Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM review by Yucel

I love the Tokina 11-16mm... Recently got a D800... So was investigating options. Tried the 12-24mm Sigma version II... I prefer the corner sharpness and image usability in the 8-16 shoot DX on the D800 over shooting the 12-24 FX on the D800... The 12-24 is going back to Adorama...
Pros:
  • Wide, so very wide
  • Price is so very reasonable, Sharp, pretty sharp
Cons:
  • Not FX ..
  • But good enough in DX even on FX
