I was looking at the laowa 12mm over the irix. Since I'm shooting crop a bit wider than 15mm would be useful.
The sigma has complex distortions no? Wavy walls are even worse than blurry corners imho.
So I'm quite keen to see some tests with this new 11-18

I'm looking for an alternative to the da 15 ltd as it's not sharp enough across the frame when photographing buildings. The top of buildings tend to become very blurry and when doing flat facades you see the field curvature and uneven sharpness way to clearly even for relatively small images printed in magazines.
The 15 ltd is great for documentary photography, showing people doing stuff in context. Makes really gorgeous images for that type of stuff. I'm also not happy with how it renders in overcast light, it's beautiful when the colours and light is strong not so much when the light i even and subtle (overcast is usually ideal for architecture photography, depending on school of course.)
So I don't need the zoom and I don't need the fast aperture but if it's great across the frame at slower apertures I doubt I can resist.
