I'm sure they came with the close-up filter?

Superb set of shots as usual Bob, I wouldn't have bothered
with Iggy though

Now lend some to Greece!

I've still got one.... OK in good light even for birds at about f/8 which isn't a problem with cameras that are good at 800-1600ISO

Just did a search on the forum and this is one taken of a
Robin with that lens: link

Good test Andrew. The shot of the seat looks OK as well.

The shot mountain underneath the church interior on the page I gave before looks really weird the way it's sharp in the centre and soft at the edge.

There is a 24mm shootout site and the Oly 24mm beat the Sigma.... easy conversion to Pentax

They didn't test a Leica lens though?...... Is he possibly saying Sigma designed and made a 24mm for Leica? It was indicated in AP years ago that some Leica and Sigma zooms looked very similar in the optics dept. Not very similar in cost though

Thanks for that. The automatic translation John's posted above doesn't seem to be very clear?

Here's a paste of the original:

Sigma ultra wide II 24/2.8

Vem, malce čudna izbira na prvi pogled, ima pa manualno zaslonko in fokus, optično pa naj bi bila narejena po podobni, če ne enaki zasnovi kot Leica model . Tudi že pred testom sem se lahko prepričal, da lahko s tem objektivom dobim zelo dobro ostrino, vsaj na crop kameri. Na FF ohišju je potrebno precej bolj zapret zaslonko za ostre vogale, kar se lahko razbrere iz vzorčnih izrezov ven. Sodček je tudi precej izrazit na tem objektivu.

What exactly does "but the scan was made from a similar, if not the same design as the Leica model." mean slightly better translated.

The person who did the tests posts as izo on this forum:

The Sigma 24mm has very poor edges/corners accoring to
this Slovenian test site

http://www.slo-foto.net/testi/148/bozicni-test-carl-zeiss-objektivov/s4

Some good lens tests on that site, even though I can't understand
the lingo, such as this on the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 EX DG OS HSM

Click on TESTI for other tests.

The Flash applet for zooming around is very impressive

Just grind the edges smooth with silicone carbide paper or a stone?
