 | sent on March 13, 2020 Pros: Covered field angle, 17mm absent distortion and not excessive at other focal points, construction, image quality Cons: Flare, lampsho, compatibility with the latest Canon SLRs Opinion: After owning Canon's 17-40 f4 L and buying a 14mm Rokinon (Samyang), being looking for something wider, somehow getting me into the scene as I did in aps-c with the Samyang 8mm, I sold both lenses and bought the Sigma 12-24 II. The difference in field is there and compared to Rokinon the quality is abysmally better. The Rokinon has never exalted me either for the distortion or for sharpness at the painful corners even at f11 or more (maybe problems centering my specimen). With the Sigma, fortunately for me, I did not find the problem of the lower left corner, complained by Claudio Ricci, indeed it has an excellent focus that does not suffer from F/B focus with 6d (old) or 5d mark III, the IQ is excellent already at full opening and naturally improves closing at f8-11. The construction is granite and I noticed good resistance to dirt from the front lens, perhaps due to a good protective coating. The Flare is a problem that in a wide angle with such coverage there is everything, but I do not see it as invasive as described by someone. The thing that bothered me the most about this optics is the accrocco made for the lampshh, it would have been enough even a cap like that of the 8mm or the 14mm Samyang (although they are not the best I am always better than this). With the latest Canon reflex cameras (80d, 6d markII and maybe a few more later) I noticed that the AF on some occasions is inconsistent and sometimes goes out of focus, while in Live-view it is perfect. In this regard, having currently a 5d mark III and 6d mark II I use it almost exclusively with the first and in live view or in manual with the second. However very satisfied with the particular images that he manages to give to 12mm. |
  | sent on December 22, 2018 Pros: Excellent angle of view, characteristic. Good construction. Autofocus relatively fast and accurate. Excellent image quality (but see flaws below). Very fun to use. Also excellent on DX machine even if the angle to 12 mm is sacrificed. Cons: The light enters in a "strange" way giving frequent big problems of flare and, easily, large areas of whites "burnt" (also impossible to recover from Raw). In several cases the angles are very soft, especially the one in the lower left (I checked that it had no calibration problems, I think it does not have). It is heavy and cumbersome and at least when I took it years ago it was definitely expensive. Opinion: When I took it (I think 2012 or 13) had the greatest angle of view of all, and I was fascinated just reading it here on Juza, and looking at his shots. I came from a similar experience with a Sigma 10-20 on DX machine (I had it on the D300) but this is another level. It's a damn fun lens to use, but not easy to tame. Just a little and you find yourself invaded by the flares (with everything that to me, in moderation, not even displeased). Worse still, you find yourself with areas of the photo (especially the clouds) in which, even with correct exposure, the highlights go to be blessed, with horrible white patches and sometimes impossible to recover even with raw miraculous converter on the subject. It's like it's got some sort of built-in contrast amplifier. Another serious problem, the cursed bottom left corner, which often becomes so soft as to push me to cut a piece of photos or to give inside of a clone stamp, as long as the element can "replace" easily (I know, a lawn or pebbles). I thought it could be done but doing other checks didn't seem to me, and then I just learned to live with it. I do not use it with filters, I know it is difficult and expensive, Suprassiedo. Some times I have carried it around even with DX machine, and while losing the peculiarity of the super-angle to 12 mm, the results were good and I enjoyed it. |
  | sent on August 30, 2018 Pros: Focal range-weight-accurate construction-excellent value for money Cons: Flare. Opinion: Also advised to those who do not have problems with wallets, but can not afford to put in the bag a tool (even focal but brighter) that weighs almost double. The sharpness is pretty good. The reduced brightness is not a problem if you use it for the landscape, where-usually-you diaphragm looking for greater depth of field. Bought online at €450.00, but with no doubt value guarantee. Rated 9 (8 to glass and 10 at price/weight/focal range). P.S. the inability to use screw filters covers all wide angles for F.F. less than 15 mm and should be long-time, so it is a defect that is superfluous to report. |
