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.

Yeah, I choose it too over Canon, mainly for the extra 4mm at the wide end. I only have it for a week and I didn't get a chance to shoot with it yet (bar some samples posted above). While so far I am very happy with it, I realised that probably I won't use the zoom as much as I thought. So maybe I was better off with the highly recommended Samyang 14mm at less than half the price.

Anyways, the main priority now is to go out and shoot with my new Sigma.
