The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM and the Sigma 10mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye 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 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM is the longer of the two lenses at 135mm. The Sigma 10mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye with a length of 83mm, is 52mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM also has a larger diameter of 96mm compared to the Sigma 10mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye's 76mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Sigma 10mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye weighs 475g, 58% (675g) lighter than the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM's weight of 1150g.
Lens Mounts
