I did a project on christianity. I got some shots of churches around boston then had my friend pose for some shots illustrating the 7 deadly sins and 10 commandments. These are a few of my favorites:

WOW, I am having a super hard time deciding between the

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6

Flickr: Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
Flickr: Sigma 10-20mm

Both have amazing qualities and I was hoping maybe someone here had some experience with either lens.

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 06-15-2009 11:29 AM

Id take the tokina

I haven't ever been this excited about a [digital] camera

This will be awesome with the kit lens, but it'll also take my OM lenses. I really can't wait, it so sad.

Yeah, I`m pretty exited about this one as well, first digital "compact" I`d ever wanted actually.

The 17mm with the viewfinder is what I`d want. Would be a killer "walkaround" kit.

**lexx** · 06-16-2009 03:38 PM

that's exactly what I want blix. It sounds like we'll be getting it in our store as soon as next week.

I'm thinking of throwing down a pre-order for the 17mm kit, with viewfinder and OM lens adapter.
Honestly the first digital camera I've considered buying other than joking about putting a D700 on credit.

I've posted this site many times, but right now The Big Picture - Boston.com is really on form with it's photos from Iran (including posting the one you just put up).
