No room to back up. I wish I could get my hands on both to shoot a few frames an see which one I like best and get it, but no such luck here in Nastyville. I played with a Sigma 12-24 once and it seemed like a fun lens,but I was using it on my 1DII, which made it like my 16 is on my 5D. And if I am to get a really wide like this from what I have read the CV lens is better made than the sigma, and I do not mind shooting film for a few frames if I have to. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
