Amazing Wide Angular February 9, 2008

This is a very new product with also good reviews in photography magazines. Best price than canon's own 10-22 zoom and with a practical hood and lens bag.
Fast focusing and very little side picture deformation.
Great deal!!!

A specility Lens That Screams 'Buy-Me' February 8, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
July 29th Update: Bought another as a gift for a friend. That should tell you it's a great lens. That makes 3 copies of this lens I bought and all 3 are flawless. Best Buy for the $$$.
-----------------
March 3, 2008 UPDATE: Still find zero faults with this lens and now keep it on the Rebel XTI all the time. I really love the 10mm extra wide setting. Still a ***** review. I have not found that the f-stop difference between the Sigma and Canon lens (f/4-5.6 vs. f/3.5-4.5) has had any real effect. Hey, my D-40 goes to ISO 3200 if necessary. Not a preferred ISO, but what I'm saying is that except in a few cases, the difference is of little consequence. Technically, that's a down side. The reality is that most folks will use this lens outdoors.
I have a number of Canon 'L' series lenses. They are the best. But, unless you are shooting for NASA, this Sigma lens stacks up with the 'L' series for optical quality for most folks.
There is a difference. The difference is $684.70 vs. $487.60 and it's a big difference. (Both prices via Amazon 3/3/2008) This lens still screams BUY ME!
Original Review:
I'm not a pro but have been taking pix for 40 years. I know what I like and know quality when I have my hands on it. An ultra-wide is not a lens that folks normally use a lot. But, when you need one there's nothing like 10-20mm. It was a tossup between the Sigma 10-20mm and the Canon 10-22mm lens. I chose the Sigma because of the price and some other great reviews.
Quality of the Sigma, in many unbiased test reviews, shows little, if any, differences from the higher priced canon. On both my XTI and 40d the lens does a great job. My recommendation? Buy it. Since I've had mine I was convinced to buy another Sigma lens. The pictures are very sharp. The color and contrast is great and I've probably shot 300 pix with it so far.
Great lens February 8, 2008
This is the lens I've always needed. When you have to shot in tight spaces this is the perfect lens. Finally I can get all the elements I need in one shot and not have to go into Photoshop and splice two or three shots together. A great lens with sharp focus.
