first pics with new sigma 12-24
Here is a picture taken a couple of weeks ago with my new 12-24. The shot in the cathedral (which was rather dark) was taken hand held at ISO 3200. No noise reduction applied.
Unfortunately image is heavily compressed to meet forum requirements. My other images will need further resizing as they still exceed file size despite being less than 800 wide.

Given the circumstances & how the upload affects the image that's pretty impressive

Re: first pics with new sigma 12-24
Nicely done. Looks pretty sharp given the high iso. You must be pretty happy with the lens.

445 at Jessops. I've seen it online for only a little less. Most reviews still rate the tokina 12-24 as the best value UWA, but the sigma is the only one that will work on a FF sensor camera, should, I mean, when the upgrade happens!
Right, here are a few taken outdoors but in really dismal weather!

Re: first pics with new sigma 12-24
By the way, I have some city nightscapes taken with the same lens. If I post some here and then decide to enter one in the competition, would that be considered cheating or illegal?

Re: first pics with new sigma 12-24
do you know if the sigma 70-300mm apo dg macro will fit a full frame camera?

No ( I dont think so anyhow) but if you think it worthy post it there anyway .It will still get seen
I went for the Tokina ( only 2 days ago as it happens) as I also have the 30D and 350D .
It is a Very nice lens and I feel even If I buy a FF camera I would still keep one of the APS-C cameras so I don't mind it being none FF.
The Sigma is good ( as your picture shows) but for sheer quality the 10-22 EF-S USM Canon ( also non full frame) trumps the lot |

It states a design for Digital but nowhere does it specifically say: APS-C sensor |

Carlisle yes, sunny no.
Opinions are divided over the canon 10-22 and sigma 10-20, but both are excellent.
Having used a sigma 10-20, I can confirm that the 12-24 has much less distortion.
