I just placed my order for the 10-20. I wanted the nikon 12-24, but I was actually advised against it by a couple of people who shoot pro. They said that they have the 12-24 and went and bought the 10-20 and found their post processing times cut in half due to the lack of necessity to fix their images from distortion.cgratti said:Sigma makes good glass. Some of their lenses are better than others.
I have the 105mm Macro and the 10-20mm Ultra-wide. Both great lenses.

I am sure you are right. It is hard to say as I've seen lenses that I've spent $800 on that perform worse than some I've only spent $200 on. It's all about me the user though.compuwar said:What about the time to fix their images from light fall-off?

serpent said:I too was going to go the route of the sigma for a 10-20mm but in my reading up at ken rockwells and nikonians and seeing some samples of what 12-24 nikkor can produce, I think it's well worth spending 2xthe price for the nikkor. Come xmas time I'll buy there 10.5 fisheye to go wider.
I just realized I *hate* this phrasing. Who are "they"? And why does it seem that this phrase only serves to keep those that know about the term in question and those that don't distinct in the customer's mind?ChrisA said:The D50 has what they call
