Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM Lens

[sumaraba]

Anyone have this lens or know someone that does? If so how do you (they) like it? I saw it here tonight and seems like it'd be fun to use:

I'd probably be better off getting a Tokina 11-16mm since it's about $100 cheaper, and I like the 2.8 aperture. B&H Photo has some really satisfied customers with the Sigma, although it appears most are just taking photographs of buildings.

Fish eye lenses are so specialized I can't see the appeal. The Tokina 11-16 is rectilinear thus much more useful for real world stuff IMHO. If you really must get a fisheye, try the rokinon (bower) 8mm. I can't see needing your fisheye to zoom or AF
