Pros: Excellent build quality and optical performance. Extraordinary angle of view

Cons: Some might complain about the weight

Opinion: It has nothing to envy to Nikon, Canon, Sony products and so on. This ultra-wide-angle Art lens is terribly heavy (personally I have never made weight a problem), but the build quality borders on perfection, wonderful ring movement, solid barrel, no focal range thanks to the internal movement of the lenses, small lens hood that protects excellently from possible flares, materials of the highest quality. Sharp, very clear and a little everywhere. The mtf speak for themselves! The 14 24 f/2.8 G Ed, from Nikon, known to me, is incomparable in terms of quality of materials, it comes out "dented" compared to the Sigma, not to mention the price. The angle of view is extraordinarily wide, no one gets where this lens begins, those 10 degrees more at the minimum focal length than the "common" 14 24 make a difference. As already written on other occasions, with the release of the Art series and subsequent times. As far as I'm concerned, Sigma lenses are welcome in my kit.

Pros: Sharpness, little distortion, robustness, natural colors.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: It is undoubtedly a high-quality objective! Once taken in his hand he immediately gives the feeling of robustness and solidity, he manages to have an excellent sharpness already at 12mm, good at the edges and to be at 12mm it is really a lot. So if you want to go below the 16-15mm of the "ultragrandangoli" all-rounder this I definitely recommend it especially for competitiveness compared to its competitors such as the Canon 11-24, a really great value for money. The 12mm distortion is really contained and does not require any special corrections other than for the little vignetting that is very normal at this focal point.

Pros: Robust and well-finished construction, well-controlled distortion for such extreme zoom, optical quality ART series.

Cons: Nothing for me.

Opinion: Previously I used the first model of the 12/24 sigma which I did not mind at all as general surrender I like the perspective of the ultra grangolas and the quality for is not fundamental or better was not until I tried this 12/24 f4 ART . I was undecided in the triad 12/24, 14/24 or the 14 mm always ART but in the end prevailed the field angle of 12/24 at the expense of better brightness than the others. Quality of materials and finishing from the first of the class at a price more than congruent, the optical quality compared to the old model is abysmal, distortion very low. Autofocus extremely fast. It also holds the backlight well with the sun in the photo. I keep it pretty much fixed on the D810 Recommended.

Pros: Sharpness, almost non-existent distortions, natural colours, precise fast and silent AF, build quality, splash and dust protection.

Cons: Loss of sharpness at the edges between 12-16 (almost absent between 20-24) small ghost Images

Opinion: Just given the first pictures taken to test I'm desperate, the sharpness on FF sensor from 36 Mp looked pretty disappointing, actually with high density sensors the amount of detail makes the frame seemingly confusing, if viewed in the collection the image looks Knebeen but you just enlarge it and you realize that the micro contrast is impressive and the improvements that you can make in the camera raw are incredibly wide. From the point of view of distortions, I cannot understand how they managed to contain them in such an effective way in an extreme objective like this. The only thing that got me a bit really disappointed and some loss of detail at the edges but contrary to what was said, on some "professional" reviews, the problem exists between the 12/15 mm decreases progressively to disappear between i20 mm and, not vice versa. If hit by the Sun produces 2 small ghost images that I can easily eliminate with Photoschop and also a bit of flare. It is not classified as weather sealed but in fact it is splash-proof and dust, other brands boast a dummy that does not protect from anything. I would like to know the opinion of other owners of the goal, you have also been experiencing sharpness problems at the edges? Could mine benefit from a calibration with THE Doc?

Pros: Definitely impeccable construction, it seems to be able to use it to plant nails. Sharp, it holds well the flare even with the sun in the frame, I have to see how it is with the lampposts and lights in the night.

Cons: Heavy, the protruding front lens puts me a (nice) bit of anxiety: I'm afraid to Rigarla. The first test provided less than a km walk, camera and 12-24 around the neck, well, you hear. It's not cheap, but it still costs half the Canon 11-24, really overpriced.

Opinion: Arrived a few days ago, I could prove it a little ' only today: 12mm are really immense, there are even too many things. Large, heavy, optimally built, the front lens is a little scary (afraid of Rigarla, so that just does not snap horsemanship his "peck"). I put the sun in the frame several times: no flare. Looking at the pictures on the PC seems very clear. Difficult to use, in the frame enters everything, and you have to learn to manage the distortion of objects on the margins, which at the moment I do not know.
