I didn't have to - the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 is wide enough I was bound to capture something.

That is amazing!

The 8-16mm is really a terrific lens. It's a shame they're so hard to come by. Here are a few from a recent trip.

I'd be guessing Barcelona from the looks of the architecture.

Sorry forgot to mention where these were from. As RobA_Oz correctly noted, the last three are from Barcelona. All Gaudi stuff (Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera). The first one is the Museum of Marrakech.

Thank you! Although the subjects and the lens are the ones that deserve the credit.

Still not really where I want to be with wide angle.... but here is three from me from the 8-16mm.

Jodrell Bank, 14mm

Madrid Real Jardín Botánico 8mm HDR

Madrid Plaza Major 8mm HDR

Looks like I will be doing some DA 15mm HD Limited soon, I wonder how I will like it compared to the 8-16mm?

These are great. The Jodrell Bank shot is amazing, a whole different perspective.
