pubblicata da Juza September 23, 2011

Pros: Angle of view, sharpness, good price-performance ratio, AF and zoom internal

Cons: Diaphragm is not bright

Opinion: I used it for a long time 12-24 on fullframe, and now that I switched mainly to APS-C (Canon 7D), I am very satisfied with his equivalmente APS, Sigma 8-16mm. The image quality is slightly better than the 12-24 first version, thanks to the newer building, it has a good sharpness across the frame. A 8mm angle of field is really extreme, ideal for creative photos, while zooming towards the 16mm compositions can be made a little more restricted. The build quality is very good, the AF is fast and quiet. You can not mount filters, but I personally do not consider it a problem. Overall, I think it is the best available wide-angle for APS-C cameras!

pubblicata da Simonespe September 24, 2011

Pros: the sharpness 8mm ... ... excellent construction

Cons: dim ... no filters ...

Opinion: I took this lens mainly for the focal length .... is the true wide angle aps-c .... seemed impossible to achieve without compromising a 8mm sigma succeeds ... and great. The lens ... very aspherical does not allow the use of filters .... it's good to know because someone can be a problem .... I use Color Efex Pro 3, and the problem I do not have place ... The excursion is internal and externally the length does not change. A goal that I recommend to all .... between 8mm and 10mm on aps-c there is a world of opportunity in more

pubblicata da Gozilla September 24, 2011

Pros: Construction, AF very fast, price in relation to performance.

Cons: The maximum aperture and lens unusually long for the range of focal lengths.

Opinion: Lens definitely recommended because of excellent performance center edge at all focal lengths. Chromatic aberration is virtually absent (at least in my copy). Can not mount filters, but personally I do not think existential, however is its already quite "countered." Sometimes you have to be careful if you keep the cap inserted as slips off very easily.

pubblicata da PietroGuida September 25, 2011

Pros: Clear, strong, and not only 8mm fisheye in the world

Cons: Size a bit 'high aesthetics and bad

Opinion: It 'a big goal for Asp. Despite the extreme wide-angle, has a good quality, is sharp even at the edges, and also has a good autofocus, which is good. Better than that you could hope for. The cost is affordable. The only drawback is the shape a bit 'strange, very long and very convex lens, with the petals of the built-in lens hood and the inability to mount filters. The cover must then be coupled to a cylinder that looks like an extension cord, all very annoying and cumbersome. So the only thing that does not satisfy me is the appearance. If someone is not interested in this aspect, then this goal for him.

pubblicata da Francesco Talin September 27, 2011

Pros: Angle of view, sharpness (high for the focal length and for the price), very good and solid construction

Cons: focal length limited, inability to mount filters

Opinion: Since I took quest'obbiettivo I do are more separated, I would say that really as good as construction and sharpness, but care must be two considerations: 1-L'escursione focal so limited forces you to make a strong focus on the choice to use, you need to focus on the angles of 8-16. Now it is true that the photograph is to be planned and prepared before (especially the landscape) but often you miss the excursion 16-22, which would avoid some change of perspective, even in situations of high light you want to portray two subjects instead of one! Of course you have to consider the price and the fact that less means more quality excursion ... but .... though :-) 2 - inability to mount filters, in my sigma could remedy this problem by building a holder in collaboration with some the Manufacturer filters, because kids are not all genes in PP and not everyone has the time to PP the photos so they are not left marks not to mention the satisfaction you are ready to shoot (nidezza-levels and contrast) is ... significant (at least for me) For the rest is solid, clear and well done .... personalmento recommend it .... it survives everything is not the filter or the zoom range that prevents you from taking pictures.

pubblicata da Okpj October 14, 2011

Pros: angle of view, sharpness, colors, materials, zoom, supplied

Cons: impossible to mount filters, excursion

Opinion: wide angle wider trade offers excellent imaging, excellent sharpness and warm colors. for certain compositions the 16mm can be short and compel a change of lens, also the impossibility to mount filters may prove to be restrictive in landscape photography, that is the one that employs more than all the filters. widely appreciated the zoom mechanism, which pushes back the front lens zooming, so that the built-in hood can be always effective (if not, as in almost majority of zoom on the market, it would work only in the focal more wide-angle). is equipped with an open housing and of a particular system cap that goes to wrap the built-in hood.

pubblicata da Francoia October 15, 2011

Pros: Focal grandalgolare extreme - sharpness - autofocus - internal zoom

Cons: dimensions - front cap of unusual size - low light '

Opinion: Objective very versatile - almost the mountains and use it for almost any occasion (not recommended for portraits!). At last, the reflex sensor FF can enjoy a very wide lens angle shooting. The colors are nice and the sharpness remains constant even at the edges of the frame. Personally I have not noticed great loss of quality '(I am an amateur photographer for many years but recently with digital) and maximum aperture. Clearly diaphragm 8 or more 'results seem even more' effect. The front cap and 'overall dimensions and also the objective and' substance. Virtually no go "undetected", but the length does not vary with the zooming which remains inside. For me highly recommended.

pubblicata da C.salari November 17, 2011

Pros: 8 mm (and I've said it all!)

