SIGMA 10 -20 mm wide angle

Hi Guys, anyone got that lens? Any suggestions is it good?

[Robert]

yes I have it (on a Canon 40D). Very good lens, and I have seen lots of good reviews.

I believe that some early copies (when first introduced a few years ago) had some teething problems, but if you are buying it new that should not be a problem. I actually bought mine second-hand, but still under warranty,  from someone moving up to a full frame camera, but I am very happy with it

With a crop sensor (my Canon is a 1.6 crop) it gives a good effective range (35mm equiv =16-32mm). From what I have read, the canon 10-22 is perhaps marginally (but only marginally) better, but is considerably more expensive.

I don't know the situation with other brands - you didn't say what camera you have. It is designed for a digital crop sensor camera,  but I presume that's what you have. But if you were planning to move to a full frame camera any time soon, it might not be the best option as it wouldn't work with it and you would have to replace it.

Hope that helps.

Hej Robert, thanks for the advice, would use that with D200 so no problem at all, just trying to get something good (and not much expensive) for shooting mainly landscapes so I came up with that idea and looking for a S10-20 reviews. Thanks
