Re: Potential enablement - full frame AF lens wider than 18 mm

I have a sigma 12 - 24 and can attest to the fact that at least my sample is a cracker. Only negative is that it isn't the world's smallest lens. It's about the same size and bulk as my other Sigma, 28 - 70 F/2.8. Peter Boris Liberman wrote: > Hi! > > My FAJ 18-35 is a good lens but I want even

Re: Potential enablement - full frame AF lens wider than 18 mm

Indeed. However there is one gotcha - new Tamron 14/2.8 SP lenses go for above $1000. I am not *that* rich. I cannot buy K (A) 15/3.5 for the same reason I am selling my Sigma 18/3.5. I cannot properly focus manually if I need to be closer than at infinity. Strangely enough Sigma 14/2.8 gets r

Godfrey, do you mean 16/2.8 fish eye or 16/3.5 lens that I am hearing about for the first time? Thanks. Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > You might hunt for a Pentax 16/3.5 ... I don't buy Sigma lenses and > the difference between a 17 and an 18 isn't worth the expense IMO. A > better lens might be

Re: Potential enablement - full frame AF lens wider than 18 mm

You might hunt for a Pentax 16/3.5 ... I don't buy Sigma lenses and the difference between a 17 and an 18 isn't worth the expense IMO. A better lens might be worth it, however. However, I suspect the Pentax DA14/2.8 or DA12-24/4 are better performers on the DSLR (Cotty's FrankenCanonPentax 1

Potential enablement - full frame AF lens wider than 18 mm

Hi! My FAJ 18-35 is a good lens but I want even wider lens. And I want it AF and even more I want it to be full frame. It seems to me that my options are (in parentheses is Fred Miranda site score): Sigma 15-30/3.5-4.5 (8.5 out of 71 reviews) Sigma 12-24/4.5-5.6 (8.7 out of 64 reviews) Tamron 1
