Title: Sigma 12-24/4.5 DG HSM vs. Nikon 14-24/2.8
Post by: jsch on February 04, 2009, 12:33:42 pm

Hi everyone,

I use a good copy of the Sigma 12-24/4.5 DG HSM on a EOS 1Ds Mark II and a EOS 5D Mark II. Has anyone compared the Sigma to the new Nikon 14-24/2.8 in terms of centre and corner sharpness between f5.6 and f13; or knows of a comparison.

Thank you.
Best,
Johannes

Hi!

Nikon is better but Sigma is quite decent. I have a Sigma 12-24 on order...
