My Sigma 15 - 30 has seen better days and the outer glass is pretty chipped.

Looks like I'm gonna spend 300 quid on a Sigma 10 - 20 EX DC very soon to replace it.
It gets pretty good reviews. Anybody gonna put me off??
 
No.
 
i believe this was the question mate

Yeh, I knew what he meant, just like teasing him:lol:

Ta for the advice. I was in Jessops in Aberdeen today and they have it in stock for about 300 quid, which, from the research I have done, is a bloody good price for it. Probably get it before the weekend.

Cheers:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

LOL i fell for that one then

as far as the lens goes i haven't heard anybody say anything bad about it tbh
 
ive got one, buy it!!
 
Seriously Brian, I had one and used it a lot, but I got to dislike the distorted images at the super wide end, I only use my 17-55 F2.8 and/or 35mm F2 for landscape stuff now.Just my opinion mate.....:thumbs:

One of the reasons I want to go down to 10mm from the 15mm I have, is having the option of the distortion for closer up work, not so much landscapes.

Cheers for the advice pal:thumbs::thumbs:
 
:agree: with what Fracster said. I didn't like it and sold mine after a few months. The plus side is it has a good resale value...

Well buy the Mutha then...........:thumbs:
 
If they've got it in Jessops, go in and ask if it would be any good for shooting motorsports....I bet they say "yes" :lol:
 
:lol:
 
I've been looking at the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 as a replacement for mine, it's another £100 though, which is why I'm just looking at the moment ;)
 
Get it (the Sigma 10-20) - it's a great piece of glass. :thumbs:
 
ok then, what would be an equal lens that you would suggest instead of the siggy
 
I've got the Sigma, and it must be a really good copy because can't find any fault in it. And i do have expensive glass in my arsenal.
The Canon 10-22 is supposed to better, haven't tried it, but if it can produce better images than the Sigma, it must be one heck of a lens!

Good thing with an ultra wide angle, is that you can shoot as low as 1/10 sec and still have sharp results.

Check this thread out, but I don't think these photos will actually put you off!

It's one of my two most used lenses (along with my Sigma 120-300 2.8 :) ), and my winning (:1st::clap::woot::banana:) entry on the TP 2009 Calendar was with that lens!
 
i would get something different, to wide IMO and distorts alot.

sold mine for the Nikon 12-24 then sold that when i got the 17-55

i would rather take two pics at 17mm and stitch them than use 10mm and have the distortion
