Re: Canon 16-35 f4L vs Sigma 14-24 f2.8 Art

Hi ANdy I tried the 14- 24 Sigma and the 14mm f1.8 Sigma side by side and to be honest I looked at the pics at home and decided I would go for the zoom .... not a lot between them and I like the variable focal length and f2.8.

I find this variation in sample horrific from many manufacturers! The basic Samyang was known for all the problems of decentering through moustache. I am not suggesting Sigma cant make a -@~~ up of a lens too .

Prices here from an online discount

14- 24 Sigma £949

Rok SP 14mm f2.4 £900

Samyang 14mm AF f2.8 479

Samyang manual 14mm f2.8 £229

Sigma 14mm f1.8 £ 1009

Canon 14mm f2.8 £1200

The Canon version is reviewed to be poor quality at edges  with strong vignette and not too good with coma for astro.

So quite a variation ... but for me its a toss between Sigma zoom and AF Samyang... with the zoom giving the ability to be more than a one trick pony.

Gear ... what I need to get the job done , after all you don't see mechanics listing their brand of spanner as a qualification .
