Is Sigma 10-20mm full-frame?

Being a Sigma “DC” (Digital Camera) lens, the Sigma 10-20 f/3.5 has a smaller-than-full-frame image circle designed to work only on APS-C/1.6x/1.5x FOVCF DSLRs. The Sigma’s 10-20mm frames like a 16-32mm lens on a full frame DSLR. Following is an example of the focal length range of this lens.

What is EX DC HSM?

The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM is a wide-aperture photographic lens made by the Sigma Corporation, equipped with Hyper Sonic Motor (abbreviated HSM, Sigma’s trade name for photo lens focusing technology using ultrasonic motor). It shipped with a removable petal-type lens hood (62mm diameter).

What’s considered wide angle lens?

A lens is considered wide-angle when it covers the angle of view between 64° and 84° which in return translates to 35–24mm lens in 35mm film format.

What is canon 10 18mm used for?

The Canon EF-S 10-18mm IS lens is good for shooting landscapes, architecture photography, groups of people and interior spaces where you have limited spaces. The 10-18mm will give you great depth of field at almost all apertures and will focus quietly, making it great for shooting video too.

Is 18mm wide-angle?

On Focal Length, Angle of View, and Sensor Size On on a 35mm sensor or film (full-frame sensor, such as what you get with a Canon 1D or 5D, the Nikon D3’s), an 18mm DSLR lens is a wide-angle lens.

Is Sigma EX full frame?

Sigma is yet to release lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras (the Sony duo), so it is yet unclear if such optics will have a designation of their own (quite likely), or belong to either DN or DG series.

What is Sigma HSM?

The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) is an original SIGMA development that uses ultrasonic waves to drive the autofocus mechanism. Its extremely quiet operation helps avoid disturbing photographic subjects. High torque and speed assure rapid autofocus response. SIGMA uses two types of HSM: ring HSM and micro HSM.

What does Sigma DC mean?

2) Sigma Lens Format Abbreviations DG – lenses compatible with full-frame sensor DSLR cameras. DC – lenses designed for for APS-C DLSR cameras. DN – lenses designed for compact system cameras.

What is the best size for a wide-angle lens?

The most popular wide angle zoom range is 16-35mm. Most kit or standard zoom lenses go down to 24mm or 28mm. The widest lenses on the market are 10mm (rectilinear) and 8mm (fisheye).

What’s the difference between Sigma and Sigma 10-20mm?

Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for… Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Lar… A shorter minimum focal length allows you to get more of the scene in the photo, and offers a wider angle of view than longer focal lengths.

Is the Sigma 10-20 f4.5.6 an ultrawide lens?

So, ultrawide comes with optical issues unless budget is thrown out the window, one thing the sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 is most known for is it’s whacky distortion profile (but it’s one click to turn on lens correction and get rid of it, don’t worry about it).

Which is better Nikon 12-24 or sigma 10-20?

In other areas, the Nikon 12-24 beats the Sigma 10-20 in terms of shading (“vignetting”), chromatic aberration (over most of its aperture/focal length range, at least), and geometric distortion. Assuming that the tilt we observed in its blur characteristics was an aberration, it seems safe to say that the Nikkor is the better lens all around.

Which is better the Sigma or the canon?

Canon’s 10-22mm zoom tested very well, slightly edging out the Sigma 10-22mm in places, but getting beaten slightly in others. The Canon also does better in terms of maximum CA, but average CA is quite close to that of the Sigma.
