If the sigma and the samsung are at f1.8 and 2.0 is there much a difference at 18mm/16mm. Of deph of field? The sigma is on a a6500

They're both amazing lenses. I own the samsung and love it, but have worked with the sigma a few times in the past.

Obviously the samsung is NX Mount only, so it can not be adapted to other mounts, where as the Sigma can be.

There shouldn't be a huge difference in DOF, although I don't have my camera in front of me, so I forget when the Samsung starts to drop off in terms of Aperture. I believe it's 2.8 by 35mm, but am not certain offhand.

The working differences is that the samsung zooms in a lot more. It's a 3x zoom where as the sigma is a 2x.

The samsung also has OIS which is awesome

They're both a 72mm front filter thread.

The sigma's listed weight is 1.78 lb / 811 g

The samsung's listed at 1.32 lb / .6 kg
