 Sigma 10-20mm lens and the Panasonic 7-14mm lens

A popular lens choice is Sigma‘s 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM, which can be picked up in a variety of lens mounts for £369.

Not forgetting the compact system camera area of the market and the Micro-Four Thirds system, Panasonic produces a 7-14mm f/4 Lumix G lens that’s equivalent to 14-28mm. Costing £999 it is fairly expensive, however, and if your budget can’t stretch to this there’s also the Olympus 9-18mm f/4-5.6 M.Zuiko ED lens at £499. Though it’s half the price it isn’t as wide as Panasonic’s offering and has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 18-32mm.
