Default Test shot with my 10-20mm sigma.

Just a quick shot i took to see what it will do. This is 10mm---f/16---1/160s---iso 250
Can't wait to go somewhere to shoot some serious shots. This lens is very different for me. Not only do you have to REALLY watch your forgrounds and backgrounds, but you have to make shure your feet arn't in the frame as well

Plenty of width in that shot....and I don't see any feet! Looking forward to seeing what you can do when you get accustomed to the lens. Thinking I want one, too

My friend has the same lens, and he has had some great success as well. I love this photo, and want the lens even more!
