Now you don't have to stand so far away from the cars to take great pics huh!  |
Oooh thanks for the tip there tod, I saw there Tokina but the two people I consulted (co-worker who's a hard core photographer and my other friend who takes photos for a living) suggested I either go with Cannon or Sigma, well to start they suggested that as my skills progress I try other lens out too. Man I read so many reviews, I'm just glad Google exists lol. Thank you for the tip though and yes I'm looking forward to not standing so fara way from the vehicle and being able to capture more with this lens
Just curious tod, have you used the Tokina or the Tamron? I honestly didn not read anythign up on those lens? Any info would be greatly appreciated

The B+W MRC circular polarizer is a good choice. It is what I use. I have three different sizes.
Be sure you test the polarizer on the 10-20 at its widest before you purchase. From what I have read, on very wide angle lenses the lens can wind up seeing your polarizer if it is a standard model (it is too thick). As a result you get darkness at the edges of the photo.
This may not be a problem for your combination of lens/camera, but its worth a check. If it is a problem you will have to get a "slim" polarizer. It is exactly the same, but much thinner and without threads on the front for other filters (or lens caps).
Looking forward to some shots with your new glass!

Thank you brianja, yes I was warned about the polarizer and the wide angle lens. The polarizer I used worked just fine with the Sigma lens but that's why I didn't purhcase it right there and then becuase I wanted to read up a bit more on it. I didn't ask to see the slim polarizer though and I've been doing a bit of reading on them and I think your right, with the Sigma 10-20mm and the B+W MRC circular polarizer I don't think I'll have any issues but I'm getting second opinions.
I can't wait to snap some pictures of the Volvo with this lens

Well same idea as a fisheye lens pirex, just with out the distortion that's all, well there will be some distortion but not as bad as a fisheye. I know Nikon has one I just can't remember the model or specs....
...I read a review about it actually...I'll check the magazine I got...I know I read it
