A huge field of view, coupled with a sensible zoom range that is still useful on cropped sensor cameras as well as the full frame that it is designed for make this lens extremely practical. A great item of award winning kit, especially if you use more than one format of sensor.

Looking at the original file shows there is no CA or PF anywhere, even where the black edge of the building meets the white clouds in the corner of the frame. That is a real torture test for for any wide angle lens, and the Sigma performs very well.

The Sigma AF 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX HSM DG proved to be a very decent performer for an ultra-wide zoom lens (on APS-C).

This lens should absolutely shine in architectural and landscape photography: off a tripod and stopped down to f/11, I expect nothing short of superb results from it.