Cons: Can not be mounted filters - not exceptional resistance to flare

Opinion: An extreme wide-angle high quality. Well built, solid, sharp and with good color rendering. Standard equipment complete with hard case and built-in hood. Fast and silent AF, MF precise and well modulated. Low distortion if valuatata in relation to the angle of 114 ° is obtained. If you want to 8 mm on APS-C there is no alternative. Would highly recommend for landscapes. If someone will sooner or later a solution and mount filters will make it objectively the best wide angle for aps-c. (Canon is lagging behind this time!)

pubblicata da Lucafasolis February 24, 2012

Pros: Angle of view, sharpness, construction, AF, internal zoom

Cons: Little bright flare, inability to mount filters

Opinion: After many doubts, I decided to buy this lens almost two months ago and I am very satisfied. My greatest fear was how clear and I was more than surprised by the quality of this objective: really sharp, an angle of view that allows creative interpretations and breathtaking views, a building for me with a good AF performance even if very often not used with these aims and the Full-Time MF which is very useful instead! We must take the hand with angles of field of this type in order to avoid that the distortion is excessive, with a little training think you can pull out masterpieces! The diaphragm dim certainly does not help for certain types of photography, especially inside if you want to shoot handheld! In conclusion I can say a lens absolutely recommended! Those who love the landscape will not be disappointed!

pubblicata da Davidevet February 25, 2012

Pros: Focal "extreme" in DX-format, high sharpness and distortion well contained, compact size, solid construction, great price compared to what is offered

Cons: Minimum aperture a bit closed.

Opinion: I needed / wanted something shorter than my 12-24 f / 4 Nikkor, and having been able to try along the Sigma 10-20 f/3.5 I opted to push this point even more, in my opinion is superior in everything except that in the maximum aperture to 10-20. A lens that allows prospects exceptional in nature photography and "enter" the situation in the photographic reportage

pubblicata da Salvo.lombardo April 04, 2012

Pros: angle of view, price, af fast and quiet

Cons: no filters, aesthetic

Opinion: I appreciate the clarity and quality of the picture in general. Notable in the center and the edges. The inability to mount filters is a bit 'annoying in certain situations, this makes pp. indispensable, but for me it's not a big deal, and anyway you can get around this with ingenious solutions. It will never be as comfortable as a thread where to attach the filter, but it's worth a try. Add a lens that is quite dark, and may be essential to have a tripod at your mane for night shooting. Not for use in the direct flash unless you also get a light spread throughout the frame. All in all I consider fulfill purchase of this lens a superb investment.

pubblicata da Andreab May 28, 2012

Pros: 8 mm - nitdezza - color-AF - solid construction

Cons: important dimensions - filters can not be used

Opinion: Spectacular this lens, 8mm wide .... I'm really one of the lenses funniest ever. Impresses the sharpness is at the center than at the edges, good AF and also the build quality. It is not a very bright lens but so far I have never felt the lack of more openness, not consider it a problem on a wide angle. Even not being able to use filters to me is not a problem.

pubblicata da Canonenzo August 06, 2012

Pros: A quasi-fisheye accessible to (almost) everyone. It is no small thing! Construction "rocky" already the materials used are worth every penny spent. Remarkable optical quality, confirming all the tests and reviews available. Amazingly quiet and fast autofocus though, playing with the hyperfocal and apertures, is of little use. In short, a goal irreplaceable.

Cons: None (read my review)

Opinion: I was undecided between the Canon 10-22 and the Sigma. Photo from Sicily in Palermo were so kind to test me know about them both and I must say that the first reaction was "ease" of use and low distortion of the Canon and the Sigma the incredible viewing angle, with unexpected perspectives as fascinating . I purchased it after I documented enough and I have to say that, from fanatic paintings, a lens like this can not and must not be missing in the kit of a photographer evolved shots that gives you an 8 mm. you can not even imagine. Where all stop, retreat, curse ... you shots! And sometimes ... squeeze even at 10, 12 mm.! Of course, familiarize yourself with the natural distortion of this point is not a trivial matter - and I admit that at 8 mm. really push - but with a little 'attention nothing is impossible. Obviously, the battlefield of this superwide is landscape photography or urban although I must say that the report does not mind at all: it is easy to perform in environments angusti shots of great visual impact. The goal is too "dark"? Well, I have a 600D that even at ISO 3200 shows no trace of noise (and there is always the PP). Technology has made great strides, the light is no longer a problem, and remember that with this lens, even without stabilizer, we can shoot at 1/15 of a second freehand without any problems. The angle of view is "unsurpassed" except by optical class and category well above the reach of ordinary mortals, we would recommend it to all those who are undecided, and not even think about it any longer! I personally think that all the "against" that can be found for this purpose are set to zero with what you offer. Can not mount filters? There is a PP. The lens is exposed to shock and dust? Just the normal attention and the usual cleaning. And 'heavy? Even a 70-200 2.8 weighs, but we love it! There is no "against" remember that once you've used. Some might argue that 2 mm. do not changeano life? First try, then we'll talk!

