you for sharing this. I actually have the Sigma 10-20 and I’m a bit worried since I wanted to buy a Sony FF and would still want to use my Sigma. At least now I know that I still can.
Thanks for letting me know it's been helpful - will do a video on the Sigma 18-35mm soon
A question about the Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 lens: When attached to a mirrorless camera via a dumb adaptor, meaning the lens isn't communicating with the camera, do you know what aperture the lens defaults to? I'm assuming f3.5, but I wonder is it perhaps the last aperture you were using when you had the lens on a camera that could electronically communicate with it?
Hey so not sure exactly but my guess would be that it is as you said, defaulting to 3.5 makes sense. I assume it'll still to whatever was the last aperture used.
@@itsbwfilm Okay, thanks for the answer.
Great pictures, and thank you for this video! I have one of these gems, and it gives amazing results on any DX Nikon. I litterly just purchased a fullframe Nikon D700 and waiting for it to arrive. I've been wondering how this would work on the fullframe camera, and now I'm even more excited to try it out.
Ah cool, let me know how you find it
Good info. I'm going to hopefully be trying the original slower Sigma 10-20 on my 6D soon.
Hi! Do you buy it? How was the lens on your camera? I've 6D too, but I'm not sure to buy the lens.
@@santitommasi5933 Hi. I bought a slower Sigma 10-20 4-5.6 on ebay. The one I bought unfortunately turned out to be decentred (one side of the image much less sharp than the other - not uncommon with this lens), but before I returned it, I did try it out and posted some full size examples to my Flickr account. It did work fairly well, and not dissimilarly from how the 3.5 version looks here. I got the least vignetting at 14mm. There was quite a lot of purple fringing and black areas and reduced quality near the edges at 10mm. My conclusion: if it hadn't been decentred, it was not otherwise totally useless on the 6D, but I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of money on one!
I wonder if this applies to canon as well
Is it mountable with Sony ZV-E10 camera ?
I have this lens and on an APSC camera it is brilliant. On FF it is only usable at 15-20 mm, but I found out my Sony A99 automatically detects this as an APSC lens and so drops to about 12MP. Better to get a Sony/Minolta 20mm for FF.
Hey! Of course, definitely purchase a full frame lens for full frame. Just wanted to point out for people who may already have it not to write it off on full frame - can be a fun one!
Your camera doesn't have an option to force itself in full-frame mode ? On my Pentax K-1 II I can.
@@madbrainDotCom The A850 has an option in the menu to set APSC capture to On/Off, but the A99 has only Auto/On. Seems Sony left out another option on the A99. Fortunately I still have my A850.
Hi, the AF works with FTZ adapter on Nikon Z?
No idea sorry. I guess sensor coverage will be same as this though?
you used this on a sony a7 iii, how well did autofocus work? did you need to modify lens to work? and what adapter did you use? and what lens mount was the lens in video? cheers
Hey! Autofocus was fine - however I don't have any native lenses to compare it to sadly. Perhaps it'll be a bit slower than native? I use the Sigma mc-11 or the Metabones Smart Adapter V - I forget which but tend to use both. All my lenses are EF.
Hey guys, can't find info about this version for Canon? Would it fit a full frame canon camera? Or a speed booster for the m50?
Hey so this is the Canon EF mount version I used - amzn.eu/d/2lczfBx
Has the Sony camera then has an EF mount?? I am sorry, sir, I am lost when it comes to Sony! :) @@itsbwfilm
@@penkatadrums you need an ef to e adapter
@@itsbwfilm awesome, thanks!!
Sir thnq for Detail information...
Can i use this lens for video?
Yes of course you can. Not sure how autofocus will work though if you're after that sort of thing.
In other words it is same fov on wide end and short at narrow end.
Yeah pretty much. 20mm on FF is about the same as 10/12mm on the APS-C sensor. Ish.
Hi can I use this for my a6600.
nikons 35 1.8 dx - in 1.2x crop mode its about 40mm and is brilliant.
i needed this looking to upgrade to full frame, is there any way to use a tellaconverter or something to us the full range?
I don't think so no..
@@itsbwfilm Thanks. im looking into getting rid of my d3400 and getting the d800 to go full frame and right now the sigma is the favorite lens i have.
cool vid, I currently shoot APS-C (Nikon) and I have the 50-100 1.8 which is awesome and considering getting the 18-35 1.8, but I am possibly going to go full frame next year. Should I invest in the 18-35 or save and get FF glass when I upgrade?
If you know you're getting an FF camera I'd personally wait and get FF glass. The 18-35mm is totally useable on FF from about 24-35mm. I'll try to do a video about it if that's useful?
very helpful video, i mostly do wedding photography , i use 6dmarkii and i am looking for a wide angle lens that's quite affordable, any advice?
