I have the first version of the 12-24sigma and LOVE it - version 2 is meant to be better, i highly recommend the extra 4mm, it's a HUGE difference. I shoot 95% of my realestate and architectural shots on this lens.

thats assuming you don't need F2.8 and don't plan on using it to shoot events (where the 35mm end might be useful)

there isn't much distortion on my 12-24 but i know the new one has alittle bit more - the 16-35L has more i think, you won't lose much correcting it

The Samyang has alot of distortion, but i am considering it just for weddings, wish it was half the size for that though...

So i say go the Sigma
