[QUOTE="moony16, post: 283751, member: 23104"] For years, I shot the Sigma 10-20 on Pentax APS-c sensor--it was a nice lens, but the Sigma 8-16 was not available then. I've never shot with the 8-16, but have researched it & listened to many who do shoot with it--I've also seen lots of pics done with the lens. It is, without a doubt, Sigma's finest contribution to UWA to date, easily exceeding the 10-20 & 12-24. There is an excellent thread here [URL="http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/122-lens-clubs/107938-sigma-8-16mm-club-12.html"]SIGMA 8-16mm CLUB - Page 12 - PentaxForums.com[/URL] with lots of pics and discussion. Enjoy. The lens uses the newer Sigma FLD elements for Ca control and the results are impressive. @ 12mm & up, distortions are not even significant. It's an incredible piece of glass. Nowadays, I shoot all my UWA on Fx, but if I were using Dx for UWA this lens would be my choice. The only down sides are no filters & the vignetting @ 8mm--but you have to expect that @ 8mm.
