Pick the Sigma 12-24mm if you need the ultra-wide 12mm reach for landscapes, architecture, or tight interiors and can accept the dimmer f/4.5 aperture. The Sigma 17-35mm stays the better choice if you prefer a brighter f/2.8 aperture for low light or faster shutter speeds and don’t require focal lengths below 17mm.
