I last visited this location during the Summer, where all the trees were in full flower, with rich greens on display.

With Autumn fast passing by, I decided to return to see if I could capture some nice Autumnal colours; I reckon I got there a bit late, but rather than claim a wasted fifteen minute journey, here are a few from the walk
All K5 and 10-20.

I have no experience of the Sigma 8-16, but do own the 10-20 (older model).
It's a great lens, as others on the forum will also testify.
However when you specify you're thinking of "a wide lens", what uses do you have in mind? There is a huge difference between say 18 and 10mm; for example I also own a Sigma 18-50 f2.8, and if I took a landscape image at 18mm, then the same at 10mm I would be looking through the viewfinder as if the foreground had moved back about 5 miles
It's difficult to explain the huge difference that 10mm offers, perhaps others can explain better than me.
To give a perspective of it's uses at 10mm, all of the following were taken with me standing literally next to the pier

If you do end up with a 10-20, I'm sure it won't disappoint and you'll have great fun using it.

Very nice set, crisp and clear, were you using a filter of some kind?
Thanks Don, with the exception of the Church image, the outdoors images were taken with a CPL in place.Very nice set, crisp and clear, were you using a filter of some kind?

Nice to see the island in autumn. We've only ever gone in spring time. Lovely bright, colourful shots.
Thanks Andrew, the actual images are from the start of September in Mallorca, just me being a bit late in posting Nice to see the island in autumn. We've only ever gone in spring time. Lovely bright, colourful shots.

If you want to add a 4th to your list, consider the Sigma 18-50 DC EX.
Like the Tamron, it has a constant f2.8 through the zoom range.
Been using mine for some years now, highly recommended.
They seem quite rare in the classifieds though..

I feel your pain. Loosing those faithful friends is always hard. You can tell those buddies all your happiness and miseries, and you know your secrets are safe with them. You can't give that trust to anybody else.
Fortunately, time is a great healer when it comes to that kind of misery. I hope you'll recover from that loss soon, and maybe you'll find another faithful four legged friend. It will never replace the one you lost, but you'll have another faithful confident.
Good luck, my friend.

Appreciate your kind words.

Big doggie lover here and I know just how gut wrenching this is, having lost two before, and cherish the moments we have with our current two every day.
Reading your story has filled me up and I'd like to give you a big virtual hug.

Some lovely character shots of a wee personality
As a dog owner/lover I know how you feel. It takes a bit of getting over but time is a great healer. Take care.
