Hi all,

I'm looking for some 'hands on experience' advice. I'm after a wide angle zoom and have narrowed it down to two; the Canon EF-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 or the Sigma 12-24 f/4.5-5.6 EX DG. I've read reviews on both these lenses in various camera mags and they all give differing views, one said the Canon was softer than the Sigma and another said it was sharper Who to believe?

Going on spec alone I'd favour the Canon as it has a wider field of view (16-35 on my EOS400D I believe...it's x1.6, isn't it?) and a wider maximum aperture, but it's the quality of the final image that counts so could anyone who's used/has either of these lenses comment?

Any help would be appreciated
