New Sigma WA finally looms
There's a rumor abroad in the land that the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 lens will
finally be out in August (a measly five months after it was announced). B&H still doesn't mention it; but as of today, Adorama is taking orders ($650 US). So if anybody reads or hears of a reputable review of said lens, please post a link forthwith!! :^) Bob |

Sigma have asked me for some early words about it as no-one else has seen it yet in the UK. It's coming in Nikon fit and will therefore be used on the D5000 (which was due to go back to Nikon to see if there was a fault with the awful sound quality in video - but that will now have to wait). I will post a review to the EU Sigma User website and to dPhotoexpert. It should take all of five minutes to find out whether the lens delivers, that's how it took to find out that the new Tamron was not an option for the discerning wide-angle connoisseur.

I think Adorama ships it free, but they still didn't have it in stock. But I won't consider buying it until I've seen some reviews and a comparison with the Tokina 11-16 (which neither B&H nor Adorama has in stock). The specs indicate that the new lens doesn't come with the traditional Sigma case. Bummer. Bob |
