[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 323726, member: 986"] I loved my Sigma 10-20 when I was shooting DX too FKD. Photohiker is shooting FX though. I had the same dilemma when I moved to FX. I mostly shoot landscapes so I wasn't as concerned with a fast lens. With the D800 I can bump ISO if required so I traded speed to go a little wider and bought the Sigma 12-24. I will admit that my positive 6 year experience with the Sigma 10-20 was a major contributing factor. For my needs, I've been very pleased.

The other thing to consider is a Rokinon / Bower 14mm f2.8. They are manual focus but will control aperture. I initially bought one due to the price (~ US$300).
