sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - Klaus - 08-26-2011 Seems quite sharp. The sample seems to have a slight centering issue. [url="http://photozone.smugmug.com/Reviews/sigma1224f4556II"]http://photozone.smugmug.com/Reviews/sigma1224f4556II[/url] I'm currently having some ultra-wide moments ... Canon Fisheye, Sigma Ultra-wide, Oly wide. Interestingly ... this is no EX lens (unlike its predecessor). sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - Brightcolours - 08-26-2011 Wow, the CA is quite low for such a wide FF lens. Pretty impressive for 12mm! sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - netrex - 08-27-2011 All the three old ultra wides from Sigma are EX lenses, but, as you say, not the new 12-24mm, and also not the 8-16mm. I wonder why. sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - Klaus - 08-27-2011 [quote name='Alexander ' timestamp='1314404659' post='11069'] All the three old ultra wides from Sigma are EX lenses, but, as you say, not the new 12-24mm, and also not the 8-16mm. I wonder why. [/quote] It seems as if Sigma is restricting this to constant aperture lenses now. Technically the 12-24 would qualify - it is even splash proof. sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - netrex - 08-27-2011 I see. I have the 8-16mm, and it feels as well made as the first 10-20mm they made, which I used to own. They should make an 8-16mm with f/2.8 constant aperture. I would fear the price though. sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - arvydas - 08-27-2011 Hmm... looks like the first 12mm test on FF?

By the way, it is a bit pity that you don't have pics from 8mm (Sigma 8 - 16mm) - it would have been interesting to compare. A. sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - anyscreenamewilldo - 08-27-2011 yes it looks nice - but it's a pity they don't seem to be making new lenses for the A mount now - down here it's really difficult not to be following the canon brand, canon marketing is everywhere - . . . and seeing Alexander here, i took a look at Arctic exposure - looks good and i will visit, but there is so much choice up there ... what to do sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - Yakim - 08-31-2011 Klaus, how's the flare resistance? sample gallery: Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DG II - Klaus - 09-01-2011 [quote name='Yakim' timestamp='1314826691' post='11205'] Klaus, how's the flare resistance?
