Trying out my new lens.

2008.06.28


I ended up buying a new lens! This is usually the most exciting time for me. I bought a Sigma 12-24 wide angle zoom. Now, I have three other lenses and 2 of them are "L-series lenses, the other is the classic 50mm f1.4. You may ask why I bought a sigma lens. There aren't many options for me when it comes to aspherical lenses under 17mm. The overpriced 14mm L series prime lens is out of the question. Also the EF-S 10-22 is not compatible with my EOS-1 film camera, and would not be compatible if I went to a full frame camera down the road. So, after much research and shopping I ended up buying this one. It is technically the 12-24 F4.5-5.6 SIGMA ASPHERICAL DG EX HSM.

vollenda Congrats on the new lens! I used to own a Sigma film camera and lenses but then traded them in for my Nikon. It took some great photos.

Cherax I really love the light, movement, and composition in #1.

I had a go at a Tokina 14mm recently (forget the exact model), and wasn't very happy with the result. Don't know if that is being fair to the lens though.
