It appears to me that because you've already posted this two years ago you are suggesting Smeggy shouldn't have. I wasn't a member two years ago so I'm glad Smeggy did

I got one for my mother a couple of years back. She's 84 and lives alone and with a lot of scans of old prints (restored as necessary) along with around 700 newish digital photos it is one of the things that gives her the most pleasure. It's updated, usually with photos of her grand children and great grand children, every few months.
The biggest drawback, I find, is because the frame is in landscape format photos in portrait format are small and of course vice versa if the frame is turned.

I ruled out the 15mm because it was f4 which meant I gained nothing over the 12-24. The 14mm was F2.8 and so could have gained me something in lower light situations.
The 10-20mm sigma sounds a good option but uses a 82mm filter thread. I intend to carry/use a variable ND and a polariser for photo and video work. the 12-24 uses a 77 mm thread which means that the same filter will fit my 16-50. Saving some pennies and less to carry around.
Thanks for all the comments at least I can now feel comfortable that my initial thoughts were sound and the 12-24 is the way to go.
There are currently 2 ex-display lenses on ebay at £599 and £589 one from the Camera Centre Cardiff and one from the White Group. Both have good feedback scores does anyone have any experience of either?
22 months and I'm still waiting for the call.
