Product Description:
10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens allows enjoyment of super wide-angle photography and it is a very powerful tool for indoor shooting and landscape photography with digital SLR cameras. Wide angle of view (102.4 degrees at 10mm and 63.8 degrees at 20mm) offers the photographer greater freedom of expression. 3 Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements are employed for effective compensation of color aberration, which is a common problem with super-wide angle lenses. One piece of glass mold and two hybrid aspherical lenses, offer excellent correction for distortion, as well as all types of aberration. This lens is equipped with an inner focusing system, and the models which are equipped with HSM system provide quiet, high speed autofocus shooting and also offer full time manual focusing. It has a minimum focusing distance of 24cm at all focal lengths. The non-rotating lens barrel perfectly suits the petal shaped lens hood. A circular polarizing filter can also be used conveniently. Angle of View - 102.4 - 63.8 degrees 6 Diaphragm Blades Minimum Aperture F22 Minimum Focusing Distance - 24cm/9.4 inches Maximum Magnification - 1 - 6.7 Filter Size - Diameter 77mm Lens Hood Petal Hood Dimensions - Diameter 83.5mm x Length 81mm, 3.3 x 3.2 inches Weight - 470 gram (16.6 ounces)

Amazon.com Product Description:
Designed exclusively for Canon digital SLR cameras, the ultra-wide-angle 10-20mm offers a view from 102.4 to 63.8 degrees, making it ideal for landscape photography and other vast applications. The lens is distinguished by its three special low dispersion (SLD) glass elements, which effectively compensate for color aberration, and its aspherical lenses, which provide maximum correction for distortion and various aberrations. As a result, the lens produces an extremely high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The HSM-equipped models, meanwhile, produce fast autofocus (AF) speeds and quiet shooting while still letting you perform full-time manual focus. Other details include a minimum focusing distance of 9.4 inches at all focal lengths and an integral petal-type hood to block out extraneous light.

Lens Elements and Coating
The new multilayer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghost--a common problem with digital cameras--while also creating an optimal color balance throughout the entire zoom range. At the same time, the lens offers three SLD glass elements that effectively compensate for color aberration, along with a piece of glass mold and two hybrid aspherical lenses that offer excellent correction for distortion and all types of aberration.

Inner Focusing System and HSM
The lens incorporates an internal focusing system that eliminates front lens rotation, letting you use a petal-type hood to protect from additional glare. And models equipped with a Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) produce silent, high-speed autofocus and full-time manual focus for Sigma, Canon, and Nikon D-mount lenses.

Best Consumer Lens
The Sigma 10-20mm lens is so respected that it was named the best consumer lens in Europe (2006) by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), a collection of 31 publications from 12 countries. According to TIPA, the 10-20mm lens offers a versatile range of wide-angle focal lengths, a good optical performance, and a budget price, making it an excellent investment for owners of DSLRs with APS-C format sensors. Its sharpness remains constant throughout the zoom range, and its compact size makes it an ideal companion for shooting travel, landscapes, or architectural subjects.

- Fantastic!
This lens is great! I got it for under $200 because it was open-box, so I'm extra lucky. :-)

A lot of people have been complaining about the sharpness, but mine at least is perfectly fine everywhere. Note that the aperture is somewhat low, so you may need a flash (and the pop-up won't do because of lens shadow). Otherwise you may need to stay outside. Keep that in mind when you buy it, but that shouldn't really confine you too much.

Also know that the image will of course ... Read More

- go canon
had both this and the canon. you get what you pay for. and you get better pictures with the canon wide glass on your camera. less distortion. and more vivid color. I returned the sigma.

- Fantastic wide angle lens
This is the lens that spends about 90 percent of the time on my 20D (I have six lenses!). In fact, I forgot I even owned the Sigma 10-20 until I looked. The lens has very good build quality and the zoom touch is superb. I never really even look at the lens or realize that it's there!

Images are very good, always good colors, tones and good sharpness and saturation. The wide angle offers a little distortion but that is to be expected on 10mm!

The zoom range is somewhat ... Read More

- The best non-Canon lens I've ever used!
I've owned many lenes of all different brands but most of which have been Canon L series. This was my first time to own and use a lens from Sigma. The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM copy that I bought here on amazon is as close to an L series lens as I have ever used. I reserched many lenses from Canon, Sigma, Tamron, etc. and I was concerned that because the Sigma lens is not a Canon brand that it might have communication issues with my Canon 20D body as some of the other non-Canon brand lenes I've used. ...

the build quality of this Sigma lens is very solid. the HSM(Hyper Sonic Motor) focus extremely fast. to believe it or not, i actually use this lens to photography a lot of full body portrait, and the results are very sharp. at f8-f11, it is very sharp! i own a lot of lens, and i could say this is one of the lenses i use the most. this Sigma 10-20 is great for outside landscape, and works very well for indoor as well. i use it at 10mm w/ F4 when photograph people indoor, and for event photography, because i ...
