Sigma 10 -18 F2.8 DC DN - Best Wide Angle APS-C Zoom

[@jntechreview]

Wow my dream come true! I wanted a wide zoom so bad, but sony f4.0 was a turnoff and tamron was a bit too big and heavy for my liking. This is so perfect

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Perfect for you!! And me 😂

[@TheCoolFactor]

Feels like birthday! I love the 18-50 F2.8 with the ZV-E10 / A6700 combo and now THIS comes out?! Wow, I almost pulled the trigger on a 16mm F1.4 last week but this one takes the cake, even if it is a little slower. Way to go Sigma! Seems like they now offer the best affordable APS-C lenses lineup on the market.

[@TimKeh]

Thanks for the Sigma 10-18 f2.8 vs Sony 11mm f1.8 comparison - exactly what I needed to see!

[@jhirse3547]

Farewell, Sony 11mm f1.8, I barely knew you. Welcome, Sigma 10-18mm f2.8, great to have you here!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@markwiemels]

The A6700, with these small sigma lenses, will probably be my new travel setup. Such a great combo.

[@HanginWithTheYoungs]

I agree!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Such an awesome travel setup!!

[@anthonyj_film_photo]

Yes! Definitely.

[@mattcarlson12]

I love my 18-50! Can't wait to get this 10-18! Great review Mark!

[@FreeLensImage]

Finally we have it. I wanted 10-18 f4 to come f2.8. And now we have. Ill purchase as fast as ill get money for it :D

[@xhenriquefps]

I guess the best options are either this lens of the tamron 11-20 f2.8. That’s a comparison I think someone should do, similar prices and specs. Another great lens by Sigma, keep them coming and let Mark always review them first! 😁

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’m sure that review will be done by many (I’m gonna try too -ha)

[@JayJay-he9bk]

The 11mm 1.8 Sony is better

[@saifaldin_]

If you have neither (and looking to buy brand new), go for the Sigma. The Tamron is good, but it has a different color cast (Sony and Sigma are similar and more neutral). Also, the Tamron is quite a bit chunkier.

[@gamadrid]

I am asking myself the question if I should buy the sony 11m or the sigma zoom. Some help?@@JayJay-he9bk

[@nathanealhuley1644]

Definitely the perfect addition to my A6700/FX30 kit.

[@jawbfl]

Got the sigma 18-50 for the ZV E10 and it's a fantastic combo, I was planning to start buying the 1.4 trio but now I have to reconsider.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Too many choices!!

[@idgafaboutbs]

Same thinking. 16mm 1.4 or this lens for studio recording. Any one?

[@thesaint1517]

Great review on the lens. I have mine coupled with the 6600 and really love the combo. After two days stuck inside the house because of historic snow storm in Denver, Colorado, I am ready to go out and do some shooting some urban and landscape pics with it. Thanks for sharing!

[@nyohaku]

This might not work for everybody, but I like using the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 with the clear image zoom in the ZVE10, plus “zoom with the feet” technique. A bit chunkier than Sigma the lens but the results are very nice and I get an aperture ring.

[@jacksonleo3937]

Hi mark, thanks for this video. Im planning to buy one myself but I would like to ask for your opinion first. I mostly focus on product review videos (unboxing , showcasing and demo). I was wondering between sigma 16mm and sigma 10-18mm. Which would be a better choice? 16mm (1.4f) has better aperture, but i cant deny the diversity and convenience of a zoom lens. Ive been using sony 11mm f1.8 but it just too wide for some of my shots. So, between aperture and convenience. Is zoom lens a better choice for my kind of work? Cheers

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - a zoom is really helpful. I usually use a zoom for product shots because I never know exactly what I'll need

[@ronaldlee3537]

This zoom is a full stop faster than my Sony 10-18 f/4 lens. :O

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I know!! But the Sony will have better stability

[@bradl2636]

The Sony works on full frame from about 13mm to 18mm.

[@charbelLife]

Hey mark, another great video, I’m a beginner videographer and small enthusiast, started something like 6 Months ago im on the quest of getting the sigma trio (you recommended me a while back) so far I manage to Aquire the 16mm and the 30mm, for my little Zv-e10 here in Brazil stuff like cameras and lens are really expensive, but I feel like I have a good setup going on, buying all the essentials, small little monitor, travel and home tripod, falcon f38 etc… appreciate the content al always and thanks for the affordable tips 💪🏻

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@HanginWithTheYoungs]

WOW, this may go down as the best aps-c lens ever made! Great review!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s up there for sure

[@gers709]

Now we'll wait for the 50-140mm that has been patented by sigma few months ago. And sigma will create new generation apsc trinity lens

[@SilatShooter]

Clearly the match-up is this against the Tamron 11-20mm f2.8. I already own the Tamron, so likely staying with it. And have to say I like having 20mm on the Tamron, nice focal length.

