[QUOTE="hark, post: 378895, member: 13196"] And it is for this very same reason why I wouldn't suggest the Sigma. The D800 sensor is going to reveal the faults of lenses that aren't as good. Tokina makes a couple of wide angle FX lenses. When I was considering lenses, I believe their f/2.8 lens received many complaints about lens flare. It does have a more bulbous front lens than some. Tokina also makes an f/4, but you'd have to read up on it as I am not familiar with it at all. Sigma used to make a 14mm f/2.8. Earlier in the summer I A/B'd a new one against a used Nikon 14mm f/2.8. I bought the Nikon, and it appears the Sigma was sold (it was their last one). Again...I don't think this type of prime will accept front filters, but I'm just throwing it out so you can consider all options. The store has a used Tamron 14mm f/2.8 but it wasn't nearly as good as the Sigma or Nikon. [/QUOTE]
