I am an amateur and bought this lens for my D90 for landscapes.
I had considered the 10-24 Sigma but after going through the various reviews opted for this.
I have had no regrets at my level of photography and have some great shots with it.
I have had no regrets. The focus is fast and the colours great. I shot in RAW and process in Lightroom 4.
