The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN C and the Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L is the longer of the two lenses at 92mm. The Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN C with a length of 64mm, is 28mm shorter. On the other hand, there is no difference between the max diameters of these lenses, both coming at 72mm.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN C and Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN L to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
