Sigma's 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 APS-C size image sensors of 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. Three 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 (9.4?) 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.
- HyperSonic Motor. Enables virtually silent, highly responsive auto and manual focusing, as well as manual focus only override
- Excellence. These professional type lenses feature the distinctive EX finish and EX logo on the lens barrel.
- DC (DC Lens) - These are special lenses designed so that the image circle matches the smaller size of the image sensor of most digital SLR cameras. Their specialized design gives these lenses the ideal properties for digital cameras, the compact and lightweight construction is an added bonus ! including compact and lightweight construction.

"I use this lens almost strictly for interior photos of hotel rooms and other various architectural photos. sharp when stopped down. not any CA. Fast Focus, but use center focus point. Compared to the Nikon 12 24 but the extra 2mm wider are worth it, and the nikon wasn't all that impressive for its price. Very similar to the nikon for IQ..." Read Full Review »

"I had to return the lens. My copy was very much soft and out of focus. I ended up buying the Tokina 12-24mm f/4. I didn't want to take a chance on receiving another bad copy of the Sigma. Sigma needs to improve on their QC issues. Shooting at 10mm was great and actually liked the distortion that it would produce as I was also looking at buying a fish eye lens. Found NO CA in my pictures. I like the speed of t..." Read Full Review »

"I use my camera for real estate photos, this lens lets me go places that my 18-55 kit lens could not. It takes photos of small kitchens, small bathrooms, and small backyards. I know, at f/4.5 It's a little slow for interiors, but with bounce flash, the shots turn out nice and bright. I have attached …" Read Full Review »

"To get the most out of this lens you really have to work for you shot, which to some may be good or bad. To me it is fun. Some of the shots that can be produced with this lens are amazing. It is all about the angle and how close you are to the object. So make your angles extreme otherwise you wo …" Read Full Review »

"I like the super-wide angle that creates fun distortions in a very good way! The price is reasonable also. I already took some test photos at home and enjoy the new creative options it provides. In the city (New York) it just swallows up the tall buildings and wide areas. I use this lens on my Nikon …" Read Full Review »
