I haven't been this excited about a DSLR in quite some time. I look forward to the challenge of "getting it right" with the new SD14. I simply have fallen head over heels for the output of the Foveon sensor.
I am about 50% a film shooter (Pentax 645, Zeiss Ercona, Yashica Mat, and Chinon M42 clone), and the other 50% with the current DSLR, a Pentax K110D. I use strictly M42 lenses with the K110D, and will use them on the Sigma as well.
I am, however, quite interested in the Sigma lineup of proprietary mount lenses. I think that Sigma has come a long ways toward offering superb optics (based on the reviews I have read, at least).
I almost strictly shoot landscapes, and I never have a problem "taking my time" for a shot. It seems the the SD line is good for my style.
I am considering the 10-20 zoom from Sigma, as I like the approx 17mm wide end. Also, I understand that this lens is quite sharp, and does not show a whole lot of distortion (at least no more than other brands). I expect a bit of vignetting, and I can work with that.
All that said, can anyone give their opinion of the 10-20? Hopefully someone in the forum owns one.
Are there any other Sigma lenses (preferably EX or better) you might recommend for my landscape photography? I currently have: Pentax Super Tak 55/1.8, Kiron 105/2.5, Tokina 35-70 (surprisingly nice lens), and the Vivitar 100-300 (another "keeper" lens for me).
This will be fun, and another aspect of photography for me!
