Just to share-My own Sigma 12-24

[Snoweagle]

Here's mine taken from a previous shoot some time back. Pic is straight from the cam and only resized but apologies for not resizing small enough.

sorry for a little OT here..
how do you compare this one to Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 HSM lens?
i'm looking forward to WA shoots and can't decide among Sigma 10-20, Sigma 12-24 & Tokina 12-24..
thanks

the sigma 10-20 cannot be use on FF. here the shots are compared with FF. if u use the 12-24 on your crop,you won;t have as much width so 10-20 is a better bet i guess(i have not use it before though)

Yes, 2mm difference on the wide end.

At the corner 5% of a picture done 12mm are really soft and CA-ed even when stepped to f22 for my copy. I have a feeling it is pretty uncorrectable even if i step down the aperture further, so nowadays if there is a defining edge of a structure that necessitates sharpness, i try to keep it out of the area.

My share of shots with the Sigma 12-24mm:

At 24mm

At 12mm end

resurrection of the 12-24mm thread. Also wanted to find out if the below kind of shot is possible to replicate using pano - water reflection, long exposure, night scene.

12mm f8 10s

very nice. The Merlion shot is awesome! All using 12-24 or other focal length.

Thanks. They were done stitched with other lenses. I thought u meant if wide panoramic shots in the dark with reflection was feasible compared to wide shots done with 12-24mm sigma.

You got me right. Just that I am trying to figure out how you do the Merlion :think:

Think u exposed a bit too long already. The highlights are quite overblown.

Bro how much you bought your Sigma 12-24mm?

 

[dexpense]

anyone with experience using rear gel filter on this lense?

MWP has them and tried them if i am not wrong. else u can consider this:

not cheap....:nono:

 

[giantcanopy]

I got mine used at nearly half price :bsmilie:

It is not the best timing to shoot, the DR range is too extreme. underexpose for highlights and u will not get much lighting in the rest of the buildings liao. probably shoot when the skies have abit more light left.

I have tried similar shots at ISO 100, f/11, 4 secs and tripod mount with cable release. Works just fine.

good for u la. maybe ur camera DR is very wide, my long exp with some bit of lighting in skies also blow highlights liao ... as in this example..
