The HSM equipped models makes fast AF speeds and quiet shooting a reality, and it is also capable of full-time manual focus. It has a minimum focusing distance of 9.4" (24cm) at all focal lengths. It is also equipped with an integral Petal-type hood to block out extraneous light.

Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM review
At the budget end of the market, Sigma and Tamron are the major scrappers and Sigma's 10-20mm lens is the cheaper of the two. Despite its low cost compared with lenses from Nikon and Canon, the Sigma feels robust and has silent HSM autofocus.

Good if you need, but not a starter lens
I wanted a wide angle lens to round out my lens collection. I read some review on Amazon and it seemed like this was a good lens to start with. It is a bit pricey for someone who does not need a wide angle lens, but I wanted it for landscapes and shooting home interiors.
Pros:
- landscapes
- interiors

For a while, I had really been wanting to get an UWA for my 40D and decided to try the Sigma out. I have to say my copy has been excellent. Focus is quick, though i've mostly used this lens with landscapes so speed was never an issue.
Pros:
- wide angle for crop
- my copy is darn sharp
- solid build
- relatively cheap
Cons:
- not constant aperture

Sigma AF 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC (Pentax K) - Review / Test Report
The Sigma AF 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC showed an pretty impressive performance with a few bugs. The resolution characteristic is generally very good to excellent except in the extreme corners at 10mm which are a bit soft at large aperture settings.

Has it's uses, but not good where a flash is required
I bought this for two reasons... first so that I could better capture landscapes on family vacations.... I always hated the fact that my pictures never truely reflected the width of the view that I was seeing. I also bought it hoping to get better indoor event pictures (kids birthday parties, etc).
Pros:
- Great for landscape pictures
Cons:
- Don't try to use this indoors or for close pictures that require a flash

Good ultra wide lens for the value
This is a great lens for its cost. The counterpart Canon or Nikon costs near 1k. It gives you super wide angle. The build is solid. The HSM focus is very fast. One weak point is the F/4-5.6 aperture. At the 24mm, F5.6 make it not a fast lens.
Pros:
- Solid design
- ultra wide angle
- reasonable price
Cons:
- Small aperture
- only good for DX format

It's OK...now I've got used to it.
Truth is.. I've been spoiled.All my life with Nikons, I've only ever used Nikkor lenses.Call me a gl
Pros:
- Looks good - a classy gold ring up front! Comes with a lens hood and pouch
Cons:
- Heavy
- but then look at the focal-length range involved!
