I tryed out the Sigma 14mm today, it seems almost like the perfect underwater lens (almost). I will not leave home with out the lens hood on again , it clearly needs it. It seemed nice and wide..

Any samples????

All of my wide angle shots are shot with the 14mm sigma. You can see some here: Bahamas 2002
Lots of flare from the sun with this lens, but I've made some large prints, and they look great.
-
Flare: is that why you're switching to the 16-35?
-
Good question... Why the leap to the 16-35 "L"
-
Let me ask a stupid question, Infinity on this lens seems to be within inches, why not just focus it at infinity and turn auto focus off?
-
Well, you can't really put a diopter on the 14mm, so I'm going to shoot with the 16-35 with a +4 diopter on it so I can focus closer. That doesn't mean I won't still use the 14mm, though.
As for the infinity question -- can you elaborate on what you mean? Or, maybe someone who knows more about optics can jump in here.
With a wide aperture, fixing focus just doesn't work that well.
