Re: Sigma 20mm 1.4 ART vs canon 16-35 2.8 III

I have the 20mm ART and I have tried the 16-35L II.

Both er super sharp in the center even wide open and their edge and extreme corner sharpnes are comparable for the same apertures. Doownsides are found when used at large apertures: Coma for the ART and vigneting for the zoom.

Both are highly recommendable so thendesition is more dependent on your needs and wants than their performance.

I do also have the 16-35L IS, but others would prefer the 2.8 zoom. I find primes more challenging and rewarding to use but zooms are way more versatile for events and reportage photo shoots.
