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

Good choice. I've had a Sigma 12-24 since the first Photozone review 9 years ago - it convinced me that it was good enough, and I bought a 10D which was only usable for me because there was a wideangle option. When I upgraded to a 5D, I bought the 17-40L intending to sell the Sigma, but realised that there was actually nothing in it in image quality terms. That remained true on the 5D II. I've kept both lenses - if I want to use filters, I use the 17-40, if I'm shooting both APS-C and FF I use the Sigma, otherwise I use whichever lens is in the bag. The Sigma is certainly not shamed by my L lenses.

Additionally, 12mm is just stunning when used effectively!
