Seems quite sharp. The sample seems to have a slight centering issue.

I'm currently having some ultra-wide moments ... Canon Fisheye, Sigma Ultra-wide, Oly wide. [Image: wink.gif]



Interestingly ... this is no EX lens (unlike its predecessor).

Wow, the CA is quite low for such a wide FF lens. Pretty impressive for 12mm!

All the three old ultra wides from Sigma are EX lenses, but, as you say, not the new 12-24mm, and also not the 8-16mm. I wonder why.

It seems as if Sigma is restricting this to constant aperture lenses now.

Technically the 12-24 would qualify - it is even splash proof.

I see. I have the 8-16mm, and it feels as well made as the first 10-20mm they made, which I used to own. They should make an 8-16mm with f/2.8 constant aperture. I would fear the price though.

Hmm... looks like the first 12mm test on FF? Congratulations <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />. By the way, it is a bit pity that you don't have pics from 8mm (Sigma 8 - 16mm) - it would have been interesting to compare.

yes it looks nice - but it's a pity they don't seem to be making new lenses for the A mount now - down here it's really difficult not to be following the canon brand, canon marketing is everywhere -



. . . and seeing Alexander here, i took a look at Arctic exposure - looks good and i will visit, but there is so much choice up there ... what to do
