armando_roldan Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I just got a 15-30mm Sigma yesterday for my D70 and then placed it on my F100 and got an amazing wide angle view unlike anything I seen before since a 19-35mm WA zoom was the widest thing I had. Does this lens cause vigenetting on the film camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetR Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi Armando. No, it does not vignette on 35mm film camera bodies. But don't try to filter it from the front. Use the little metal plate provided as a template to cut gelatine filters to go at the back of the lens. Regards, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonhamilton Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 decent wide angle, but that lens's distortion properties bug me. If you want a really good wide angle, get the sigma EX HSM 14mm aspherical lens. THAT thing is bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael erlich Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I've used the Sigma 15-30 on both the F100 and D100 and on the film body I've noticed some light falloff, but no vignetting. At wide apertures and wide focal lengths the corners are a little dark, but the falloff is gone by F/8. It's a fine lens for both film and digital, but I now have the Nikon 12-24 DX for the D100. Awesome piece of glass. Enjoy your Sigma, I got a lot of use out of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_malkin Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 so wide it will make your head spin. try walking with it and looking thru the viewfinder. it might just make you throw up. rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armando_roldan Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 RAY: how is the sigma 12-24 lense on film body?? I didn't want to spend an extra $200 to find out I couldn't use the 12-24mm Sigma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
