Love the second one Dhani , really good candid shot , reminds me of my college days. We used to spend a couple of hours trying to make something , anything, that looked vaguely like a pot , mostly came out like a cross between the leaning tower of pisa , and a dustbin that had been run over.
We then took our girlfriends out to the cinema ,and all they'd do was to complain about the smell of linseed oil on our hands. or maybe it was just our hands in general, so long ago now .:D .

I've been looking at buying this lens. One thing I'm curiouse about is the rear filter thing. Not so much that I mind the filter being in the rear, but I'm always concerned about the front lens. I've always liked having a protective filter on the front.

It does have a front cover, right? Does it come off easily?

Thank you
JR

Dear Capt,

it comes with a fixed petal shape lens hood and a adapter for lens cap as shown and it very hard to take it out not easily falling off, you can leave the adapter on without vignetting if you use with the S2.
I have no idea to have the UV filter on it, some said you can make a thread on the adapter and put the filter on,I'm not sure.

The 14mm Sigma I have has the same setup. Can't use a screw on filter with it. :( But I do like the setup otherwise. If I leave the ring on, I get just a little bit of dark edge in the corners, but, leaving it on really prevents quiet a bit of flare.

Hello dhani

Like your images, I've just had to send 2 Sigma 15-30's back they both under exposed all images by about 1stop on my S2
distant views were often worse. I found it to troublesome compensating just for that lens every time I changed over from my Nikkors, so they had to go , also both had problems focusing on infinity.

your pictures are great, did you have to compensate your exposures at all?

I have a few images on numerous forums all on nikkor lenses and non have had to have any exposure corection. I wonder if my photostore has had a duff batch?

I have had this lens for about 6 months, and like it.
I have to be careful about flare, however.

Like Glasseye, I found it underexposed in scenes where a lot of sky was included. I found it worked much better with centre-weighted exposure, rather than the matrix metering mode.

I also tried the lens on a friend's Nikon F80 and I could practically include my own ears in the picture !:lol:

Actually you can use a protective filter on this lens. It screws onto the plastic ring (the one sitting next to the lens in the photo) , and then slide the ring on the lens hood-voila ! Use a low profile filter to avoid vignetting.
