Great REALLY wide angle zoom
If you're in the market for a very wide angle zoom, this one is certainly worth considering.While there is distortion, that's to be expected with this type lens. The images it produces are, in a word, sharp.Its maximum f-stop tends to make shooting dim interiors difficult without a support
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Poor in Low Light

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

One of the best lenses to make it into my lens bag since 2006
I was lacking a really short lens for Landscape ..... fisheyes don't hold it for me but a really short,sharp lens with good control of barreling does. This is probably the only lens out there that has all the above features in spades .....

Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DS HSM
The Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DS HSM ($1,100 list) is a lens that either speaks directly to your soul or you find nearly impossible to use effectively. It's available for Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Sony/Minolta, and Pentax APS-C cameras , where it produces a field of view equivalent to 12-24mm in classic 35mm...
Pros:
- Very, very wide
- One-of-a-kind lens
Cons:
- Extreme distortion on the wide end
- Relatively slow aperture
- Softer at wide angles

Owning a Olympus E5 I have always wanted the Zuiko 7-14mm but the price was just to high. I have recently moved to Sony and picked up this lens for less than half the cost of the 7-14mm. With the crop factor it is actually 2mm wider than the Zuiko. The Sigma is a well made lens.
Pros:
- Build quality
- Sharp
- nice smooth focus ring
- price
Cons:
- Can't use an ND grad
- Can flare easily

Wide-Angle Portraits: Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM Lens Fits The Bill
I really like extreme lenses. Extremely wide, extremely fast, and extremely long lenses will all allow you to create unique images that stand out from the crowd. When I heard about the Sigma 8-16mm lens I wanted to get my hands on one and start shooting, so I asked my editor if I could borrow one...
