Re: Pro/Cons for Sigma 12-24 II & Canon 16-35 II

Robert, thanks for your reply.

I own both the Canon 17-40 and the Sigma 12-24 Mk II.

Am I correct to assume you acquired the Canon prior to Sigma? You plan on keeping both?

When I need a wider lens than the Canon (quite often when photographing covered bridges) I use the Sigma.

Does this mean that you prefer Canon at 17mm and over?

Now, perspective distortion is an other story on loss of image space but that is what you have to work with all UWA lenses, including primes.

Can you roughly quantify the loss on image space in any way or is it more like a "case by case" scenario (i.e. shoot at 12mm and after distortion correction looks like it was shoot 14mm)?
