[rainman]

minus away 2 zero then times 2.
90000->900->900X2 =1800

90,000 x 0.0158 (quoted by Bloomberg) = SG$1422

Isn't Sigma 12-24 is cheaper & has reported usable with full-size censor w/o vegnetting?

[loupgarou]

cos sigma front filter is 82mm and if you use one, there is some vignetting until maybe 17.5mm?

tokina is 77mm front filter.. maybe it won't suffer from that problem.

[majere2sg]

Heard that the sigma 12-24 cannot be used with a filter ?

NONE! Do you actually use a Sigma 12-24 lens? It's no front filter!

That's NOT what's for! Cover is just a cover just like Sigma 14mm and its fisheye lens!

Like you said if you want to use filter it will be via rear gelatin filter!

Relax bro...haahaa.... i know the front filter gives a pretty bad vignette....so its pretty useless to have it...82mm expensive filter too...lol

[loupgarou]

the sigma comes with a petal hood, and a hood cover, the hood cover can accomodate an 82mm filter. this you can use 82mm filters with it. a cokin P filter series with 82mm filter will readily fit. except for vignetting issue, I'm going to file the corners of my cokin P filter holder one day and see if that eliminates the vignetting..

[benedium]

Think the Tokina 12-24 will be around $1000 SGD when it arrives here

Sure it's not meant to be used as filter holder but as just as a COVER as Sigma 14mm and it's Fisheye lens.

If you really wanna use filter, you can try to do something like this: http://www.dslr.co.uk/filters_on_sigma_12-24/
