This lens is W-I-D-E at 10mm. The long axis at 10mm stretches your subjects...It gives your photos a different look and can have lots of fun with the different looks. Some samples of all 10mm:

I also received my GND Z-Pro Hitech filter system! This photo has a .9 hard filter.

Awesome shots. I wonder how these compare to the EF-S 10-22..there's like, a $200 difference.

Sweet... I almost got this lens, but went for the Tamron 17-50 instead. I see you have both. ;)

I use the Tamron all the time, a super versatile lens. This will be my landscape/semi-fisheye lens.

You should write up a little site blocking tutorial, and it should be a sticky.


Me want too.

Yes...that is the one. I bought mine used from a POTN member. I have a non-US copy, they go for about $450 new. The U.S. copy has a 3 year warranty and the Non-US (gray) has a one year. Found no problems so I'm happy with my copy.

Wish I could have tried your UW at the shoot, but it won't mount on my camera. :sad:

It really is a great lens. Hopefully I'll get to experiment more than landscapes now with my newly acquired free time.

Speaking of, i got 2 landscape photos in the 10-20 archive Gabriel. I'll get those car shots in time.

Thanks Noob...I can't wait to get a Sunset/Sunrise type of photo.

I believe it is a great lens to have...I'm trying to find more potential in it...congrats on your free time! always great to have that!

Yes...all kinds of creative stuff at 10mm. I'm thinking of taking a photo of someone pointing to extend their arm length.

awesome shots! That did it - I'm heading over to B&H and picking one up:)

I've been considering fish-eyes(but don't know if i want to fix every image), 14mm asphericals(but don't have the $$$), and the arguements between the canon 10-22 and the sig 10-20. Not sure if the Canon is worth the extra money for an extra stop, and your pics look great. I think the sig might be the right choice:) Thanks!

You can always try both out. I just pushed you over the edge for a UW.;) The sig has a hood and a very nice carrying pouch (better than my 70-200L). I bought mine used from a fellow POTN.:D

Thanks calicokat...It is designed for the 1.6x crop only. Yes the 12-24 is a full frame lens.

Congrats!

Situations arouse and you did what you had to do for a reason. I sold a 85 f/1.8 that I wished I kept but it was my only lens at the time and I needed something more versatile.

nice shots of the helicopter. it's such a fun lens.

Thanks cbock...I've been drooling over it for awhile and finally had the funds to get it.

I brought this thread back up to ask a question... Is this lens still available? I don't see it listed on B&H or Sigma4less.

:confused:

~edit~
aaak... nevermind. I was looking under wide zoom and it wasn't there. I found it under Aux lens on the Sigma site.
