    I was supposed to be receiving a Canon 10-22mm lens today but got let down (see my thread on the idiots). It was going to cost €696 (€591 ex VAT).

    There's lots of comparisons on the net between the older Sigma lens f4-5.6 and the Canon 10-22mm and it seems the Canon wins hands down with the general response "if you can afford it go for the Canon". The latest Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 is supposed to be an improvement and better in lower light conditions than its predecessor. However there doesn't seem to be any comparisons on the net. One of these is €649 in Conns in town. Conns has the Canon @ €899.

    I need the lens tomorrow and am just thinking I may as well just buy the Sigma. Do you guys who are more in the know think there would be much of a difference between the 2?

    I'll be using it for photographing interiors for estate agents.

    I've read on another forum that the image quality of the Sigma f3.5 isn't as good as the older f4-5.6
    I'll post a link if I can find it....

    €649...ouch. I got mine from amazon for a lot less than that (i know thats not much good to you now)

    Edit
    Have a look here and here

    Well as luck would have it I went onto the Conns website and typed in 10-22mm just to check if I had the price right and they had a 2nd hand one in stock. Went in this morning and bought it.

    I was also on a waiting list for a 550D in there but snapped up a bargain of a hardly used 400D for €280 last night off Gumtree. That should do me fine for photographing interiors! :D:D:D