 | sent on February 13, 2018 Pros: Wide viewing angle, robust construction Cons: Flare Opinion: It is a more than honest and very versatile optics appreciable on the APS format, but also on the FF does not disfigure. Used at 12 (FF) it returns all too ' wide-angle ' images where the sides undergo a marked perspective deformation that can be too heavy (it writes one that eats bread and wide angles). However, in the end it is an optics with an indispensable focal excursion. The distortion is well controlled, the flare is quite sensitive but still acceptable, the sharpness at 24 Mpix is good, while at 36 Mpix, for those who have made the eye on ' pro ' lenses, it does not scream of wonder but is more than enough, closed to F8 is good. What you do appreciate is the small size. The most visible difference compared to its predecessor (also the one more than honest) is the color rendition of the images which is less hot and probably a slightly better contrast (I'll probably write... because this might be more a sensation than Other). Although visibly lower for sharpness than the mammoth Nikkor 14-24 f2,8 or sigma 12-24 F4, it offers an indispensable lightness and ease of use that allow you to fit it even in a kit to carry in the mountains. This is the absolute reason why I do not want to change it. Vote: The overall rating currently assigns him a 9.2, well... we know that the evaluations of this site suffer from an upward compression, which in fact mixes the good and less good. In my opinion is a good optics, which deserves a good 8 but does not have the professional characteristics that should have a good optics/excellent IE 9 or 10, but... adjusting to the criteria of the site, I check a 9. |
 | sent on October 09, 2017 Pros: A good looking lens with a great price performance ratio. Returns beautiful colors. Agile and handy. Cons: Important flare, controllable distortion with some difficulty. Scratched lens for obvious reasons and very expensive filters. Opinion: For me, it is, in general, a great buy for a photographer doing a hobby. Used is affordable, feeling solid and spending your money well. The 12 mm on FF open new horizons from a creative point of view as well. It does best between f8 and f13. I take it with great satisfaction on D750.rnAfter me is a 9 |
 | sent on October 18, 2016 Pros: a valid robust and reliable goal Cons: always in ambush flare but with a little care you can manage the problem. Opinion: I like the wide 12-mm visual recovery that has a goal all in all good quality at a fair price with good color rendering, the weight is felt with a body lightweight SLR, become well-balanced when used with the D800 or D3 rnsicuramente is commendable on the landscapes where for the best. |
| sent on April 25, 2016 Pros: 12mm - sturdy but heavy the right - good sharpness Cons: flare often present - so much spending on the filters Opinion: I possess a little over a year and I take him with me on every ride. A 12 mm of 6d is spectacular, the field is so large as to make a "subject" mundane into something special. The autofocus is good and fast, not to the level of my canon 24-70, but it does its job well. I use it almost always between F8 and F11 because it is my lens for the views. Sometimes it for photos of automobile use and effect even at lower openings looks sharp. Loving long exposures and not wanting to give up to 12mm sigma I purchased at a high price and filter adapter na |
 | sent on December 15, 2015 Pros: Good construction, good also sharpness, wide viewing angle (on FF? New worlds), excellent color rendering, good image quality. Advised Cons: Poor resistance to flare with light side and front, I miss being able to use common screw-on filters. Opinion: Purchased used by NOC in excellent condition (saving the cost to appreciate it even more). I used to landscapes and architecture (external and internal) mounted on D300. The control of the flare is not always possible, while using the hand-over to shield, which solves the problem with the light side, but when the light is on the front there is nothing to do. The built-in hood serves more as a protection to the glass aspherical, although I recommend to be careful and avoid head-on collisions as this may signal the lens. The solution to create the lens cover into two parts do not understand and therefore do not agree, you may lose the cap frontale.rnDa just the couple with even the D700? They open new worlds with its 122 ° to 12 mm. With a right tilt control of the machine you can control the distortion. Then the creativity allowed by playing on the distortion is impagabile.rnConcordo with how many have gone before me, good sharpness already at full aperture, is enhanced by closing at f8?f11. rnNon a lens it is easy to use for principianti.rnTrovo good color rendering for the use that faccio.rnNel whole a single lens, excellent value for money, like all wide and ultrawide, to the best of the FF. I'd like to be able to mount filters and in that sense I am considering to employ filters Hitech but I have some difficulty finding a valid supporto.rn |
