Sigma 10-20 first shot on D7100

[Abitconfused]

An evening shot using D7100, central focus points, Sigma 10-24mm set to: 14mm, F/11, 1/80sec (handheld), ISO 200, Lens adjustment in RAW. Sharpening 145, 0.8, 1 in Photoshop 6. Attached image is 904KB on my computer.

This lens seems sharp enough for a neurotic pixel-peeper like me. What do you get when you pay more for a wide angle lens? What would a Nikon 12-24 f/2.8 do that this lens can't (besides the obvious speed advantage)?

That seems to provide all the answers you need. If you like it, it's good

More neurosis .... and a half-stop wider

(besides the obvious speed advantage)

Is the half-stop really that a big a deal for you?

Looks OK to me Ed but how about a test on a modern building that has nice sharp edges on things like windows?

Beat me to it.

If we are really to get neurotic F/3.5 to F/2.8 . . . is two thirds . . . but hey, you're shooting at F/11 what do you care?

If you like the lens then quit arguing the case for it and get out an make more photos.

A few new shots from the Sigma 10-20mm



and



Photoshop does correct corner brightness and sharpening is in order but, for the price, I really like the lens. It also has a responsive focus and a good feel.

You are only experiencing part of the lens' charm. Get into some real tight spaces or up against some towering structures and set the lens 10-16mm. Have fun.

Congrats! I have this lens too and enjoy it as much.
