Pretty much every shot I do with this lens is at f/8 anyways, so I never really feel the need for a speedy lens.

Hmm... is this for sharpness? I'm about to buy this lens today locally I think-- is f/8 the optimal aperture for most day light shots like this? Thanks justinleeportland

Aug 21, 2012 16:01 | #4443 I'd say I'm at f/8 and above 90% of the time during daytime hours. At night, I'm on a tripod mostly, so f/8-11 is where I live.

I just got my sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 and I am dumbfounded at how much better it is than the tamron. Wrote a little article on it here: http://www.flickr.com …iscuss/72157631184404044/ justinleeportland

I don't use UV filters with any of my lenses (my preference), but I do use CPL filters with them, including this one. I've had no problems with using a filter on this lens at all. I would recomend that if you do get a filter (CPL or otherwise) for use with this lens, that you get one of the slim models. This will help prevent the filter from causing any vignetting. Hope this helps. Oh, and for a recomended brand, B+W......very good quality. Geoff | SmugMug

Never thought I'd be spending this much on a cpl, but I guess I can use the same one for my sigma 50 1.4 when it arrives... and get step adapters to fit my other size lenses. justinleeportland
