This sales guy is looking out for his pocketbook not yours (better
commission for him). The 12-24 Nikkor is a great lens the 2 bad
things are it is made for only the APS sized sensor cameras, D50,D70
etc. and it has a bit of chromatic aberration but that can be fixed.
The sigma will work on full frame cameras I think but it is not as
sharp as the Nikkor. If you buy only the pro lenses you won't get bit
too many times with Nikon. Every ED IS (Pro) lens I have bought has
been awesome! They are expensive though but you get what you pay for.
Also the 10.5mm full frame fisheye is an awesome lens for VR work and
very sharp!