 | sent on July 19, 2015 Pros: Construction, sharpness, wide viewing angle Cons: Poor resistance to flare Opinion: Aim well built, solid, normal weight, low resistance to flare in backlit or sun side aperture but not excellent in a wide angle that has little importance when used as me only as paesaggi.rnScattare to 12 mm ... Well ... that is ... if you try it you can not capire.rnOttima sharpness to any opening, between f8 and f11 is obtained massimo.rnTrattasi definitely targets unique because it allows, given its wide angle vision, to realize creative shots playing with; bending of reflex.rnStraconsigliato. |
 | sent on February 09, 2015 Pros: Careful construction, favorable weight, extreme wide angle, good yield. Cons: Reflections with light and contrary side not always manageable, but to my taste pleasing on several occasions. Opinion: D610 used on a great goal, able to open the field angle to a level really interesting. For my needs invaluable perspective on the landscape. Sharpness and color very good, a lens still to be assessed for all its qualities, which differentiate it from all others and that make the current state ... unique! |
 | sent on February 06, 2015 Pros: Robust, af speed and angle of view. Cons: Can not mount filters and dim to make shots Startrail or milky way. Opinion: When you mount it on ff you opens a new world, awesome, excellent value for money, it does not take very well the flare but in essence it is in my opinion a great optics, crisp to the point giusto..consigliatissimo if you do not want with svenare optical officers, vibrant colors and crisp even at full aperture, a little distortion, but I mean ... this focal ... |
 | sent on January 22, 2015 Pros: 12mm, distortion, sharpness already in TA, build quality, color Cons: filters used very few and expensive, slight loss of sharpness at 24mm, reduced brightness, flare light with front / side Opinion: I bought this lens after going to FF. I came from 7D with the legendary 10-22. I needed a wide.rnEro torn between this, the 16-35 f2.8 II and 17-40 f4.rnAvendo was lucky enough to try all the tern I decided to sigma.rnIl 16-35 tried was very lacking in terms of sharpness, the corners then was a disaster (perhaps fortunate not copy). The 17-40 was good, not too expensive with a high sealing to flare than other due.rnMa 12mm wide with their 122 ° field made me fall in love especially for photos of the interior, where, in my opinion, this lens from 'the massimo.rnIncredibile also the almost total absence of distortion than concorrenti.rnDifferentemente perspective distortion is inevitably present, but also fun to utilizzare.rnNon is a lens easy, you may often attracted by 12mm, to put inside "too much stuff" in the frame with the result of having a photo absolutely trivial, especially when photographing paesaggi.rnDiverso is the speech for internal appunto.rnÈ a lens that I have often led below, nowplaying space in the backpack with the new 16-35 f4 L IS I find most suitable for paesaggi.rnIl flare phenomenon is very present in this lens, due to the pronounced asphericity of the front glass. More with the light side with that frontale.rnAttualmente that there is nothing like it on the market. More wide lenses are just fish eye.rnLa my copy is also very lucky, does not suffer in the least f / b focus. Sign that perhaps, reading other comments, in Sigma, something has changed. |
 | sent on January 19, 2015 Pros: angle of view - excellent color rendering - robustness - AF accurate - image quality general Cons: little resistance to flare - accepts only expensive systems slab 165mm - loss of sharpness at the edges Opinion: it is an ultrawide unique to the field angle of 122 ° at 12mm, this is the main reason why you buy it. RNA against a significant outlay, I've got a filter holder can accommodate filters Hitech 165mm, the only currently used .... well, it becomes a fun one to use the 12-24 for the construction and photos from the peculiar distortions, do not sell it for anything in the world, if not for a lens of same focal length that best (and much) the qualità.rnAlla good build quality, the accuracy of the 'AF (at least in my copy) and the chips colors are contrasted with some flaws, which I think is inherent to the design of a lens as extreme questa.rnil first is the flare, annoying and always there when you use the shorter focal lengths, the built-in hood serves to poco.rnA 12 mm and at wider apertures, is also noticeable loss of sharpness in the corners rather obvious, almost completely solved using openings medium, where the image quality diventa exemplary. Of course, the parallax distortion is still there, if you hold the lens nn perfectly parallel to the focal plane. IN short, even for its price, it is a lens that is worth at least a try. |
