kja Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'd check out the tokina 11-16, too. Not only does it do everything the Siggy 10-20 (bar those last 4mm) does, but it rocks in low light, too. It can have some flare issues in full sun so you need to be aware of that, but it's perfectly usable in daylight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Can I quickly steal the thread? Be my guest Ok quick first shot from my new Sigma 17-70mm lens. I've still not had a chance to really try it out (damn rain ) but I got this one on saturday. Early shots look promising, nice and sharp and AF seems quick :D It's amazing how close I can get to my subject now, which is useful for Indy because as soon as she see me with my camera she just come straight towards me :rolleyes: This was at 17mm and I think she was almost touching the lens hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravyk Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 OH's is grabbing it at lunch time and depending on how impatient I am [and how much of my sucky assignment I get down] I'm going to wizz down and grab it off him! Pity it is so overcast and dreary today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Well I was impatient and went and grabbed my lens! :D Only tested it out briefly on the way home. So expect some more shots later on. Edited July 4, 2011 by Ravyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 awwww chookies! are they silver laced wyandottes? I had one of them, my last glimpse of her was in the jaws of a fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The middle one is Miss Evil Incarnate...who goes after toes and fingers! Yes they're Silver Laced Wyandottes [except for the 1 Gold Laced]. Sorry to hear yours was taken by a fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'm not a chicken fan anyway, but jeez that one looks fierce and not a little possessed Looks like you're going to love the new toy, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 She is evil! Will be having a good play with it this coming weekend [after all my exams finish]. We're headed to Pt Pirie so I'll give it a good work out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huga Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Cool Ravyk! I have come to the conclusion that I need this lens (not that I ever photograph landscape stuff). Do you find you have to watch you don't get your toes in when you shoot at 10mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Love the last 2 Ravyk - how cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Looking good huga - I've never had a toe problem with 10/11mm except with my fisheye :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Really? Maybe I have massive feet I nearly caught my toes a couple of times when I was using a 14mm-24mm for a wedding last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find you have to watch you don't get your toes in when you shoot at 10mm? No, unless I am shooting down at a subject, then I sometimes get a toe [or currently my belly!] in.
