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.

Sigma AF 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM (DX) - Review / Lab Test Report
Their latest addition (as of the time of this review) is the Sigma AF 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM. Besides being the most extreme rectilinear ultra-wide lens on the market it is also the first one to sport Sigma's latest new innovation - FLD glass elements.

The Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM is the only one of its kind. This is the first ultra wide zoom lens with a minimum focal length of 8mm, designed specifically for APS-C size image sensors.

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

Super, super, superwide!
This is my favourite lens without a shadow of a doubt. It's superb for landscapes and producing amazingly artistic photos from all manner of subjects. It's sharp as a knife and tough too.

With mounts for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma and Sony, the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM is the widest APS-C optic on the market... It offers a full-frame equivalent focal length of 12-24mm and has a variable maximum aperture of f/4.5-5.6.

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.

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

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