 | sent on December 01, 2014 Pros: field angle, color and contrast, very solid construction Cons: inability to mount filters except with holder very expensive, very poor resistance to flare Opinion: Optics in my opinion very difficult to use, but at the same time unique and funny when you guesses the shot right. I used it for about 4 months of 6d. A 12mm perspective distortion is so tricky if you are not perfectly parallel to the ground images deform much, this thing can also be considered an advantage because a distortion creative lets take home shots very interesting, a bit 'as with the fisheye. Reduced instead of the optical distortion. I loved the colors and contrast of this lens, even the sharpness is not poor, at least my copy behaved well diaphragmed f8. Unfortunately I rather hated the very poor resistance to flare even in cities that I have greatly complicated life making me throw several clicks. In any case, the sigma 12-24 remains a lens unique must-try. |
 | sent on November 30, 2014 Pros: made from 14 mm onwards Cons: variability of tuning between specimens Opinion: Why buy a Sigma 12 24mm? To have a good 14 mm. No joke at all: if performance at shorter focal suffer from a noticeable drop in sharpness at the edges and a pronuciata distortion, even at 14 mm things improve greatly, and do not forget that, for example, the famous Nikon 14 mm 24 is so sharp at the edges, even at minimum focal length, but has a distortion embarrassing, far superior to that of the disk of the same house. Moreover, already in the Sigma 12mm is very sharp in the center, thus lending itself to certain effects. The peak yield is between 17 and 21 mm, where the performances take place in a bed of excellence. So, we are faced with a lens from the quality / price ratio very interesting. To be lucky, though. This is because even in the second version of some defect of alignment was found in some specimens. In my case I recorded, although at levels not dramatic, a mismatch that led to a visible decline of definition in the left frame. |
user39791  | sent on August 17, 2014 Pros: On the 12mm FF are spectacular - Good general resolution - Beautiful colors and good contrast - Construction accurate. Cons: The corners at 12mm suffer a bit - Distortion 12 - Poor resistance to flare. Opinion: I took it as a joke but after 10 to 12mm photo I'm loving it. The optical quality is decent and the constructive good. If one has a 24 105 or something and it goes well with this 12 24 gets a terrific mini kit for trips where you do not need a tele pushed. Beyond all of the optical recommended if you want to enjoy photographing, maybe not looking at all pictures to 100-100. |
 | sent on May 26, 2013 Pros: The distortion is also contenutissima to 12mm. Good image quality in general. Construction of the pro level. Cons: Difficult management of flare, you have to really be there constantly to the eye. Dim. Lack of sharpness in the corners at room temperature (improves closing of 2-3 stops, but not Excel). Opinion: I fell in love quest'obbiettivo at the very moment in which I placed the eye on the viewfinder. After 5 minutes of shots convinced me to buy. After half a day of use I realized that I never take it off from the bag. The distortion contenutissima to 12mm, with this wide angle of view, which can not do with it innamorare.rnrnIn general small defects are manageable in part and in part negligible, and does not make this perspective less worthy of purchase. Perfect for landscapes and interesting for portraits constructed in a somewhat 'particular, in situations of good lighting. |
 | sent on November 03, 2012 Pros: costruzione.Buona quality ottica.12 mm.leggerezza Cons: sharpness in the corners especially 24 mm, reduced brightness (not important at these focal lengths) Opinion: I use this lens on the 5D MKII and 7D and in my opinion is perfectly suited to both bodies (on the 7D becomes a good wide angle 19-38). However, this view is definitely born to full frame, in fact 12 mm with their perspective "ultra-wide" also make impressive compositions that otherwise would say very little to the viewer. The impression is that the lens with its 122 ° redesign what you're watching with your own eyes. I use it almost always as a fixed 12 mm manual focus set to hyperfocal 2 mt. My copy bought in a physical store of trust, there is no problem of f / b focus and extreme angles 4 shows a decrease of sharpness reduced. Obviously it is not very bright but it is also true that you can take safely with no risk of 1/15-1/30 times micromosso.Per the views gives the best f / 8 to f/16 (more than 12 mm) , 24 mm to notice a slight drop in overall sharpness. Personally I would recommend is a perspective well built, from affordable cost and qualityvery good optics, fast focus motor, weighs the right and the bag should always find place. |
