Shooting wide is a new obsession for me. I’ve long loved the 35mm—50 mm focal length for most of my photography, but there are several times when opening things up can help you create spectacular images. Using a wider field of view presents a few challenges, but the rewards are worth it. With the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 Contemporary Lens, Fujifilm photographers can go ultra-wide with great results. Here’s what I learned from using this lens as my daily driver.
