Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DS HSM
The Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DS HSM ($1,100 list) is a lens that either speaks directly to your soul or you find nearly impossible to use effectively. It's available for Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Sony/Minolta, and Pentax APS-C cameras , where it produces a field of view equivalent to 12-24mm in classic 35mm...
Pros:
- Very, very wide
- One-of-a-kind lens
Cons:
- Extreme distortion on the wide end
- Relatively slow aperture
- Softer at wide angles

One of the best lenses to make it into my lens bag since 2006
I was lacking a really short lens for Landscape ..... fisheyes don't hold it for me but a really short,sharp lens with good control of barreling does. This is probably the only lens out there that has all the above features in spades .....

Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM review by Yucel
I love the Tokina 11-16mm... Recently got a D800... So was investigating options. Tried the 12-24mm Sigma version II... I prefer the corner sharpness and image usability in the 8-16 shoot DX on the D800 over shooting the 12-24 FX on the D800... The 12-24 is going back to Adorama...
Pros:
- Wide, so very wide
- Price is so very reasonable, Sharp, pretty sharp
Cons:
- Not FX ..
- But good enough in DX even on FX

Great REALLY wide angle zoom
If you're in the market for a very wide angle zoom, this one is certainly worth considering.While there is distortion, that's to be expected with this type lens. The images it produces are, in a word, sharp.Its maximum f-stop tends to make shooting dim interiors difficult without a support
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Poor in Low Light

inspite of weakness on 8 mm with recommendation of this lens
Pros:
- very good sharpness at 12-16 up to the corners
- If stopped down a few very nice pictures high contrast and beautiful colors
Cons:
- expensive
- some CA's especially on 8 mm

This lens is a joy to use. I have taken some great photos with it. I have it's big brother, the 12-24 V2 and it is easily as good as that, if not better, but on a Canon crop it is equivalent to 13-26, not 12-24.I still don't understand why people on this forum give poor ratings to what is obviously...
Pros:
- Compact and light
- fast to focus
- razor sharp
- image quality
- build quality
Cons:
- None

Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM
Funhouse of a lens for dramatic effect. Allows shots likely impossible with most other lenses. Not a low-light lens - don't even think about it. Unmatched for carshow, airshow, nature shots where wide is what you want. long end fairly sharp.
Pros:
- Wiiiiide
- Great for confined spaces
- Amazing perspective in right circumstance
- Reasonably priced, considering
- Long end fairly sharp
Cons:
- Easy to shoot your feet accidentally
- Forget using it in low light
- Distortion at periphery at 8mm but what would you expect Not FX
- Funky lens cap thingie
