Digital camera reviews of Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Much better then Canon Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
This is now my second Sigma lens, after having a canon lens that ended up with white flakes on the inside glass and being told by their support that I would be charged for repairing it.
They can keep their product.
I have been using the 10-20mm for about two months now and find it fantastic! The glass is crystal clear and I find that there is no blur on the edges of the images. I am not going to go into the specifics as you can read about them on the Sigma site. I have showed and sold five images in the last month with this lens and that just speaks for itself.
Some people have complained about the weight of Sigma but I prefer it as it makes a more solid platform to shot from if shooting free hand.
If you would like to see some of the images go to www.greenberimages.com, some were shot with the 10-20mm and others with the Sigma 18-200mm another good choice.
Digital camera Review: My Favorite Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this lens on my Canon 40D, and it has become my favorite lens (I also have a 50mm f/1.8, 70-300mm zoom, and 28-135 IS). It's a great lens for doing creative HDR photography, as well as just getting a different perspective on everyday shots.Digital camera Review: My first non-Canon lens...impressive
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens is 2 things: wide and sharp! The wide angle is incredible, even on a cropped body like my 40D. The images are super sharp, especially when you get around f/8 or f/11. Colors are beautiful, contrast is great, and then lens is built like a tank. I love the outer coating this lens has. It feels very rugged. The zoom and the focus are smooth and controlled. The included petal hood works great. For my first non-Canon lens, I am thrilled!Digital camera Review: Nice lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I like colours and shapes from the pictures taken with this lens (but more colours).
I am just an photograph amateur which like this lens.
Digital camera Review: Nice price for a great lens
Summary: 5 Stars
Sigma continues to impress me. My one pricey Canon-brand lens (28-70 f/2.8 L) has color-fringe problems, and my two Sigmas (this one and the very sweet APO 70-200 f/2.8 EX DG HSM) are dead-on correct and free of chromatic aberration. My chief complaints about this lens are fairly irrelevant since they center around its inherent design:
1) variable aperture (makes you have to change your flash settings if you shoot manual)
2) it's not a f/2.8 lens
I was aware of these design specifications (not issues or surprises) before buying and am pleased with it despite them. That's the tradeoff you get for a great price.
It's nice to have a true wide-angle lens back in my arsenal, since the 28-70 combines with my 1.6x sensor size factor to become a 45-112, hardly wide.
To anyone considering buying the lens, just be aware that it's not for full-frame cameras. If you don't know what this means, or aren't sure what yours is, read the manual.
The field of view is an immense 102° side-to-side, and it focuses down to about 6" from the subject at 10mm.
