Taken inches from the mirror...

Taken inches from the mirror..., originally uploaded by Daniel Bott.

I haven't really been keeping up with the blogging lately, but I did recently get a new lens, so I figured I'll keep my readers (basically my Dad) updated.

I picked up a Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6 for my D700. This is currently the widest lens you can use on an FX sized sensor without going for a fisheye. I have taken a handful of shots with it so far and its holding up really nicely. It seems to be sharp and gives a great wide perspective.

I plan on going out to shoot a bit with it this afternoon, so maybe I will update after that goes down.

This shot was taken in front of a mirror. The lens is actually about 2-3" away from the mirror if that gives you any idea of how wide this thing actually goes.
