Canon R10 & Primes or Sigma?
I was thinking about making a gear change that on paper seems to make sense, but…
I’m slightly budget conscious, so here’s my thought process. I’m using an R10 but have been shooting Canon since the original digital Rebel. No qualms about using an adapter at the moment.
Right now, I own several prime lenses. EF 50mm/1.8 EF 40mm/2.8 EF 24mm/2.8 RF 16mm/2.8
I shoot almost entirely on the 24mm right now, mostly indoors family type photography and outside pictures. Think taking the family to Disney World kind of stuff. I like that with the 2.8 I can get nice pictures without flash and that have some nice bokeh for shots of my kid playing in the grass with the dog, all that good stuff.
I like to do my framing in camera and find the 24mm a little limiting in that sense. I was thinking about picking up either the newer Sigma 18-55/f2.8 or maybe even grabbing the older 18-35mm 1.8 art lens and adapting it. I’d most likely sell some of the primes to cover the cost of upgrading.
I know that I’m moving to a bigger form factor lens, but am I giving up a lot in terms of image quality with the sigma vs the canon primes? I was thinking about trying to get something soon before tariff madness really goes bonkers with the prices.
