does the tokina 11-16, or tokina 12-24 have a sharper image compared to this one? which of the 3 lenses do you prefer?

[QQQQcon]

@SawDogProductions I would say both tokinas are better than the sigma. 12-24 for landscape photography, 11-16mm for low light.

everyone talks about f stops for speed. if you doing landscapes you also want to consider f stops for colour

[Whatisright]

@00Q A lot of lenses lose quality past f/11 and f/16 because of diffraction. Knowing what f stop your lens starts to lose quality at is must.

WHY DONT YOU USE A SOFTWARE TO RECORD FROM THE SCREEN ?????

[QQQQcon]

@00Q there are no rules in photography but for most situation f/11 is the sharpest and optimum setting.

[00Q]

@QQQQcon is there a rule to pick numbers between 11-16? or will any fstop do in that range?

[00Q]

@QQQQcon is there a hard rule to choose the numbers between 11-16 ?

[QQQQcon]

@00Q around f/11-f/16

[00Q]

@QQQQcon Thanks, I just bought a second hand 10-20 Sigma lens because it is quite cheap. Quality isnt too great, but I do enjoy the composition the 10mm offers.

When you shoot landscapes with this lens, how do you decide what f/stop to use? for example when to use f8, f11, f16 and f20?

thanks,