I had the 11mm 1.8 before I upgraded to the 16-35 PZ F4 lens and that small 11mm was such a good aps-c lens i always recommend it! good price used too, this 10-18mm does look promising for some wide angle versatility!

​@@JincoWillYou mean F1.8?

[@Truffle1947]

I did not realise this existed until today. I have been eyeballing the 10-20 sony power zoom as I want something for in my studio which I can remotely zoom and that can give the ability to zoom when I am at events instead of being stuck like the 11mm prime (which I also have) But now I dunno what to do as this lens will be way better in the studio I would just have to lean over to to zoom it. But the f4 10-20 would be better as a really tiny light weight lens for events outside in the daylight. Maybe both? 🤔😏

[@erikalemancreative]

great review thank you!

[@FikretinDunyasi]

Hoi Mark,what a beautiful lens. I am sure you know that 70-200 f2.8 is also coming but you are right:a 50 to 200 would be much better

[@gabithemagyar]

I am dithering between this sigma and the Sony 10-20mm f4 power zoom. Guess I have to decide whether I want a power lens for video or a manual zoom lens for stills photos for my A6700 and ZV-E10. The Sony would pair well with my 18-105 f4 power zoom. and my Zeiss 16-70 F4. F4 is not bad for daytime outside shots or well lit inside shots. The Sigma would pair well with my Sony 16-55 F2.8 G.for lower light situations.. For really low light I switch to f1.8 or f1.4 primes though. decisions ... decisions ... maybe I should just get both ! LOL ;-) They are quite different lenses after all. .

[@tme500ify]

please compare this lens to Sony 15mm prime lens...im still confused which to get for my zve10

[@HagaishiSama]

If your only gonna use the lens at its widest angle then get the Sony E 11 F/1.8 or the Sony E 15 F/1.4. But if you think you're going to need that coverage all the way up to 18mm then get this seeing how it's a F/2.8 so you can take in more light to handle them low light situations. But always remember that primes will always be sharper corner to corner compared to zoom lenses. That's the trade off

[@FRY_FPV]

So I got the 11mm f1.8 Sony. I'm not sure why you would prefer this one still after watching the whole video. Could you do a follow up video contrasting pro/cons of both lens? 11mm and 10mm, to me it's very close.... right? I'm sure there's more to it and I don't have the whole information. Thank you. Oh and I have to check the in body camera lens correction because I'm not familiar with this. I'm still a newbie and learning everyday

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The Sony 11 is better if you’re only going to use the Sigma at 10 or 11. But the Sigma is more versatile and can zoom in so a lot of people will prefer this for photo and video

[@HagaishiSama]

The sony 11 f/1.8 is the way to go. But I'm learning working with other photography professionals that a lot of people and some are even calling it semi lazy where they rather have a zoom lens that covers different focal lengths then using a number of sharp primes and they have to move forward or back. Don't get me wrong convenient zooms are nice so that you don't have to buy that many lenses is great but I was taught on Primes I will always tell someone that the best wide angle lens for aps-c offer full-frame Sony is the Sony E 11f 1.8

[@NagaReview]

Could you please compare low light performance for sony 11mm and sigma 10-18 lenses..

Can you do a Comparison with Sigma 16mm PLEASE? I'm not sure if I should take this one Sigma 10-18 or Sigma 16mm. I want it mainly for a studio but using it outdoors would be a nice bonus too. I want to see how much 16mm is better because of f1.4. OR maybe get 16mm and some other lens for 18-70 for outdoor.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I had to send the 18-50 back already - but I can tell you that if you do mainly studio work - the 16 1.4 will be much better. It lets in 4 times the light and you will get a much blurrier background

for vlogging, the Sony works better. it gives you more background separation and is better in lowlight.

