If you want a lens that's of sturdy construction and takes very sharp wide angle photos then look no further. Little distortion at 10mm and gives an interesting perspective for more close up shots. I like landscape and buildings photography and I get so much more in the shot without have to stitch images together in Photoshop. Even works well for night time photography, got some good photos on a recent trip to Hong Kong!

Pros: * very good image quality in the centre of the field, * good control of the chromatic aberration, * distortion controlled exceptionally well * good work against bright light, * solid workmanship, Cons: * very high vignetting in the whole range of focal lengths , * average image quality at the edge of the field,
Seems to be well made but I need to use it for longer to judge its durability properly. Images are to be sharp for a lens of this price so it represents good value for money and provides interesting wide angle views of subjects. Fits nicely into the case so is easy to carry about.

The crop factor benefit of an apsc sensor in "lengthening" the magnification of a given lens is often given high praise. It isn't often discussed that this is to the detriment of a wide angle lens. The Sigma 10-20 takes care of this limitation by offereing an incredible value for money lens without sacrificing image quality. At 10mm, the apsc crop factor converts this to an equivalent value of 16mm when compared to a full frame sensor body. This lens makes such a difference. The standard lens that comes with most consumer crop factor bodies generally start at 18mm, giving an equivalent wide angle of 29mm. Now it becomes a lot clearer how much more can be captured in cramped interior shots or the grandeur of a big landscape. The only downside is that at 10mm, you're not far off a fisheye lens, and there is noticeable barrel distortion when taking tight shots of people or architecture. This is hardly noticeable in natural landscape shots. With the advent of corrective software in most photo processing software, barrel distortion is easily remedied. You may not use this lens as much as others in your collection, but it's just so good for when you need a wider angle that would otherwise be a missed opportunity.Read full review
Fantastic lens for those wanting to experiment with super wide focal lengths. Picture quality is generally excellent with a fast and accurate autofocus mechanism. It is keenly priced and holds its value in the second hand market. On the downside it feels weighty and some have concerns about barrel distortion and unexpected softness between 11 and 16mm. Overall a decent superwide lens.