I shoot real estate photography. I've been using the Canon 10-22mm adapted to my Sony a7 and a7r3. I'm seeing more softness to the edges than before so I'm looking for a replacement. The Canon lens is an aps-c as well but the Sonys automatically adapt for it and I don't get the vignetteing at 10mm like you showed in this video. Do you have yours set to automatically adapt as well?
Hey! No the images in this video were not set to crop / aps-c mode, this review talks about using the lens in full frame 👌
@@itsbwfilm Gotcha, thanks. Yeah, that gets confusing with the Sonys. Appreciate the reply.
Is this lens ok to use on a film camera like the Canon EOS Rebel G?
I have a question: Would you purchase the Sigma lens or a Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 D AF IF ED Lens? Right now on eBay, both are about the same price.
I'm not sure about the Nikon lens (I don't have any) bur regardless of my video, if you're buying a lens for a full frame camera, definitely go for a full frame lens.
Thanks for this. Very useful. So i have in my basket right now a Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens AND a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Lens for Canon...And now im considering replacing the EFS lens for the lens you have just talked about as i want lenses that can work with 2 new cameras that i hope to buy. Firstly the c100 mkii and then the 5D mkii (just because i want a full frame camera that can take good stills) Will the lens you've mentioned work with both these cameras for both photography and video? Are there any lenses ive mentioned above that is not compatible with my cameras? (Novice filmmaker here still trying to figure it all out!)
Hey! So the EF-S is a crop lens, it will only work on the crop sensor cameras. The Sigma 18-35mm is also a crop sensor lens. Whilst they will 'work' on your 5D (i.e. they will connect and take photos) they will have a strong, partly unusable vignette. I'd strongly recommend full frame lenses for your 5D - this video is only a "if you have this lens already, give it a try" as opposed to "buy this for your full frame camera". Both will work on your C100 though.
@@itsbwfilm Thank you for getting back to me! So specifically for my C100 mkii, would this sigma lens 10-20mm be a better compliment to the sigma 18-35mm than the Canon EF-S 18-135mm do you think? Im really looking for lenses that give me good wide/mid/close up range for video/camera but will also work well together across say one filming project.
Does anyone know if this lens works on a 35mm film camera, or would it be pretty much the same as a full frame camera?
If you can find a way to mount it then it would work on a 35mm camera pretty much the same as it does on full frame - they are the same size after all.
Do you use mc-11 as adapter converter lens? How about possibility to take video? Does afc working with this lens?
I have the mc-11 and the Metabones smart adapter - lens works on both with autofocus for stills. I've not used autofocus with video with this combo (this is mainly a stills camera for me - i shoot video on URSA Mini and therefore only ever use manual focus)
@@itsbwfilm would you please to test th af option for video on a7III with mc-11? I used sigma 18-35 it works perfectly on that lens, I need another wide option with 10-20mm too since have seen your review with sony camera.
what adapter did you use?
Some with mc11 and some with metabones, doesn't make a difference really
Usable on FX d750? Not crop mode?
my sigma 10-20 f3.5 worked @ 14mm onwards on my Nikon D750
how is the sharpness in the corners in 16mm? Can you send me some large size file in my email?
@@joelsonsoares2359 hi Joel .... give me your email ok - i send the pics - i will take fresh pics and send you
If you go to f6 or f8 does it reduce the effect or still clipped edges at 10-12mm?
thanks for the video. it's the information that I was looking for. if it's a sigma 10-20 F4-5.6, I think it will be the same result!!
have you found it out? I'm also interested on buying the F4-5.6 version.
Thanks:)
No, actually the 10-20 f4 - f5.6 vignettes at all focal lengths in full-frame mode.

So does it work with MC11?
Yes
Is it compatible with Sony A6400 ?
You will need an adapter since there sadly isn't one made for the E-Mount. Do note tho that autofocus almost always is way worse with adapter so keep that it mind if you need good AF.
Use an aspect ratio of 16:9 and vignetting will almost disappear, and the wide angle can be made even wider, for example 13-14 mm . It's even better to do the crop on a computer.
Yes, of course! Nice tip 😊
@@itsbwfilm You can also use other aspect ratios (16:10 , 4:3 , 1:1 or free ) to remove vignetting and not spoil the picture, and also close the aperture, for example to 8-10.( sorry , Google translator )
How about eyes focus
That's an adapter question I think, but works fine
On Full frame it's about 15-30mm
What do you mean? It's a 10-20mm lens.
@@itsbwfilm It's not a full frame lens unfortunately, it's for APS-C mounts meaning on FE it crops into super 35, you loose a lot of quality and a lot of mm.
@@calebvanriper1775 yes that's what the whole video is about - lol. It's an aps-c lens, 10-20mm, but the video shows how bad the lens actually performs if used on a full frame camera, just in case people have it lying around or are upgrading from aps-c and want to know how the lens works. As stated in the video it is useable from about 15mm-20mm if you need to use it, and it's still a 10-20mm lens - not sure where you get the 15mm-30mm from...?