 | sent on September 11, 2012 Pros: angle of extreme - sharpness - resistance to flare - construction - ability to shoot at shorter focal slow-shutter blur without warning - weight and size limited relative to the focal blankets Cons: impossibility of easy management of filters - low light Opinion: Use on Canon 5D2 and 7D - Although they had spent a lot of (contending the bag with the 17-40L) are extremely satisfied with the purchase of this zoom, with an affordable price that offers an angle of view breathtaking excursion angle complementary to other optical equipment, a remarkable sharpness in the center (and diaframmandolo only one stop to the edge) Fall of limited light, low distortion (and absent around 16-18mm). The construction is very respectable, no backlash and tolerances. I usually I match the 24-105 L for urban and reportage shots to buildings or interiors, in which this sigma in my opinion gives the best of himself. In these situations I leave home my beloved 17-40 L, which reserve's images of nature, mercy its beautiful color rendition. I do not get to say that this lens "does the job" of a 24/3, 5 L II shift lens, because obviously quality and precision of the latter are unsurpassed, though - especially if not used just to lower bounds of its range of focal lengths - the 12-24 says damn its also in the shots of architecture, combining the convenience of a zoom with the quality requirements of a sensor 20mpxl on full frame. Not cheap. |
| sent on January 23, 2012 Pros: Angle of awesome on FF, Strength Building, Distortion, Optical performance overall, Vignette reduced Cons: Not excellent sharpness in the corners. Opinion: I just arrived, so I got to test it in a very limited way. I wanted to give my impression, however, I have not found much in the forums before buying. What impresses from the first moment you look through the viewfinder is the camera angle that is incredible. This can create some problems of exposure with light side, since there is an inevitable inhomogeneities from side to side of the frame. I was favorably impressed by the sharpness of FF, I was expecting something less sincerely, perhaps because I was not very satisfied by a Sigma 10-20 that I had on the 350d and gave decent results only from f9 onwards. I do not know if I am holding a copy lucky, but I noticed a good sharpness already at room temperature. Closing the diaphragm improve especially the corners, in the middle, I repeat, is crisp and clear f5. I did a comparison test with my Canon 24-105 at 24 mm and the result is comparable to a large part of the frame. The corners of the Canon is slightly sharper, but lost heavily in terms of distortion, where the Sigma is much higher. For the distortion to 12 mm have no terms of comparison, given the focus so far, but the results seem to eye more than satisfactory. Also for the vignetting I found good results, better than the Canon 24 mm, for both intensity and gradualità.Ho tried some shots against the Flare and also seems decently under control. For now I am more than satisfied I hope to soon post some shots as examples. |
 | sent on November 18, 2011 Pros: Solid Colors Cons: Suffers a lot of flare in backlit Opinion: lens purchased a few months ago, I was attracted by a ultrawidee I headed on this lens having in possession a full frame.La am beautiful in every sense the only discordant note at least in my case, especially with the flare light, or almost. . I do still more evidence ... but I think these ultrawide him suffer a little all this problem ... Regards |
 | sent on November 17, 2011 Pros: Construction (although not EX). Optical quality. Distortion. Colors. Cons: Low light (Incidentally, not very useful in a fisheye), interference of the light side, despite the built-in hood, due to the curvature of the lens. Opinion: I recently purchased this lens is for interest to images you can capture with a fisheye is excellent references for the brother of the series antecedente.Pur not yet been able to take many pictures are excited about the optical performance of this lens. The sharpness is excellent as well as the color rendering. I made a comparison (I admit it is not very accurate as yours or those of some amateurs in various forums) with my Canon 17-40 F4 lens estimated, and I found a very similar performance. If we consider that the 'picture angle is more than I would say that the results are excellent. Regarding the distortion are equally enthusiastic although I have read that the 'copy of the previous series was a tad better (?). In conclusion I think this ultrawide zoom an excellent purchase and are only at 'beginning of the journey .... |
