So I am honestly just so done with my current Fuji 18-55mm kit lens it just isnt doing it for me anymore and I feel like the corners are always mushy whenever I try to get a decent wide shot of the valley. I am getting so hyped though because I finally decided to look into the Sigma options since they finally brought them to X-mount and I have heard such good things about their glass quality compared to the price point.
I am actually planning a massive trip to the Isle of Skye in Scotland next month and I really want to capture those dramatic cliffs and rolling hills properly for once without dragging a massive heavy prime lens that costs two months rent. My budget is probably sticking around the 600 or 700 dollar mark since the flights were so expensive.
I've been looking at that 10-18mm f2.8 cause its so tiny but then people keep mentioning the 18-50mm as a good all-rounder but is that wide enough for serious landscapes? Or should I just go for one of the primes? I really need something sharp that wont break my back while hiking all day or make me regret not buying a different brand. Which Sigma lens is actually the best one to grab for landscape stuff on a Fuji body?
Like someone mentioned, that wide zoom is likely your best bet for those vistas. Scotland weather is super unpredictable tho so you might want to consider some extra protection for your gear.
I was so satisfied taking the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary through the Alps last year. Corners stay sharp and its tiny... perfect for those Skye vistas.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Youre a lifesaver honestly.
Just saw this. I've dragged Sigma glass through worse than Scotland and it never fails. Any wide zoom from Sigma is a safe bet for sharp corners without adding unnecessary weight.
