Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM

lBlOlSlSl · 2nd May 2009

Hey Guys,

Need some advise on the above mentioned lens. Can't seem to find any thread on it after searching. Just upgraded to full frame and need one UW for landscape. After getting the body, 24-70 and sigma 50mm, budget is kinna tight especially price Nikon 14-24 is really a big hard pill to swallow at this point.

Anyone with this lens have any pointers to share? Is there a better 3rd party UW than this? Thanks in advance!

P/S: Sorry if there is already a thread on this as the lastest I could find is in 2003

the distortion of this lens is very very well controlled
sharpness is decent but stopped down to f/8-f/11 it's quite excellent.

most importantly, it's the widest UWA around.
