It depend on how wide you want it to be, Sigma 12-24mm actually is quite a good lens (with no CA), but heavy and no filter.I was thinking of getting a wide angle lens next year. Review on it doesn't seem to be too good. But I was looking for FF wide angle lens so I can use both on my DSLR and SLR.

The rest of the ultra wide lens for Sony/KM system are:
Peleng 8mm
Sigma 10-20mm
Tamron 11-18mm
Sony/KM 11-18mm
If I'm not wrong the 11-18mm is for Digital and not full frame. Correct me if I'm wrong.
less wide is
Sigma 15-30mm
KM 16mm FE
Zenitar 16mm FE.
What do you mean preview on it doesnt seem to good? As in you went to the shop and checked it out? If you are looking for a full-frame wide angle, the widest WA zoom is the sigma 12-24mm if I'm not mistaken. Other possible alternative is the Sigma 15-30mm.
It support 82mm filter if with the hood on, but may vignet on full frame because of the filter, not sure about APS-C.Seem this lens does not support filter and exhibits vignetting at the 12mm. I heard the Sigma 15-30mm has some problem in sharpness from what I read.
How does the Sigma 12-24 compares with the 10-20?

miss-read some where :embrass:No CA...are you sure...it's known for quite strong CA...but CA is understandable.
You can put filter at the back of the lens...
Sigma 10-20 is somehow slightly sharper and wider (on APS-C bodies) than Sigma 12-24. However, 10-20 has much stronger and pretty ugly distortion than 12-24 which has extremely well controlled distortion.
From 12mm to 10mm, this 2mm difference is quite a lot.
or the coming Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G :devil:Seems that the Sigma 12-24mm seem to have some problem. Maybe I should get the Minolta 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0. I wonn't get the super wide but I heard its a good lens.
