I have been using a Sigma 10-20mm for my Nikon D300S for real estate photography. I switch over to my Nikon D750 which is a full-frame sensor, and that was the main reason I purchased the Sigma 12-24mm lens. So far I'm very happy with the images I have taken with it.

This lens is very good for ultra wide angle landscape phtoto, which I like very much. Good to have it from Adorama. The rating of the ocndition is quite accurate.

This lens is far from a necessity for my usual work. It is one of the gems that set me apart from the crowd. At weddings, I use it with my camera on a monopod as high as I get can it to capture the reception in full swing. For a couple shoot, open it wide, hold it over a pair cuddling on the sand. Photoshop out your toes, and they will appear to have been shot from a helicopter on a private stretch of paradise. I will use these shots very sparingly and the unexpectedness of them brings instant delight to my clients. Over use it and it gets boring, really fast. Yes, it takes time to get it out. Yes, its more to carry. And yes, you will own one if you wish to lead the pack.

I don't use it much, but it gives dramatic effects. I use it on a Nikon D700. Best on full-frame.

I bought this when I discovered that my old 18-35 mm Nikkor that gave me such sweeping panoramas with my F100 became, in effect, a 27-52 on my digital bodies. I liked that this one covered the full 35mm format on my F100 and was half the preice of the Nikkor 12-24 when I bought it.

I picked up this lens for my D70 a couple of years ago, it was great then! Now that I have a D700 the lens is just indispensable…… I love it. I have blown up a few shots as big as 24X36 and the quality is clearly evident. Solid centre to corner, no crop.

Good condition 2nd hand lens

This lens is very good for ultra wide angle landscape phtoto, which I like very much. Good to have it from Adorama. The rating of the ocndition is quite accurate.
Fully compatible with all Nikon Digital SLR cameras including the D40 and D40X, the large angle of view of the Sigma 12-24 4.5/5.6 EX DG ASPH Zoom (122 degree super wide angle of view at 12mm along the diagonal axis) is ideal for shooting indoors as well as landscape photography. It has a variable angle of view from 122 degrees to 84.1 degrees.
Four Special Low Dispertion (SLD) glass elements are provided for effective compensation of color aberration, which is a common problem with super-wide angle lenses. Two pieces of Glass Mold and one-piece Hybrid aspherical lenses offer excellent correction for distortion as well as all types of aberration.
By effective arrangement of lens elements and advanced technology this lens has Super Compact dimensions of 100mm full-length, and 87mm Maximum Diameter. It is equipped with an Inner Focusing System that will keep the length of the lens unchanged, while controlling aberration.
The models which are equipped with the HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) System (only in Nikon, Canon and Sigma Camera Mounts) offer Full Time Manual Focusing. It has a minimum focusing distance of 28mm at all focal lengths. This lens is equipped with an integral Petal-Type Hood, to block out extraneous light.
