Originally posted by nomadkng I've run out of room in my camera bag and I see a gap in my lenses,
I have the DA15, FA28, FA35 and F50, but would really like to cover the 16-27 range.
the FA20 interests me, but at 600-700 is not only tough to find, but is pushing my budget
the DA21 isn't full frame and has had mixed reviews
the FA20-35 is more budget friendly, but tough to find and again mixed reviews
I've even contemplated the Sigma 17-50 and selling my 28 and 35 to offset the cost, but they are so light and crisp, I'm trying not to part with them and the Sigma is cropped sensor only
I have the Sigma 12-24, but I can't use ND filters with it, otherwise this thread would not exist
Or maybe the gap from 16-27 is more psychological than logistical?
Main uses are landscapes, with emphasis on waterfalls, thus the need for filters
I personally would go with the FA 20-35. I have had excellent results with it. As far as I'm concerned the only drawback to the lens is F4.0 which is somewhat on the slow side. For samples check out my single-in-october album
FA20-35
I can use ND filters with the pentax 12-24, why is that not possible with the sigma? I can't stack more than 2 without vignetting but I just use strong ND's
