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.

Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens Review
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM is one of Sigma's professional grade ultra wide zoom lenses. The build quality of Sigma's EX marked lenses rivals that of Canon's L series lenses. This lens falls into this category - it looks and feels sturdy.

Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Review
Using such a wide angle-of-view presents a whole host of fresh creative possibilities and since buying this lens, I rarely use any other focal range to shoot landscape images.

Since the introduction of cropped sensor dSLR's, wildlife and sports photographers have been happy, whereas landscape and architectural photographers have not been such a contented bunch.
Pros:
- Good performance
- nudging excellent at the wide end
- Ability to use standard filters
- Weight
- size and handling
- Price
Cons:
- Softish edges in middle of range
- Slight pincushion at 20mm end

I bought one of these lenses and am very happy with its sharpness and overall performance for the buck.

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!

Though this corrected 10-20mm lens from Sigma comes at a relatively cheap price, it doesn't strike you as cheap when you use it. It has a real quality feel, enhanced with the matt finish that's standard with a Sigma EX series lens.
