10-20 anyone?

first day w/ the Sigma 10-20
didn't have a lot of time to actually go out shooting, but did a quick 5 minute stop downtown

can't wait for a chance to try some landscapes and shoot the interior of our condo for the realestate agent

Great pics baby, especially love the lake shot, the colors in the water and the contrast of the rocks is amazing *kisses for a good job*

@ the office

note, these images are saved on the cheap
1200x803, 150 dpi jpg (crappy 8bit)


damn, time to take off the auto ISO again...this is at ISO 1600
not a pic killer, but IMO it could be a lot less grainy

the mount is metal matt. the lens is not that bad either. for a crop body, its a very decent choice considering you dont have alot of other models out there. i tested this lens some time back and the most funny thing was...the autofocus is kinda redundant at 10mm..lol..at 10mm and f8, your hyperfocal distance is just over 2ft.

i want me a wide fish eye though....would love to see more pics from marty.

anybody has any thoughts on the tokina 12-24?

it doesnt look as sharp as I would want in a lens...which is why I wanna wait for more pictures...but I guess for the price its not a bad deal
