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

As I mentioned earlier, when I posted the question here, I was almost sure Canon was the better option. After reading your comments and looking at your samples, I stopped worrying that Sigma might not be on par with Canon in terms of corner sharpness and distortions. It might not have the edge in terms of IQ or speed but the extra 4mm are huge, it puts it in a different category.

I put an order for Sigma last night, it should arrive sometime next week. I’m sure it will find a permanent place in my camera bag. For the future, should I require the ultimate sharpness and quality I might consider 17-TS. However, I hope I’ll keep my sanity and invest the money in something wiser.

Once again, thank you all for sharing your experience, it definitely help me decide on this occasion. I’ll get back with pictures and impressions as soon as it arrives.

Cheers!
