Having just bought the new Sigma 12-24mm I have to disagree with you John. I have not tested it directly against the Nikon BUT on the Fuji S2 it surprised me. For nearly 20 years I used Contax 35mm including the 18mm Distagon (same angle of view as the 12mm on the Fuji) and I have been very pleasantly surprised by the Sigma and it cost me about the same today as the Contax did 20 yrs ago. BTW years ago I tested the early Sigma zooms and decided I would get better result with a milk bottle blu-tacked to the camera, since then Sigma seem to have caught up, at least with their EX lenses.
