Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 (The New and Improved One) Lens Review

It's no secret - I'm a fan of the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 lens. Yes - it's cheap. No - it's not perfect. But guess what - it's an amazing lens for the price and it can do 99% of what I need it to do with ease.

Digital Photography School just posted a review of the lens. Their conclusion…:
This lens is a keeper.  Except for the fact that Sigma wants theirs back and I can’t keep it.  I’m going to sorely miss this lens on my next trip and will likely purchase one before the month is out.  The ability to go this wide on an APS-C (1.6-Canon/1.5-Nikon crop factor) lens opens up a whole different realm of looking at the world.  Good work, Sigma.

I have this lens - it is a great lens, no doubt. F3.5 may not be useful for actually shooting, but it is great for focussing - compared to 4 of 5.6, that's a lot more light to get your focus and composition right.....

Though, off topic, it was great for an interior church shot at a recent wedding......

Good to know Drewe. Even though I'm more than happy with my 10-20 f/4-5.6, I'm considering picking this one up, only to use my current one as a backup on an upcoming overseas assignment.
