Digital camera reviews of Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: I am Impressed
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only just received this lens so I will be giving you my first impressions. I will follow up in a couple of weeks with an in depth review.
First impression is BIG. The lens is big, physically, and it's a WIDE view after using my Canon 18-55mm. It feels solid, well built with everything moving very smoothly and no noise. It locks on to my Canon 300D and 400D XTi solidly with no slop and responds to all commands, AF, Av, Tv, etc.
I have taken half a dozen shots and they have all been clear and sharp without enlarging or in depth investigation. Distortion is typical of what you would expect in this focal length, exaggerating all the mid range distortions. I did manage to get some very respectable non-distorted images by carefully controlling the angles of the POV.
The last observation is that it looks good. I mean it's dressed up a little with the gold band and ribbing.
I am very happy with this lens so far. I will update this review after I play with it a little more in depth.
Digital camera Review: I could not find the Canon lense..... but WOW!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for the Canon lense that a professional photographer recommended. I stumbled on the Sigma lense and love it. The price was right, and the colors are amazing. I don't think you can go wrong with this lense. I have been a sigma user before as I was building my camera bag and I just wanted a wide lense to get cool landscape pictures. This was the one.Digital camera Review: I fell in love with the Canon 10-22mm
Summary: 3 Stars
I had high hopes of a good sigma copy but ordered the canon 10-22mm at the same time to compare. I swapped out the lenses taking pictures at the same scenes and noticed some significant basic differences in photo quality just looking at the photos side by side. That was all I needed to fall in love with the canon. Maybe I could have exchanged the sigma until I found a copy I liked, but I am too busy with the canon.Digital camera Review: I guess I got a good one
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read the few reviews about getting grey market lenses and lenses with poor quality optics, but this lens takes a sharp picture for me at any stop and from zoomed out to zoomed in. Auto focus is a little off sometimes, but otherwise this is a great lens. It feels like it has a great build quality to boot.Digital camera Review: I love this lens
Summary: 4 Stars
Great picture, very wide angle. You can't get wider than this without going to some really specialized lenses. It works well for indoor photography to get the whole room, or for landscapes to pick up the whole scene.
I wish the apature would go wider than 4.5, but overall it's a great lens.
