Is 17mm on the Sig the same as 17mm on The Tam. I guess its the macro term that is messing with me.

Macro has nothing to do with field of view. 17mm is 17mm, regardless of lens.

If you have never seen one of these in person they truly are a sight. They are so massive.

More than corn in Indiana.

Sunrise in full go! Pretty awesome seeing this shot through my lens.

Just breaking the horizon.

Bought Joe McNally's new book the other day ... certainly a must get for anyone working with off camera flash photography. Excellent read and well worth the money.

and now i'm thinking very hard to sell this lens.....
i love the color
i love the contrast
i HATE the FOCUS ACCURACY !!

thinking to upgrade or buy 1 new lens with different focal length ? which one is good ?

if focus correctly, then it comes like this .. :
