I got the sigma due to the price difference. I love everything about it except for the flare.

Flare

Flare is always an issue with super wides, but supposedly the canon controls the flare better than the sigma.

The Canon 10-22 is the gold standard by which all other super wide, crop sensor lenses are measured. The only real competitor IMO is Sigma's 8-16mm (for sheer width rather than image quality).

scalvert said, Canon's is the gold standard. If you want top image quality it's the way to go.

That being said, the ultra wide selection is not like your typical ~18 to ~300 range of lenses. There are no crappy kit lenses in the ultra wide range. So even the lesser performers still have excellent image quality.

If you're thinking about moving to full frame, the Sigma 12-24 is still in a class of its own.

I purchased this lens a month or so ago and it's hardly been off the camera I just love using it and I find the detail it pulls is amazing.

I have the Sigma 10-20 and love it, I don't seem to have a problem with the flare, then again I watch for that and work around it to avoid it when possible.

It is quite sharp and I use a wide angle extra thin polarizer filter with it which hasn't caused any real vignetting.

that is where I am having challenge and to be honest moving to full frame means by another standard zoom lens means add another 500-600 bucks for good lens on top of full frame cost :(

so would be good to keep my 50d or move to another 8d-9d or something that would appeal me and still support EF-S lens :)

I have the canon and I use it for portraits on occasion. The sharpness is stellar.

Amazing lens.

Thanks all for your reply!

I am leaning more towards Canon than Sigma!

You wont be disappointed. If it wasn't just for crop bodies it would probably have a red ring on it.

finally I got Canon 10-22mm!

Next week I will be heading out to Cape May, NJ and take some nice sunrise and sunset shots! Also tomorrow we have fireworks in Mercer county park in NJ and will be using this for that too!

Will play around with the lens to see how it behaves!

Thanks guys for all comments!

I had the 10-22mm
Superb lens.
I kept the box and sold it for £60 less than I bought it for.
That is the most compelling two reasons I have.
You'll enjoy using it. It will hold its value.
Hope it helps.

I've had both...the Canon when I was a Canon user, and then the Sigma now.

I liked the Canon a lot...superb lens. But then again I really like the Sigma as well. Other than the additional range though, I'm not sure the Canon is worth $300 more. I haven't had flare problems either.

Ah, you'll beat me there by a week or two. Stop by the Cape May County Zoo if you get a chance. Absolutely incredible zoo and free admission.

I have the sigma 10-20, my favorite lens.
Head to head here.

It outperforms the canon 10-22 so is now the new gold standard in this range ;-)

How do you come to the conclusion it outperforms the canon. The canon scored higher in every category, plus got 4.5 stars in landscape when the sigma got 3.5.

Maybe im reading the results wrong.

Also the sigma was tested on Nikon. Invalidates any direct comparison by that alone.

It wasn`t my conclusion it was there`s :)
Say`s here "The Sigma�s results are identical to and sometimes even slightly better than those of the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED and the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM."

Plus, the Sigma was compared at 12mm, the Canon at 10mm, for what reason I have no clue. But, typically, these lenses perform a bit better when zoomed in about 10-15% from the widest end...

I had the Canon for a week (returned because I wont be able to use it with my Mark II) and loved it. I used it in Rocky Mountain National Park and was able to capture everything I wanted. If you ever go to a full frame that lens is equal to a 16-35mm which is actually twice as much. If you will always have a crop sensor then get the best crop sensor wide angle (Canon) lens you can.

Two details worth noting... the Sigma has an 82mm filter size vs. 77mm on the Canon. That might make a difference if you're switching filters between lenses or want to save money (a $40 difference on a Hoya 16X ND filter). Also, newer Canon cameras can correct for lens aberrations to improve image quality, but 3rd party lenses can't take advantage of that feature.
