i own a canon rebel t3i and due to my camera not being full frame will this lens be a good choice for wide angle?

It'll be about like shooting a 17-35mm on a full-frame camera. Bigg3r concern is Sigma quality. I've had two of them where the shutter started to stick after 2 or 3 years, and Sigma no longer made parts for repair. I'm sticking with Canon from now on.

I have a Nikon D7000. Also not a full frame. I love this lens. It should be fine for you.

yes, great choice for apc-c censored cameras. I prefer an even wider lens like a fisheye though.

If your lens has a 58mm front diameter. Its not very good tho, lots of distortion. You are better off getting a good wide angle lens.

It's a good wide angle lens for full frame cameras that is less expensive than the 14-24f2.8 or a tilt shift lens (for real estate). It's not as fast as the f2.8 lens however, but using a tripod can solve that. If you are using a crop frame camera (i.e. not a D3, D4, D800, D600, etc), then you don't need this, as it provides similar results to the kit 18-55mm lens.

Yes! A wide angle lens will always be helpful when taking the group shots especially if you do not have plenty of space to back up. It is also helpful in getting those shots that capture the entire event that is taking place.

No it is not a wide angle lens. Wide angle is usually wider than 18 mm (or 27mm in full frame).

No, you would have to look else for wide lens. This one is perfect but more for portrait, details and lifestyle.

I wouldn't say your bound to get way better quality vs this lens kompared to a 18-55mm. That all depends of kourse on the quality of the lens your using. But i will say this lens is amazing and has great picture quality. In a wedding setting i would definitely recommend simply because wedding pictures usually deal with shots that envolved groups of people. And they really weren't lying when they said "wide angle" regarding the description of this lens. It remarkable how much massive space this lens is able to kapture and fit into a single shot. Hope this waz informative for u.

I purchased this lens specifically for group shots. The wide angle allows you to fit everyone comfortably in the frame. You definitely have to change the aperture to ensure everyone is in focus. I probably stand around 15-20ft away from the group and use an f/stop of 4 or 5.. Possibly higher depending on the situation. You can always test different settings to see what works best at the time. Awesome lens! Bring great depth to your images

Absolutely, I use it on My Canon crop frame Rebel Xsi, My Canon ESO 60D and Full frame 6D. It's a great sharp lens. It doesn't have Image Stabilization But really not needed so much on a wide angle lens. Hope this helps.

The T3i is a great camera but a lens really makes all the difference. I use this macro often on a crop frame 7D similar to your T3i and had the opportunity to use it on full frame cameras too. It's fast, quiet, and the IS is fairly new (1 year old) and defiantly worth having especially on a higher focal length of 100mm. I would say this is one of my more popular lenses I enjoy.

It depends on what you want to do. If you are mostly into landscape or sunsets then no you probably want to get a wide lens. I would suggest getting either the 24-70 f/2.8 or 24-105 f/4.0 L lens.However, if you want to take picture of "people minding their own business" (for lack of a better term), this would be a pretty good choice. You can be standing at some 20 ft away and still capture the emotion. Do not forget however F/4 is not that fast, in order to capture a crisp image you might end up having to boost up the ISO to ISO-800 unless it's a really sunny day.

Yes. It will act as a moderate wide angle lens on the 6D (which has a full frame sensor) and will be a roughly standard lens on the T3i (crop sensor). It will produce good images on both, though the crop sensor may dilute some of the fantastic qualities of the lens on the T3i (appearing slightly less sharp at the edges of the field and exaggerating the bokeh fringing). Regardless, it is a fantastic lens on either camera. It is a great value for a super sharp moderate wide on the 6D and is still one of the best large aperture standard focal length lenses you can get for canon crop sensor cameras as well. Yes.

Hi Ling, it is a very good choice if you are not looking for a Canon lens, I have a Canon 550D and it is working perfectly on it.

This lens probably isn't wide enough for your needs. Unfortunately, the wider ones (11-18) are slower. And forget using a camera attached flash for those wide shots. Flash will NOT fill the area. Therefore, this may be the best present solution. A very wide, fast lens is difficult to find. If there is one, cost will be high. I have used a 11mm, room light, high ISO to capture a large room.

My one and only experience has been with the Canon Rebel T3. However, on 30Jan2014, I bought a wide angle lens for my T3. If fitted just right. It works great in photography involving flowers. Good luck. You should not have any problems. MZurita

This is an excellent wide angle lens. I also own the Panasonic 20mm lens which I've always thought gave better results on the the Olympus bodies vs. Panasonic, mainly due to the Oly in body stabilization. However, the better addition (I think) is the Olympus 45mm f/1.8. A fabulous lens that fills that "in-between" focal length that you currently don't have. But if your goal is a wider angle lens, the 12mm is a great choice.

Depends if you plan on ever switching to full frame. I find 17-18mm the widest I normally go since I shoot people and too wide isn't flattering. If you are shooting landscapes then any of these will do since you want to stop down the aperture anyway. I love the 18-35mm sigma, I get the isolation from the blur that I need to create my artistic images. I never take it off anymore.
