Thanks for all the feedback
I bought the sigma 12-24mm instead
Really had fun with the sigma today
Will try and post some pictures taken with it
I can use it on my F4 too
My next target will be the 18-200mm VR to replace my kit len 18-70mm though i still like the 18-70mm
Saving money to buy a D2H
Second hand set abt 3K plus here in HK
Someone offered my S$1200 for a 95% new D1H

but the advantage to the sigma... i can use it on a film camera 12mm without the fisheye effect is no joke

just to confirm, sigma 12-24mm is the only lens that can be used on both digital and film, right?

It's quite mind blowing when you use it on the F4.

 

[Stanly]

Is the Tokina better than the Sigma 10-20mm and Tamron 11-18mm lens also?? :dunno:

do you have any film photos taken at 12mm to show?

Hi All Nikoneans

Just a quick question to those who have used these 2 lens
I have a someone here in HK selling $580 for the Sigma 12-24mm (warranty over)
or a second hand Tokina 12-24mm $625 with warranty for 3yrs
New Tokina cost abt $680 whilst a new Sigma cost $895
Which is a better len for the Nikon D70s
Only problem is Sigma cannot take filter whilst the Tokina can
Dont forsee myself using filter for wide angle
Your opinions count cause i need to let the buyer knows by 2 morrow
Cheers to all in Singapore

Go for Sigma. Nikon brownish cast. Add Sigma blue and red bias. U have email? Can mail u right now

halo my friend, u posted it in CS Gallery, right?
i see it. there's nothing wrong with my aging eyes although focusing is abit headache for me esp. through the small VF... i wish i had a Full Frame 1DSMKII. super bright and super big VF.

anyway, got carried away.
yes, can see ur pic.

Nice.

I know. I was thinking of getting that lens initially but no stock. My events usually require me to shoot wide. My friends theory to me is this. My D70s image always brown cast. If add cyan, my colour is corrected. I tested the theory. Shot High ceiling shots with yellow lighting. I add blue to the photo in JPEG, it came out neutral and slight reddish. Sigma is blue and red bias. Look at the Sigma lens directly and u will see blue colour. Dun trust me. Test out yourself. Check whether I am right. Kit lens no colour on the lens

One more thing. Nikon everything sharp sharp. Gives a very digital feeling. Sigma is slightly soft. Neutralised the digital feeling slightly

Wahaha... and he says he doesn't need the basics.
