Comments about Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM AF Lens For Canon:
I bought this lens for my daughter for Christmas but only after having one myself for about a year. It is my favorite lens and bought one for her because she wanted it and also because I didn't want to keep sharing. I originally bought it for landscapes - sunrise is my specialty. She started taking portraits with interesting perspectives and one ribbons. I then experimented and use it for many other things.
The sharpness is the best feature. It is so wide that I often have to remember not to get my own feet in the shot. It gives me a creative option I did not have before. We both love this lens.

Comments about Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM AF Lens For Canon:
This lens is mostly being used in landscape photography and sometimes in architectural buildings. Also from macro to group shots.
This lens is build very well, very solid, focus is quick, and basically don't have cons, though I wish sometimes it was f/2.8.

Bought a "puffer" to cover my pop-up flash and diffuse light. It takes care of the dark shadows on the floor due to the angle of the lens.

Comments about Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM AF Lens For Canon:
I recently purchased a Sigma 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 since I plan to be travelling and want to first test out this lens. I have limited budget so I am contemplating between the Sigma and the Tokina (which is hard to get). Canon 10-22mm is another option but that means I have to cough up an extra $300 (I'd rather save the money for different lens). I don't regret my decision to go with the Sigma. What I love about the lens is that it gives an ultra wide-angle view, produces warm color, has a durable and proffesional built. It comes standard with a hood. Zooming in and out feels solid and smooth. This is my third week owning this and I have taken great landscape photos of Chicago twilight with this and am looking forward to testing this out during my trip. I am attaching a sample photo shot with this lens on my XS body. I originally was worried if 4.5-5.6 does not provide big enough aperture, but for the landscape photo purpose, you don't need fast lens, as you will be using tripod anyway. Sigma is releasing a similar lens with fixed f/4 in July for additional $200. To me, it is not worth the upgrade. Good luck with your decision. This lens won't fail you.

Comments about Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM AF Lens For Canon:
Sigma is known for their poor quality control, and alas I got a bum copy of this lens. Asymmetric focusing problems (common with this lens) and a very unpleasant crunching sound when trying to attach and detach the lens, as if the threads were slightly off. I ended up exchanging the lens for a Tamron telephoto...yes, completely different lens, I know, but I'd been looking for a telephoto as well as the super wide-angle.
However, I may try this lens again at some point to see if I get a good copy since the field of view was outstanding for landscapes.

Comments about Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM AF Lens For Canon:
This was the first lens I bought to start upgrading from my Canon XS kit lens 18-55 and 70-300. I suppose when you compare this wide angle EX sigma lens to the kit lenes it kind of make you see how much better quality and build of the lens. I am new to photography and I can even see the picture quality difference with this. I did tons seaching for wide angle lenses and picked this easily over the Canon and def. over the Tamron. Highly recommended
