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 ..... the 8 to 16 on the APS-C 1.5 crop sensor ends up at 12 to 24mm .... well within the range I was after ..... but how sharp it is in reality was a total surprise ..... this is without doubt the sharpest Variable I have ever owned ..... light.....with excellent contrast and build quality. The only draw back with with this lens design is it's inability to accept filters .... it's a Photo-shoppers lens in this regard but what a lens... Aussie Allan
"WONDERFUL SUPER WIDE" This SIGMA 8-16mm f4.5-5.6 HSM DC lens for Sony A77Ii is SHARP and has beautiful colors!The following photos were taken with this lens at "STREET of DREAMS" on a GITZO MONOPOD in Oregon.
Best APC Ultra Wide Angle in my Opinion Ordered this lens after researching all other reviews. My Canon 10-22mm was OK but the edges were all distorted. Shooting Commercial Real Estate is a side business and my Canon lens just wasn't acceptable. When I started using my new SIGMA was I ever impressed. This is the widest and most rectilinear ultra wide angle I've ever used. If kept parallel the image produced lines that were perfectly straight. Even the crazy curved ceilings I got with the Canon came out looking straight and natural as you'd expect a correct image to look. Oh, an the extra 2mm really makes a difference in the amount of area you can cover. 20% more than the Canon. In Canon's defense, it does allow for the use of filters were the SIGMA doesn't and it doesn't suffer nearly as much lens flare as the SIGMA. This is a great compliment to my lens collection, not a substitute though. I will continue to use my Canon for landscape photography but this SIGMA is always with me for shooting real estate. The price is great too!Read full review
