San Diego - Midway Battleship pictures

[dean]

Here are some pics from when I took the Midway battleship tour in San Diego. This freakin' ship was HUGE. First time being on a ship like this. It was pretty awesome. Each link in the anchor picture below weighs 150pds each.

nice shots dean!!! what lens?

[dean]

Hey thanks. All of them were taken with my Sigma 10-20mm wide angle. This lens rocks.

[Brady]

sheesh...i'll say so..i was looking at the tokina 12-24 it seems to be pretty nice. Not sure though now that i've seen the 10-20.

[dean]

The Tokina is a good lens. It's mad heavy like a tank, and it has an excellent build quality and having the constant F/4 is pretty nice; however, having the extra 2mm makes a difference with the Sigma. I would go for the Sigma. It is super fast focusing and quiet. Popular Photgraphy magazine did a ultra-wide lens shoot out and the Sigma won out of the Tamron, Tokina and Sigma. The Tokina was 2nd place. If you already have the kit lens, no need to overlap so much with the 12-24 with your 18-55.
