    At first I thought it was an APSC lens, but quickly realized it was for Full Frame.
    On APSC the zoom range would be a boring and lackluster but on FF, it becomes much more interesting although not unique.

    Did you mention that it has a fully internal zoom? IMO that's the best part. I've been waiting for Sigma to drop an alternative to the 16-35 GM though and this focal range just doesn't cut it for me. Looks like a great lens but 35mm is my absolute favorite so I'll just stick with the 20mm 1.8 for now.

    One suggestion for lens tests, is maybe you could do a field curvature test similar to how Ted from Art of Photography does! It would be especially useful for these ultrawide lenses but I think it would be useful for all lenses. I like how you guys do your corner sharpness focused in the corners, but field curvature could tell more about edge sharpness when you’re focused on the center for those of us too used to focus and recompose, or for architecture/art photography. Otherwise, excellent review like always :)

    • @begr_wiedererkennungswert
      @begr_wiedererkennungswert 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      From what I've seen (owning the Tamron), the Sigma might be a little bit sharper, or have a little bit more small detail punch, colors are more neutral, Bokeh at the wide end is a bit better. I like the Sigmas washed out but big sun-stars.
      The Tamron is just a little bit smaller and lighter with a little bit better close up ratio - and it has a 67mm filter thread, which is practical for me. A little bit less vignetting, I'm not sure about the distortion, I think both are not great in these areas.
      If you own a high resolution camera, I'd buy the Sigma. If you have 24 Mpix and want to save money, I'd buy a used Tamron 17-28mm.
      Hope there will be more comparison videos soon.

    Why always review the L-mount version? Sure I do see people with L-mount Sigma lenses once every two-three years, but the majority of the customer uses the E-mount version. The beep-beep single autofocus on L-mount doesn't really tell how the lens perform in terms of autofocus.

      Sigma tends to focus its first production runs on L-mount, since that's the system it's part of, so it's the L-mount samples that are typically available first. A few years ago it would be E-mount first, then before that, Canon EF mount.
