Re: fair bit of experience

I have owned, tested and shot with the following ultrawide lenses.

Samyang 14 2.8, simga 12-24 I, canon 16-35, canon 16-35II, canon 17-40, canon 15mm fe 2.8, canon 24 tse II, and nikon 14-24.

There aren't many WA lenses missing from that set. Everybody seems to agree with you that Nikon has the best WA zoom out there. I haven't tried it yet and using it with an adapter on a Canon body would be too extreme for me.

As I already purchased the Sigma, i'll stick with it for a good while before I'll consider another WA lens. I know this lens might be a good bit off from my initial goal (ultimate sharpness and image quality for a WA zoom) stated at the beginning of the thread, but I came to realise first, as you put it, "much of the difference is academic" and second - I think Sigma will be more fun to use.
