The Sigma 12-24 is much better than the Canon 17-40 mm! but beatten by the new Canon 14mm (pricey!) I have had the 3 of them (I have kept the 14 mm)
Nic, and anyone else, can you discuss your experience with the Sigma 12-24. I have considered buying one of these to give me something wider than the 24-105, but have held off because of doubts over the lens'performance on the 1Ds3. Similarly the Canon 17-40 does not appear to be well regarded.
Unfortunately wide primes are (very) expensive and even one would be too much at present - UK prices have increased dramatically in the last few months - so I keep wondering about the Sigma as an alternative?
Cheers
Mike
