Great image quality!
The lens is very sturdy and the image is great in day light. The images are very sharp but its not that great for night photography. If you are looking to buy this lens, I suggest you check out the real item or silmilar items because 8-16mm is really wide.
Pros:
- SUPER and I mean SUPER wide
Cons:
- Wight
- Not great for night photography

For the sole purpose of wide angle photography, the Sigma 8-16mm lens is the benchmark. The images are surprisingly sharp. An engineering marvel!

The right choice for super-wide
Never bought a Sigma before, and I had read that some of their wide-angle lenses felt a bit cheap. Pleased to say the 8-16mm looks and feels like the reasonably premium lens that it is. Nice and weighty, smooth focus and zoom rings, and a very snug fit to my A700 a-mount.All lenses are compromises.
Pros:
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Slow Focus

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.
