[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 620809, member: 24285"] In the end after taking the lens back to the store I was convinced to keep it. Had a chance to have the 11-20, a Nikkor 20 1.8 and Sigma Art 20 1.4 mounted on my D7100 and compare photos taken of me in the store. The Sigma is a touch better, but about $400 more, the Nikkor was ever so slightly better (at 2.8 20mm for comparison) and $170 more. But the difference were slight. It came down to faster aperture vs zoom. Was I more likely to gain from having a lens that would go to 11mm vs one that would shoot at 1.8 or 1.4. I didn't like the size of the Sigma. The compactness of the 11-20 had already proven itself when I was able to put it into a lens case on my belt when hiking in the mountains with my 200-500. I could swap lenses easily enough. The 200-500 hung around my neck as the strap was on the lens not the camera, and I could take wide shots, then put the smaller lens away and go back to the long lens. That worked. It would also work for the Nikkor 20mm as it was not that much bigger. But not the Sigma. And I still have that 17-35 Tamron 2.8-4.0. Does not mean a 20mm prime will never happen, just not now. NAS Lens Lust will strike again. [/QUOTE]
