Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6

My first real wideangle for the DX bodies and a real lens love. I have shot close to 15,000 frames with this lens to date, and it's now so battered up that it's in dire need of a replacement Scarred, worn and scratched on the ouside, hood lost to the abyss of the fishing water. But the glass is clean and the lens still performs very well optically.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4

A great and bright normal lens from Sigma that acts more like a short telephoto lens on my DX bodies. Great for portraits on DX, very shallow DOF and really nice bokeh - and of course very bright. I love to shoot with this lens wide open.

Sigma 20mm f/1.8

I've always liked two things in my lenses: wide angle and brightness. Combine the two and you have a winner!

Sigma 10-20mm

My Sigma 10-20 - the hood has since been lost to the ocean
My acquisition of a Sigma 10-20mm wideangle zoom many years ago was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, to quote Bogart in Casablanca. It is just my kind of lens.

Life starts at f/1.8

I have always loved bright lenses. If money was no issue, all my lenses would have f/1.4 and f/1.8 stamped on them. A few slow ones would be f/2.8, but only the slow ones...

As sharp as any macro I've worked with

Sigma EX D 15mm f/2.8 fisheye

I love fisheye images, and this lens gives me the option at a very fair price
