Told you so! It's an amazing lens.


Hey! stop rubbing it in or whatever lol you smartass jk

The Sigma lens is actually shorter than my walk around lens but it's a bit heavier probably because it got more glass (elements) inside it which would explain why the pictures are so damn sharp lol.

Damn! I almost forgot to share those pictures I took earlier with ma new lens with you guys ^^

I think a fisheye would suit you well - you take some pretty interesting skateboard pics ;)

This lens is awesome for night shots as well - I found it found the focus a lot better than all my other lenses did in the dark. :) Plus I found, it used all 9 points of focus sometimes when I took a picture - none of my other lenses did that.

Seriously though... just get a damn tripod already - you don't need something hugely fancy. lol

this has nothing to do with the lens and it doesent use all focus points for focusing, it just calculates f-number so that you get all in focus and since thise lens is so wide angle, the focused area is larger with lower f-numbers, so it picks up more points easier.
