Here's a few old pictures from the 12-24 II.

I shoot with primes most of the time these days and used to own the 17-40L and 16-35L, also shot with the Sigma 12-24 II a little bit, never really like any of them that much, here is a few old ones I found still on my album.

And here is a few more from different camera/lens combo, just for fun, one from 5D2+ TSE 17, second one from 1DS MK II + Zeiss 21. if you "have to get the 12-24, please get the Versin 2, it's much better in edge sharpness, the version is pretty horrible even on my 1D2 when I tried many years ago, but the version 2 has worse distortion though if you care about it. Also look into the Samyang 14, I like a lot, very sharp edge to edge, but has more distortion, which doesn't bother me for my landscape shooting, another option would be the Nikon 14-24, I love that lens and shoot a lot with it when I don't want to carry bag full of TSE and Zeiss, it can be use on my Nikon body and also on a Canon body with adapter, it's one of my "universal" landscape lens. it's day and night better than the 16-35L II.
