Nikon/Sigma or Tokina 12-24

[HeWolf]

Understand Nikon lenses are on the high side.

Nevermind, tonight go and buy 1224 :devil: and your dream will come true.

Wah Lao! :angry:

I really bought the 1224, but tonight opened 1223!

Why didn't Nikon/Sigma/Tokina make 12-23mm lens? :dunno:

No news about the lens? It is already March :cry:

ya lor, may need the lens soon. Of course, if I had the spare $, could always get the nikon one, but I could extend my trip two to three days with the money saved.

My friend got it for me from Japan. the cost is $$880... I think it's the cheapest 12-24.... both sigma and nikon are above $1k

[obviousdude]

what focal length did you shoot those at?

[HOCL]

from exif info, 2nd and 3rd are 12mm ...

sam - can shoot something with straight lines ... like buildings?

 

[sam_always]

@24mm

@12mm

Any issues about warranty if you buy from Japan?

 

[Cheesecake]

are these photos unprocessed? straight off the camera?
no shift/change/edit in colour management?