[@sean1e100]

Thanks so much for this Mark. My version of this lens landed yesterday. One thing I’m finding on the ZVE10 is that neither active steady shot nor manual focus will work with this lens. Just get a “not compatible” error message. Should I expect that for third party lenses with lil” duggie?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Two things: the sigma can use active steadyshot in video. You may be looking a regular steady shot which means “lens stabilization”. So that will be unavailable on any lens without optical stabilization. The active steadyshot crops in so you will notice it. Sigma can be used in manual focus. You just need to put the camera in manual focus and use the sigma focus ring. Make sure you’re not hitting the zoom rocker. That will give you a not compatible message because that is for power zooms like the kit lens

Hey Mark, would you recommend this for a travelling lens (landscape, buildings, potraits)? I have the ZV-E10 with a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 and 16mm F1.4. I usually bring only 1 lens for travelling and more often with the 18-50 cos it's lighter, less bulky and can somewhat zoom, whereas 16mm usually used for taking pics during gatherings/events. Planning a trip to Kyoto, Japan this year and wondering if this lens would be better than the 18-50 or perhaps I should go 70-200 for the shots on the hill slopes of the scenery/temples

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

this lens would be good for wide shots, things like your 16 and wider which can be great if you are doing a lot of landscapes. but the combo of your 18-50 and 70-200 will give you so many more options

[@Jay-Go]

Mark, wasn't it just about a week or two ago I asked you about a Sigma ultra wide angle lense? Eh? Eh? Now, as someone that's new to the video/camera world, would a f1.4 lense be a little more "universal"? I assume so, but I ask, because it seems in most of the content I've seen on the Viltrox 13mm that the picture gets sharper at f2.0 and up. Is that the case here? Did Sigma think to themselves "why bother with f1.4 when f2.8 will give a sharper image?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s harder to make a zoom lens that is small and keep a low aperture. It’s an engineering marvel to do 2.8 at this size. 1.4 is virtually impossible to do with a zoom lens of any size.

[@Jay-Go]

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would use the 10-18 and see if that suits you. you can actually try full frame mode and just zoom in until the vingette disappears. The Sony GM lens is of course a better lens, especially in full frame and the stabilization will be better with it but that will cost a lot more.

@@stang8913 Interesting. The copy I had on Saturday was absolutely stunning. Actually sharper than both the Sigma 30mm f1.4 and 16mm f1.4 I owned. Not as sharp as Sony's 11mm f1.8, of course. Maybe the Tamron is better, I don't know. But, undoubtedly, not by any means as worse as you indicate.

Damn, just as I bought the older Sigma 30mm f1.4 this week! Now i really want to go full Sigma and get this one instead of my current Tamron 11-20… for 1 extra mm, is it worth it?? 😅

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The Tamron is still great. No need to switch. But this sigma is SO small.

I am a beginner with a ZV E10, I am into travel videos(not vlogs), portraits, astrophotography and some macro (in that order). Should I get the Viltrox 17-70 f2.8 or Sigma 18-50 f2.8 or (Sigma 16mm+Sigma 56mm f1.4)? Or is there any other lens I could buy?Does catalyst browse work with tamron's image stabilization?

[@jhirse3547]

Buy the Sigma 18-50 f2.8.

[@Democratiser]

Sigma is really making a mark as the master of small and fast (enough) zooms! A lack of lens stabilisation really isn’t a bit issue with IBIS being so good these days in most new cameras especially with wider focal lengths. (Note to self: this lens is a winner… hmmm I’d better get my X-E3 repaired… ).

[@VinayKapoor]

Nice video Mark very detailed 👍

[@TheJonOsborne]

Wow this one looks epic! Thanks for the stellar review, Mark. I was considering the Viltrox 13mm but now this one has me dreaming. Keep being the best so we don’t need the rest! ❤

[@okaro6595]

It is quite nice as it is f/2.8 even at 18 mm so it works also as a general purpose lens with an ultra wide option. I have Canon 11-22 mm and it is f/5.6 at 22 mm, way too slow in the dark even with IS.

I have the Sony FX30 with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. I was considering getting the Sony 11mm f1.8 and use clear zoom image to get some range, but now with this new sigma I'm not too sure...I have the Sigma 16mm f1,4 which is not wide enough for some shots...I know there is a big difference between f1.8 and f2,8...but this lens would be the perfect companion to my 18-50mm f2.8...hmmm

[@gamadrid]

Hello, I am interested in your case, I am in the same situation. I have the Sony 11mm and sometimes I miss the zoom. What did you do?

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

hey there...for now I have not needed an ultra wide lens...I'm not sure the 11mm f1.8 is the one I should get. Maybe is not a very versatile one? I have the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 that I use with my Canon C100 mk2 and I have the Sigma adapter and I have used it but nothing compares to using native lenses for the Sony ecosystem- dunno....I will wait a bit @@gamadrid

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

Wow , you already hold it in hands. Great of you man! Thank you Boss.

[@soothingsoundvideos]

Wow finally a super wide angle zoom lens that’s a 2.8!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Tamron has one too - but this new Sigma would be my pick
