REVIEW: Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM
With a brighter f/3.5 aperture, the new Sigma 10-20mm lens will be better for low-light photographers. Priced at ￡440, does the new lens warrant the price tag?
Pros:
- Very good resolution
- Good build quality
- Excellent value
- Low levels of Chromatic Aberrations
Cons:
- 82mm filter size
- Stiff manual focus ring

Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM Lens Review
Released earlier this year, the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM is a mouthful to say but a true pleasure to work with. I begrudgingly write this review because it means I have to send the test lens back to Sigma…. …and I really don't want to!

Lens Test: Sigma 10-20mm F/3.5 EX DC HSM AF
Sigma's widest nonfisheye and fastest ultrawide zoom, the constant-aperture 10-20mm f/3.5 belongs to the EX family of sturdily built, optically gifted Sigmas. To control multiple forms of aberration, it uses three low-dispersion glass elements and four aspheric elements-the most of any Sigma.

Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM Lens Review
The well-built Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM Lens, at review time, is one of only a few lenses in the ultra-wide angle APS-C lens class to have a fixed maximum aperture. While f/3.5 is not what I typically consider wide/fast, the fixed maximum aperture allows a constant wide open aperture exposure...

Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM review by mearussi
I bought this lens specifically over the Sigma 8-16 because I needed it to accept 80A filters and have a constant f3.5 aperture because I do a lot of both low light handheld and tripod night shooting.
Pros:
- constant f3.5
- accepts filters
Cons:
- though the center is sharp at all focal lengths and apertures it is almost useless at 10-12mm due to poor edge sharpness and very high lateral color starting about 30% out from the center

I bought it instead of Sigma 10-20/4.5-5.6 with good discount price. For such price very good wide zoom lens for crop cameras. When buy try to check a few copied due bad Sigma quality control. My copy is really perfect. For higher price check Tokina 11-16/2.8, but for me zoom range is not enough
Pros:
- Fast and accurate focus
- Sharp in center even open at 3.5 at 10 mm
- Very reasonable sharpness in corners after 7.1
- Overall picture quality better compared to Sigma 10-20/4.5-5.6 and Sony 11-18/4.5-5.6
Cons:
- Some CA at 3.5 in corners
- No after 4.5
- Could be less distortion in corners at 10-12 mm

This Sigma wide-angle comes in at a very reasonable price for what it is and for its features. It's also available for plenty of lens mounts. This lens is considered by some photographers as the benchmark for APS-C wide-angles, though our tests suggest this may not now be the case.

Great lens
This is a great quality performing lens. I have had the Sigma 10-20mm 3.5 for 5 years and I cannot fault it.

f3.5 aperture throughout the entire zoom range and is perfect for low light photography. Sigma wide angle lenses accentuate the relationship of subjects within a photo and thus become an important creative tool.

Sigma AF 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM - Review / Test Report
The build quality of the lens is excellent. It features the crinkle style finish typical for Sigma EX lenses, both zoom and focus ring are damped, the latter a little stiff, though.
