 Great lens for the price November 13, 2006
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've had it a few months now and it's great. Works great with my Canon 20D.
 Very Good Quality Lens September 1, 2006
This is my first ultra-wide lens [for a Canon XT] and it is awesome. Pretty light for a ultra-wide lens in general. The pictures are really sharp and I love the internal focusing mechanism.
Note that you can't use your built-in flash with this because the flash does not cover the lens field of view. The build quality is excellent and it's a pleasure to hold it in your hand. If you take good care of it it will last for very very long.
You have to get a UV filter to protect the lens (from dust, fingerprints and drops of water). A 77mm filter is more expensive than a 58mm filter, but you can get a reasonably cheap one, like the Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter.
Have fun with it

Sigma 10-20mm August 20, 2006

This is my new favorite lens! This lens is sharp at all apertures and takes stunning photos. 10mm is super-fun and I'm having a great time taking wide angle shots. I find that this lens is on my camera most of the time now. Keep in mind, this lens is designed for cameras with a crop-factor- so Canon 5D owners need to look elsewhere.
Also, if you plan on using a flash (430EX/580EX) the use of the built in diffuser panel is a must. If not, the edges of your pictures will be under exposed. With the use of my 430EX (diffuser panel deployed), I'm able to take stunning super-wide angle flash shots. Outside/non-flash, color-reproduction is excellent.
The built of this lens is "sturdy." It looks and feels like a mini tank. It is an EX series lens, so it has the durable black coating which is found on it's big brother- the Sigma 70-200 (another lens which I own and highly reccomend).
I have purchased other lenses from Sigma's other third-party competitor and have been let down. I can't be happier with either of my Sigma lenses.
I highly reccomend this lens. It is my new favorite and is almost ALWAYS on my camera.
Very good ultra wide lens for Canon Digital SLR 300D 350D 10D 20D Rebel XT February 23, 2006

If you are looking good quality and price ultra wide lens for APC-C senser size digital SLR, this lens is a very good choice. Canon also has an EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens. However the price is more than $700. Here is a Sigma, 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM. Sure it's little bit dark than Canon, but it's OK. Usally ultra-wide lens are used at outdoor. The photo is very sharp image and you can take a shot without cropping. And minimum focusing distance if 9.4" (24cm), you can make fun photos! Sigma also provice lens hood and carring case for free!
best value wide angle. February 9, 2006

there are currently 4 wide angle zoom choices available on the EF-S canon mount (d-rebel/xt/20d) canon 10-22, Sigma 12-24, sigma 10-20, tokina 12-24. Of these, sigma 12-24 is the only one which is usuable on a full frame sensor (canon 1d, 5d, possible future cameras). There is sizable difference in field of view between the 10 mm, and 12 mm. and the tokina is closer to 13 mm on its wide end. The sigma retails for about 2/3 the price of the canon. Optically they are very similar, with the canon having a larger maximum aperature, which is generally not important in a wide angle lens. The built construction is EX, they higher line of sigma, and it excellent. The focus motor is HSM, making it fast, and very accurate. Resolution chart show the sharpness to be very close to that of canon. The color and contrast is excellent, the flare and chromatic abberation genenrally well controlled. A fun lens to use, and excellent value.
