![]() ![]() I"m comparing them all, and unsurprisingly, it's looking like the Sigma is optically superior to the Canon kit telephoto zooms when used at the same focal lengths. I am currently experimenting with the Sigma Contemporary (EF) 150-600mm f5-6.3 extreme telephoto lens, for more reach beyond the EF-M 55-200 and EF-S 55-250 IS STM lenses. The Sigma 56mm f1.4 is in the same class as the 16mm f1.4, and the Canon 32mm f1.4 is even a cut above those two due to its incredible sharpness wide open. My videos shot with the 22mm in very low light are washed out enough (poor contrast) to be unusable, where the 16mm f1.4 results look great. It has much better flare control and gives cleaner, contrastier images in very low light than the Canon 22mm f2 lens. I do railroad photography and video, and what I've found is that the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens is optically a class above the Canon 22mm f2 lens. it gives sharp images in the daytime and is so small it fits in the camera bag without a second thought. The 22mm f2 is a great lens because it is 'very good' optically, and so small and light. I have extensively tried both the Canon 22mm f2 and the Sigma 16mm f1.4 at night for extreme low-light photography, in conjunction with DxO Photolab and its DeepPRIME de-noise. So then it becomes can you handhold the 22 at the slower ss That is the difference between f2 on the 22 and f5.6 on the 11-22 Handheld, with the 11-22 you get 3 stops of IS 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.Ĭanon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens Image Quality () And the size is no more an obstacle.įrom my prime lenses (16mm, 22mm, 32mm, 56mm), the 22mm is the least used one. The large aperture is just an additional "bonus" for me. To my mind, it is a great lens concerning IQ, sharpness and color rendering. Your saying the 11-22 would be better than the 22 outdoors at night, for stills? IS would help that much with both at 22mm?įor a long time I hesitated with the Sigma 16mm because of its size, but now I am owning it for about six months.īut my focus is rarely on low light, more on landscape, travel and family photography. ![]() Outdoors at night, for motion, the 16 f1.4 would give you 1 stop of light, iso 3200 versus iso 6400, over your 22 f2 Outdoors at night, for stills, use the IS on the 11-22 I view the 16 f1.4 as a party lens to photograph kids indoors at f1.4 - sharp in the center at f1.4 The 16 is a big lens - you have a small m200 - many use the 16 on bigger m bodies like the m6II or m50 II If shooting stills, the 11-22 with IS is what I would use So it is impossible to recommend only one. It is an excellent party / family gathering lens and also very good for landscapes. It's my most used lens.īut the 16mm is also very nice. I don’t have the Sigma so can't comment on differences in photo quality. The disadvantage is that the Sigma is much heavier and larger making it more obvious if used for street photography. □įor example you'd be able to drop from ISO 3200 to ISO 800 and get the same exposure/light. There is only one stop between f/1.4 and f/2.0. The Sigma lens would provide you 2 stops more light wide open 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. 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. ![]() Hey everyone, I currently take alot of landscape, but also love to carry my camera around for some street and travel photography. ![]()
