Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 (at 20mm.)

Test # 57
Lens Sharpness Test
Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6
Sharpness at 20mm. Tested Apertures F5.6/F8, F8/F11, F8/F16
	Test by Sinan Ozturk

20mm is the narrowest focal length of Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 lens.

At this focal length, Sigma can go as wide as F5.6 and first photo is the comparison of F5.6 with F8.

In the second photo F11 and in the third photo F16 is compared to F8.

Unfortunately 20mm is not the strong suit of Sigma 10-20 Lens. Especially corner sharpness is very weak in 20mm regardless of the aperture. Its best performance in corners is F16 for 20mm but even at F16 corners are too blurry.

You can use custom comparison box at the end of the page to compare any photo against another one. (Eg. F16 against F5.6) [Review by Sinan Ozturk]
