Anyone have this lens? Sounds like made afor APS-C cameras and should be all the width I would ever need. We will be doing a Danube river cruise this summer and wanted lots of panoramic views.
Another option is to just take along my wife's Canon SureShot as it has wider angles than my 40D with the 24mm lens.
Sorry, sigma 8-16
The Sigma 8-16mm was just announced 2 months ago, and is not available yet. Tough to tell if you will be able to get it by the summer.
Take a look at thisthread, it is about full frame wide angle lenses, but the Sigma 10-22 on a full frame camerawould give you similar angle of view to the mentioned 8-16 on an APS-C body. See if you like the angle and perspective.
I do recommend the Canon's 10-22. The sharpness, color and contrast are very good. If you use filters, the 10-22 will accept them, the 8-16 will not. Also by buying the 10-22, you will only have a 2mm gap between22 and 24mm.
It is always a good idea to rent the model you are interested in buying and play with it.
Take care

Canon 10-22 [Y]
Had one, sold it with my 20D thinking I wouldnt need it once I bought the 16-35 L II. Wrong!
Going to buy another one as soon as I can afford it. [*-)]
