This is the ugliest imaginable lens... Sorry, but had to say that and get it off my chest. It just looks ghastly on my Nikon F5 and on the F100 too. Oh, well, now that I said it, I should add that it's a very good, reliable tool. Where does one get a wide-angle this wide Nowhere!
Pros:
- Speed, size and relatively discreet look (if it wasn't for that front element that's downright bulbous)
- Nice range of focal lengths
Cons:
- Maybe it's ugliness, along with that the front element is so weird looking and doesn't allow for filters of any type
- Other than that, it's not a lens to use with flash 'cuz it vignettes like mad, especially at 12mm (and what's the fun of using a flash at 24mm with this lens None.

High quality lens.
I have owned this lens for about nine months now and have used it for both bird and mammal photography. I sold the Nikon 500mm f4 that I previously owned and after much research, eventually bought this one. I was much influenced by the superb testing of this lens by Canadian photographer Brad Hill.
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
Cons:
- Bulky
- Heavy

Sigma 12-24mm F4 DG HSM Art
The Sigma 12-24mm F4 DG HSM Art is a new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras. It offers the equivalent angle of view as an 18-36 mm lens on an APS-C system (depending on the crop factor).

Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art lens
For its type, the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art lens is a good performer and buyers should be satisfied with the results they can obtain with it, provided they are aware of its capabilities and limitations. It's also a lot of fun to use.

I bought this lens as an experiment for an architecture assignment, I wanted to include some extra "spicy" images in the portfolio. I quickly found out that I could use it for almost ANY subject. It is far more versatile that I imagined!!
Pros:
- Extremely sharp and contrasty
- quick HSM-focus
- solid build
- very LOW distortion
- hardly any chromatic aberrations
Cons:
- the extreme corners of the image are soft and distorted, but it improves dramatically when stopped down
- vulnerable to flare

This lens will not stay in your bag.
If, like me, you're accustomed to edge-to-edge sharpness and couldn't bring yourself to even press the shutter-button, with the expectation of chromatic aberration, with it's purple-fringes, then this lens is for you.

Given the high bar set by Sigma's Art lenses, when I first heard about Sigma releasing this lens at a fairly affordable price I was extremely excited. Unfortunately though, the lens fell short in several aspects.
Pros:
- Landscape photographers looking for a wide-angle zoom lens with exceptional sharpness and performance from 12mm-16mm
Cons:
- Photographers looking for excellent performance across the entire focal range and photographers who prefer to shoot with a lighter kit

Huge improvement on the older generation Sigma 12-24mm zooms
I have been using the generation one Sigma 12-24mm lens for wide landscapes and architectual shots for many years. The older lens was sharp in the center but soft at the edges and corners even when stopped down. The older lens was at its worst in the 12-15mm range, right where you needed it most.

Loving it
I love this lens. I love it for promo photos, realestate , and even group photos. The only thing is I thought o was buying it in Canadian dollars and it ended up being U.S. prices. Ouch.
