12 MM hand held inside a nice Bar (Stube) in the Alt-Stadt in Cologne
(after my 2nd beer and @ 1/20sec as well--so not as steady as I would have liked) --but shows FOV possible with this Lens.
Taken with a 1D2 with the Popeye (Sigma 12-24 MM) @ 12 MM ISO 500, f 4.5 @ 1/20
As you can all see, this lens leaves a lot to be desired. HOWEVER - I use it for documenting rough interiors on my jobs, and it's width really makes a difference sometimes. So, I'm keeping it.
With the exception of the Canon 14mm, I use a Tamron 14mm, I'm convinced to the negative. That being, there's too much linear distortion in these lenses for my personal tastes. That's not a bad thing, just a matter of personal preferences.
Thanks for posting these images as my impression of what's expected, the results are completely different from what really is. Wow!
Sorry for the repeat... I haven't had much opportunity to get out and shoot lately. Hopefully I'll have some new shots to post within a few weeks. For now -- all of these were taken at 10mm using the Canon 10-22 on a 20D.
