Want to buy a 10-20mm-(22mm) lens.
Sigma or Canon. Price isn't really a factor here. Viewing shots taken with both lens on DPC - seems both look wonderful. Any opinions?
Thanks for your help.

Just got mine a couple of weeks ago (Canon)... love it!!!
From what I've researched, the Canon seems to be the way to go.... virtually zero barrel distortion!

If price is not an issue, Canon is the obvious choice. As Lee said, the barrel distortion is negligible, and also the lens is remarkably flare-free when shooting into the sun, very important on an ultra wide angle lens.

| Can't say anything about the Sigma since I've never used it, but I really like my Canon. Nice sharp little lens there. |

Just got my Canon 10-22 from another DPC'er here a few months ago and I love it. What a great lens. Really nice clear pictures and I love that its a really wide lens I get alot more picture which is what I really needed and wanted. Really cant say nothing bad about it.

| I love my Canon, but have seen some good stuff from the Sigma here. I'm still partial to the Canon though. |

| I have been using the canon lens for over an year...it's simply awesome and opens up my 20D for true wide angle photography. |

I haven't shot with the Canon, but I have been extremely happy with my Sigma 10-20... I chose it because it will work on any of the Canon APS-C sized sensor cameras. It's not limited to the Camera bodies that support EF-S lenses.

Just something to consider: If you're ever moving to a full frame body (Canon 5D, 1D, or a film camera) you may want to consider that neither of those lenses (both being EF-S) will work. The Sigma 12-24 will.
Perhaps not important to you, though.
Edit: John - it looks like what you're saying is the Sigma 10-20 would work on a 5D?
Hmm - it seems some folks express concern about using the Sigma 10-20 on a FF body, but people are doing it.

You can use the Sigma lens on a FF body since it just has a standard EF mount but it cause severe vignetting at all focal lengths. The Canon lens will not even mount to a FF body since the design of the lens would cause the mirror to smash into the back of the lens. The Sigma lens has a standard mount, as said before, but casts a much smaller image circle.

I have the canon and love it. f3.5 is great. Used it to capture Aurora in Alaska.
