Digital camera reviews of Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Great glass
Summary: 5 Stars
This is really a fabulous Lens. You can read all about the technical stuff somewhere else.
A word of caution when ordering through amazon though. If you need it right away, make sure it's being shipped by Amazon, and not a third party.
I had ordered this, an paid for expedited shipping. It was still almost a week before it arrived.
If you need it the next day, get it from B&H
Digital camera Review: Great lens for a great value
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this lens for over a month and I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with the performance. I think this may be one of the most underrated lenses out on the market today. I think there is an inclination for semi-pro and pro photographers to discount Sigma lenses because they are not a Nikon or Canon lens, but I respectfully disagree, you can find gems out there and this is one of them. I have used the lens in two shoots with my Nikon D300 and am happy with the level of sharpness.
The down side: vignetting and the f5.6. f5.6 you can overcome with your lighting, but the vignetting although not offensive does exist and is not something you can really compensate for. I tested a colleagues lens before purchasing this lens and I was aware of it going into my purchase. If that is not a concern of yours or you are like me and you embrace it and use it in your photographs, then you will be satisfied.
Overall this was a lens I kept pushing off purchasing for one reason or the other and it was a mistake. I now realize that I could have been using this on other shoots and landscape photography a long time ago.
Digital camera Review: Great lens for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really great lens. I purchased this primarily due to a [...] recommendation. I just returned from a trip to the Arctic and used this lens (along with my Nikon 18-200mm) on my Nikon D90 quite a bit during my 3 week cruise aboard a scientific vessel.
You can view some of the photos as examples here: [...]
It gives a nice soft photo and ease of use is amazing. I am new to the ultra wides and I am glad that I made this as my first ultra wide purchase. It just may lead me down the path to purchase more sigmas in the future.
Digital camera Review: Great lens for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this lens for taking photos for a newspaper.
It is plenty sharp for my needs and allows for interesting shots.
It fits all three of my Nikon cameras.
Would recommend it to anyone wanting a new perspective in their photographs!

Digital camera Review: Great lens for wide angle photography
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this lens for capturing landscape photos. It's solidly built, takes great photos and never has given me any problems. It very heavy for it's size -- a lot heavier than it looks. I guess that means it's built like a tank!
