Product Description
10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens allows enjoyment of super wide-angle photography and it is a very powerful tool for indoor shooting and landscape photography with digital SLR cameras. Wide angle of view (102.4 degrees at 10mm and 63.8 degrees at 20mm) offers the photographer greater freedom of expression. 3 Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements are employed for effective compensation of color aberration, which is a common problem with super-wide angle lenses. One piece of glass mold and two hybrid aspherical lenses, offer excellent correction for distortion, as well as all types of aberration. This lens is equipped with an inner focusing system, and the models which are equipped with HSM system provide quiet, high speed autofocus shooting and also offer full time manual focusing. It has a minimum focusing distance of 24cm at all focal lengths. The non-rotating lens barrel perfectly suits the petal shaped lens hood. A circular polarizing filter can also be used conveniently. Angle of View - 102.4 - 63.8 degrees 6 Diaphragm Blades Minimum Aperture F22 Minimum Focusing Distance - 24cm/9.4 inches Maximum Magnification - 1 - 6.7 Filter Size - Diameter 77mm Lens Hood Petal Hood Dimensions - Diameter 83.5mm x Length 81mm, 3.3 x 3.2 inches Weight - 470 gram (16.6 ounces)

 A bit soft on the left side August 29, 2008
The build quality is good and it focuses fast. It's a fun lens to shoot with. I'm happy with the center sharpness but my only gripe is that under certain conditions the photos turn out noticeably soft on the left side.
Other things you might have missed August 26, 2008
I am an active amateur who has done photography for some of the state parks where I live. I shot film for years and recently got into digital work just recently. I just purchased this lens and am very excited to get out to use it. I've done a few shots around my home and I'm quite thrilled with the results.
I'll leave all the technical details to others who have covered them quite well on this and other sites.
But I did want to mention a few things that are not covered or are misrepresented in the reviews you'll see in other places.
- The lens comes with a fairly nice soft case. This is a big plus for me since I like to store my lenses in cases while not in use.
- The lens shade is of very high quality. It also fits snugly.... much better than the Nikon shades which tend to fall off far to easily. I also like the way it attaches. The markings are clear and it easily fits on and tightens as you turn it. There are no cheap latches to worry about breaking.
- There have been many comments made about the lens caps. Ignore them. The front cap is very similar to that Nikon provides. I don't see much of a difference. The rear cap fits much better than the Nikon variety. You will have to note the dot and align it with the corresponding mark on the lens. It has a very tight fit and I actually like it much better than the Nikon branded rear caps. You will have to look at it though to put it on.
Sigma - another great product at half the cost of Nikon's August 15, 2008
Great product. I have used it with my Fuji S5 pro (crop factor 1.5X). At 10mm focal length, I am actually at 15mm (with my camera's crop factor)...quite wide. It's been great for landscape shots. You get a tad bit of vignetting, but they can be fixes with PS or cropped.
Great product...thank you Sigma
Great lens, great price! August 12, 2008
I got this lens recently, and I'm impressed. The photos I've taken with it have turned out great. I just added a multicoated UV filter for protection and a multicoated polarizer for stunning landscapes. Now I just need to work on composition and getting to good locations at the right time! Some have said this lens is "plasticky", but it seems solid to me.
Fantastic value and performance... July 18, 2008

For what I need this lens is fantastic. The widest zoom I can get for my D40 at a great price. The lens feels very well made and sturdy; the photos are sharp. The only thing I don't like about it is the weird finish but that's no big deal. Highly recommended.
