Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Review
Sigma makes this lens for a variety of mounts, but only the Nikon, Canon and Sigma mount versions have the HSM, or Hyper Sonic Motor function – Pentax and Sony versions don't. Otherwise the lens is constructed from fourteen elements in ten groups.
Pros:
- Lack of critical sharpness
- poor control over chromatic aberrations
Cons:
- Good build quality

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!

To clarify, I am not an expert, more of an advanced amateur, but there was no option for this, and I'm definitely above Intermediate. Also, I live in the UK so price given is in Pound Sterling. I bought this on eBay from a reputable seller, even after hearing about Sigma's quality control issues.
Pros:
- Build quality
- With my copy, this was definitely the strong point of this lens
- I just cannot fault it
- It's heavy enough to feel solid in the hand, and light enough to not be a chore to carry around
- It feels like it could take a lot of beating, and also gives it an expensive feel, Image Quality.
Cons:
- Corner quality wide open
- Corner quality at wide apertures is always a problem for lenses (for some it's much less of a problems than for others, but corners are generally weaker than the center), but the distortion on this lens definitely doesn't help much, Distortion.

Tremendous Value
At times has a hard time focusing. About a week after I purchased this lens It was dropped while attached to the camera and landed directly on the lens. The only resulting damage was some cracked plastic. I continue to use this lens on a daily basses with no repairs and no complaints.
Pros:
- Durable
- Price
- Very wide
Cons:
- Focus

Works well overall on my Canon Rebel.
I recently was shooting in an area Basilica. The wide-angle allowed me to get the whole interior. Got some great shots.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice field of view
- Rugged
Cons:
- A little stiff to attach
- Sort of heavy
