Beautiful photo, I love the use of lines and vanishing point perspective that UWA lenses can give and this would stand up as an interesting shot even without the boy!
I'm considering a similar zoom as 18mm isn't wide enough for me, but the Pentax 12-24 is looking the favourite. Have you tried it? |

Thanks William! No, I didn't consider the Pentax 12-24. This one just came along, for a reasonable price, second hand. So I decided quickly.... And in the end I am happy with the 2 extra mm's in the lower end....

Well... as always: are you a pixelpeeper, or a photographer who wants to use it in real life settings?
The distortion in de edges is, especially with moving objects, noticeable. So, for street shots it is not the easiest lens to use. But for landscapes I like it, and also for architecture. There are lenses with a better corner to corner sharpness, I guess, but it doesn't disturb me....
Here is a link with my photos with this lens on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rensehaveman/sets/72157627863074512/ Some are cropped slightly though, so there is no original 'corner to corner'....

Great picture and some more great images on your flick, you have for sure a good eye (and a good knowledge with PP) and that makes your street shoots so interesting, doesn't matter the lens you use when you've got talent....

Excellent composition. I'm looking at getting a wide zoom and that Tamron looks a decent lens. |

when i had my original dslr, sony a100, my favorite lens was sigma 10-20mm. like yours, it was sharp, great color and tremendos amount of fun in both lamdscape and street situations. ive recently been enjoying film street work with the 25mm skopar, but have been contemplating the wider digi option of olly 9-18 for ep2. yours is an inspiration.
