I mean, I know the latter is APS-C only, but for those (like me) planning to keep on that format for the next couple of years, what's the kicker in using this lens? Better price (I suspect not so, because of the increased image circle)? Better build quality (I guess the Sigma is better)? Less light falloff on the edges (I suppose that's also true)? Different color rendition? Slower auto-focus?<BR/>I mean, you refer "this lens is a great backup to my Canon 10-22mm", so this is your wide-angle second choice, right?<BR/>In the end, I guess I have such a long way to go in order to get my sensibility over "wide-angle prone" locations improved. Your ability to capture the environment and the mood of the scenes you're in is just breath-taking!<BR/>Cheers from Portugal!

I have been considering a Canon 17-40 or 16-35 to round out my wedding coverage gear (currently have the 24-70 and the 70-200, as well as the 15mm fisheye) -- would you recommend this lens over the Canon wide angles?<BR/><BR/>Thank you!Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560087350846953653noreply@blogger.com
