A wide-angle zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 is useful for many applications, including weddings, landscapes, astrophotography, etc. However, such lenses can be quite expensive, usually costs $2,000. However, both Tamron and Sigma offer much more affordable options, and this excellent video comparison takes a look at both to help you decide which is right for the job.
Coming to you from Dustin AbbottThis helpful video review compares Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary and Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Glass. The great thing about both of these lenses is that they retail for under $1,000, less than half the price of many first-party options. The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is one of my easiest recommendations for a lens ever, as it offers great performance at a great price and the great thing is that you can actually buy an entire trio of f-stops. /2.8 for as little as a 24-70mm first-party lens. f/2.8, so if you’re worried about losing a bit of focus compared to the 16-35mm, keep that in mind. All that said, it looks like both lenses are pretty impressive for the price. Watch the video above for a full summary from Abbott about both lenses.
