Hey everyone, I currently take alot of landscape, but also love to carry my camera around for some street and travel photography. I love my Canon 22mm for its low light performance but I was wondering if it would be worth having the Sigma for the extra bit of light it would let in. Of course alot of photos would be in the daylight, but I don't really want to put the camera away when walking around outside at night. Would it keep my ISO down much lower?

Hello,

for a long time I hesitated with the Sigma 16mm because of its size, but now I am owning it for about six months.
But my focus is rarely on low light, more on landscape, travel and family photography.

To my mind, it is a great lens concerning IQ, sharpness and color rendering. The large aperture is just an additional "bonus" for me. The more I use it, the more I like it. And the size is no more an obstacle.

From my prime lenses (16mm, 22mm, 32mm, 56mm), the 22mm is the least used one.

Of course, the decision for/against a certain lens is always quite subjective, but I can highly recommend the 16mm, if you like that FL.
