This is an eceptional lens considering the price. If you are a perfectionist and want to do all sorts of lens test, this is not for you. But, if you are into photography and wand exceptional images this lens will work just fine and produce incredible images at a budget price. from Amazon.com I have a Nikon D60 which right-off-the-bat limits which lenses you can use because it has no motor in the body. I really wanted a wide angle lens for an upcoming trip to Hawaii so I started investigating and all the Nikkor wide-angle lenses that would work with the D60 were well over $1000. So a friend turned me onto the Sigma 10-20mm and after seeing what it could do for a very reasonable price, I bought it. from Amazon.com This is my first non-Canon lens, and before I pulled the trigger on purchasing it I researched the heck out of it online. I can honestly say that Sigma didn't disappoint me. They delivered me a lens that matched the enormous respect it has in the photographic community. from Amazon.com I use this lens on my Canon 40D, and it has become my favorite lens (I also have a 50mm f/1.8, 70-300mm zoom, and 28-135 IS). It's a great lens for doing creative HDR photography, as well as just getting a different perspective on everyday shots. from Amazon.com the edges were still a bit blurred. Then i set the camera on timer to see if maybe it is "user error" but the edges of the 3rd round of shots were still not sharp. i went back on amazon to read all the 1-3 star reviews to see why people did not like the lens and realized that Sigma had a quality control issue (wished i read it before) i probably still would have crossed my fingers and bought it though.. Anyway. from Amazon.com This is a fine lens for superwide applications, and I endorse it. I just wish I could get a 10mm single focal length to carry. from Amazon.com very very wide, without fisheye'ing. quiet. focus is dead on, which is a worry for 3rd party lenses. dislikes: from Amazon.com That being said, when it comes to people, it's a little more problematic. Even at 16-17mm, you get distortion at the edges, so if you're shooting groups, they will be stretched/elongated. The good news is that, at 20mm, it's fairly unnoticeable. So, if you're shooting more formal pictures, rack the lens out to 20mm and move your body or tripod. from Amazon.com First, this is not my first UWA lens. When it comes to ultra-wides, I've had my share. From the Tokina 11-16/2.8 (sold cause the range was too limited), two copies (one Nikon, one Canon) of the Tokina 12-24/4 and the Tokina 10-17 fisheye, I've tried most of them out there. (Sorry, I'll not spend a dime on a EF-S lens again. from Amazon.com Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras from Amazon.com
