Owning a Olympus E5 I have always wanted the Zuiko 7-14mm but the price was just to high. I have recently moved to Sony and picked up this lens for less than half the cost of the 7-14mm. With the crop factor it is actually 2mm wider than the Zuiko. The Sigma is a well made lens.
Pros:
- Build quality
- Sharp
- nice smooth focus ring
- price
Cons:
- Can't use an ND grad
- Can flare easily

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
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

It's like having a full frame camera now
Fabulous. It's like having a full frame camera now. If you shoot landscapes or architecture this lens is a must.

Very hard to correct chromatic aberrations, strange colors. Sharp. Tried on Canon 80d and returned after a couple of days. ( real estate photographer)

Not bad, but not for me.
This lens did give me good, sharp images- once I figured it out. I bought this primarily for real estate interiors and urbex photography. One of the very first things I noticed about this lens, was it gave dark images.
