icture doesn't have Sigma mk2 in their IQ charts to compare it with Canon.

What are your opinions? I hardly expect anyone to own both but do you think Sigma is sharp enough? Do you have to crop to compensate for distortions? Is Canon just ok or is it top class L glass as the name (and the price) suggests? Is it a no brainer to buy this third-party lens when Canon has the best? Or am I throwing money at Canon when there’s a much wider zoom out there with similar IQ?

Cheers!

I played around with a friend's Sigma 12-24 II tonight and was quite impressed.  It was sharper than I thought it would be and it renders the colours nicely.  If I was in the market for an ultra wide I think I would be quite happy with it.
