[QUOTE="stmv, post: 136146, member: 10038"] Yes,, this is an interesting lens. a very old design, but FX compatible. and for the price,, perhaps a bargain. This generation of Sigma lens are built pretty nicely, not going to match the 14-24 in build, but it is quite compact for what it is. I like the way sigma zooms produce pictures. Each company is different, perhaps due to their lens coating formulas, and sigma produces a nice look. I have come close a couple of times of purchasing this lens. used, but I think I would be more tempted to buy new now. here is a deal: [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sigma-12-24mm-f-4-5-5-6-EX-DG-HSM-AF-Lens-for-Nikon-SLR-/370595215982?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item5649323a6e#ht_3100wt_1051"]Sigma 12 24mm F 4 5 5 6 EX DG HSM AF Lens for Nikon SLR 085126200558 | eBay[/URL] brand new! for 794 dollars.. Heck at that price, you could try it out,, and resell it for 700 dollars. cheaper then renting. darn,,, if had had not just paid the tax man,, I would be tempted to buy that myself. really comes down to really really really wide,, versus less wide, more expensive (way more) Nikkor 16-35,, or way way more expensive 14-24, or even more wide not any faster 18-35. or this ultra fun wide angle for 750 dollars! NEW. cool. [/QUOTE]
