Default New UWA Zoom from Sigma

Should be system agnostic enough not stirr things up, too badly. Ny
lense bag says "Come on partner" but my pocket book says "NONONO"! :-))

Safer bet than Samyang, there my experience is 50:50, but I'm in no
hurry since I'm kinda good between the 17-40-4.0 L and the 8mm Peleng
fisheye. The latter defish nicely. I'd await the tests though but Sigma
is much better now and with the firmware update dock you can fix the
that yourself if necessary.

Have a looksi. Sigma 85/1.4 vs Nikkor 85/1.4:

Nikon made a 13mm lens once that had no distortion. Sells in the
five-figures now. If Sigma succeeded then good for them. Will be
interesting to see how it compares to Nikon's old stalwart 14-24mm and Canon's equivalent.


For those of us in the Fujifilm World we will have the soon to be released
Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR. (12-24mm 35mm equivalent). However, it
will be priced at $1000-$1200. The still very nice XF 10-24mm f/4.0 R OIS
is an alternative, though not as fast, but more affordable.

The S350 isn’t what I would call good value. The new E400 is tempting now
that my E350 is 6 years old. However, it is still running without any
problems, and I have my eye on other toys.

....and I am just a retired California State LEO who planned for my
retirement.

I have dad issues with Sigma. I will just summarize: They were insisting
that one of their lenses did not fit, because the mount on my Nikon was
not the right size, even though my Nikon lenses all fit.