pubblicata da Ale Sins August 28, 2012

Pros: 8mm on aps-c, clarity, body, flare, internal focus

Cons: certainly not bright, cartoon, Megillos sigma, only 16mm, no filters

Opinion: excellent lens. I can only quote the various reviews in the various reviews online. footer extreme WideZoom on the market (not the only 8mm fish, 12/13 equivalent) and is probably best for landscapes. very sharp, making test to different diaphragm loses One moment at room temperature, but it comes with no problems at f16. the body is solid, tough nuts to perfection (almost useless than the maf except in close-up), dimenisioni and optimal weight for aps-c and my hands, does not extend. I think stands up well to flare, especially in relation to the focal length and lens protruding. is not bright for indoor photos improvised, but exceptions better cmq a tripod. cartoon much to 8mm TA but I've always considered a characterization, partly because the edges are so 8mm strecciati (the effect may like it or not). dominant yellowish present, correctable in post, inconvenient for when you post-produce more pictures taken with canon and sigma goals together (laziness). to me in any case it did not bother and green landscapes liked the dominant. over time I've heard of limits coming only 16mm, 20 would be better but you can not have everything. not mount filters, a limit to who uses them and for those who would like to try them (one of the reasons why I'm selling), but it is actually on sale for planning a move to FF. Recommended! Absolutely yes (because there is no objective comparable in quality to FF)

pubblicata da Ricky72 September 08, 2012

Pros: Extreme angle, high sharpness and homogeneous color (especially as the sky returns) beautiful, intense but realistic. Despite wide extreme distortion effect is well contained. Focus (the few times that you really need) quick and silent. Building that conveys a sense of solidity.

Cons: The only real drawback (apart from the low light, but what is known already from the start) I think is the closure system (NOT actually closing) of the cap absolutely insane. You have to constantly focus otherwise the piece in front of slips and falls easily.

Opinion: In my perspective is exceptional. It offers beautiful outlook that "dramatize" the scene. E 'already razor sharp wide open even if the maximum homogeneity is achieved at f8. For more once diaphragmed to f8 you'll hardly need to worry about focus. Even otherwise mundane photos made with this goal become suggestive.

pubblicata da Mirko Frattani September 16, 2012

Pros: Af, construction, 8mm. price of used.

Cons: TA aperture f4, 5

Opinion: Optical amazing, leaving the only factor of its 8mm I find it a stratospheric optical, very well defined and has nothing to envy to any other angle pushed. can not be mounted filters but it is not a problem as far as the polarizer, one can do very well without because it gives a quite a nice blue sky. with the sun in the frame of the flare is quite remarkable .... just keep the sun out of the frame to fix the problem. as regards the distortion it is very subjective, if it is perfectly in line with the subject distortion is very limited. but if you are not in line distortions begin to become very heavy if you exacerbate certain shots, but I think it's a positive side because it gives you the opportunity to make creative photos. the only flaw is the aperture f4, 5 which in normal situations is not a problem but at least one night in the photos f3.5 would have been useful. In conclusion, it is a perspective that I highly recommend (and I have tried a wide-angle lens than the sigma 10-20 canon 10-22), also saw the price of used. do not recommend it strongly to those who love night shots ... in this case, the tokina is definitely the best choice.

pubblicata da Marmat January 28, 2013

Pros: Strong, sharp and 8 mm give a unique angle

Cons: not very bright, inability to montarci filters

Opinion: Good quality despite the focal length so impressive; suffers a little in low light but I exploited mostly for photos of paesaggi.rnNon easier to manage prospects coming to 8mm, surely a goal to take the mano.rnOttima construction and solidity , silent and precise autofocus quickly make it an excellent product qualità.rnrn

pubblicata da Bobbo February 13, 2013

Pros: Angle of enormous although not fish-eye, full time mf, f good

Cons: I would say only the diaphragm is not bright

Opinion: I believe that there is wide APSC better angle of view, build quality, af, image quality, all these things put together create a goal really super, super recommended! to 16 mm allows you to capture virtually any landscape, whether urban or natural, and 8 mm, the only thing you can do is create and sperimentare. only thing to be careful when you mount the camera on the tripod, not to enter the field tripod legs, something more than simple if you are distracted for a moment, given the disproportionate angle of the lens.
