Thanks useful information: 7
I have the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 and find it quite good at the Go Karts. AF is good and I get some great wide and close up shots with it.

11-16 vignettes a lot on full frame past 15mm from the examples a friend posted in the US. Works though. I also have the Tokina and I am happy with it. Flares like a bitch though when pointed towards the sun.

I finally added the Canon 10-22 to my kit.
Shopped around for prices on Australian Stock, found one listed for $685, emailed PhotoContinental in Brisbane and they beat the price by another $10.
They thanked me for bringing the price to their attention, and have since reduced the price on their website to $675.

Well folks, far from only hearing about it, I can now VOUCH for the Σ 8-16. I have been using it extensively on this trip and wouldn't have been happy w/o it.
Now pls note: I do not wish to advocate you buy it, this is just what I have experienced.
William, for distortion, it is very good rectalinearly. The distortion that you get is the type of "Mercator projection" type where the edges of the field stretch some. - sometimes a good some. But it is not very noticeable on landscapery. It has approximately 150 degree FOV at f=8mm. Sharpness everywhere is NOT an issue, at several f-stops that I have tried.
A FAQ:
So why no pics?
A: I have just returned from a 7-day cruise where telecommunications cost the earth - though we were all at sea - and I still only have the little lap-dog computer. It takes about 5 mins to process a single image. So pls wait a little longer.

CC, Image editing OK.
