The new sigma 12-24 MK II
- Promissing optics - SLD and FLD glass
- Good BQ it has splash proof cap. I like the new sigma finish.
- reasonable price - 300$ more than MK1.
- it must be available april 2011.
However if I'm in nikonland and I have the budget for 14-24 I'l buy it, even If I know that i'll break this lens.
I'm outdoor photogrpaher - slippery rocks in waterfalls , snow and tripod mount. I knew one day this setup will fall down.
BTW: Do you have any weight requirement. Last mounts you have collected a lot of gear

The sigma 12-24 is brilliant but only if you can get a good copy. I am always nervous to buy sigma because of the sample variance although I know sigma does have some great lenses.
