A couple of shots of Sydney CBD at 8mm

This thread has convinced me to purchase an 8-16mm sigma. Thanks to everyone who showed off their pics!

Anyone have a good recommendation for a place to purchase? I own a 17-70mm sigma that I love, but I know that sigmas can be hit and miss. Would be nice to find a place that has an easy return policy if an exchange is necessary.

Thanks!
Randy

WOW. it sure is wide!! Its heavier and bigger than I thought Just about the size of the Pentax 18-55 kit lens

My favorite subject "Kipper" seems to like it but he thinks it makes his feet look big

from my front door

Just in time for my trip out west to the Tetons. this is going to be fun!

I'm looking for one now but there are so few around I may have to buy new.

Pheo · 07-08-2012, 03:09 PM

Mine is hopefully on route from SRS Microsystems.

Just need to get theK30 before I contest it (K10D went AWOL :-( )

**dadipentak** · 07-08-2012, 04:22 PM

Funny, I decided a couple of days ago that I needed to get me one. My decision was based on logic similar to Homer's (great minds... ;~).

Pheo · 07-14-2012, 05:53 AM

Mines now turned up. Pleased to report its pretty friggin awesome. Only thing is I need to learn how to get the very best out of it as its so different from my previous lenses.

It's nice having picked up a UWA - 6 years after I first got a DSLR, one of the reasons being to be able to buy a UWA lens!

Also at £406.99 inc delivery it was a bit of a bargain!

Need to try shooting some video with it soon!

**dadipentak** · 07-14-2012, 06:36 AM

It arrived yesterday afternoon. I haven't put it through acceptance testing yet but can confirm that it is wide.
