Opinion: After reading some glowing reports on this lens, I wanted to add my unfortunate experience. The constant f3.5 aperture and 10mm, versus the 11mm of the Tokina 11-16mm, so I ordered the lens (approved UK stock) with approved finance with a particular retailer. Firstly, I found the lens less well finished than other EX Sigma's but then on trying, it just wasn't sharp at any aperture, or focal length, or at focussing point. The fringing around tree twigs in the sky rendered them awfully too. Definitely a dud. The supplier then checked the potential replacement (at my request) and they found that to be faulty too, but in a different way. They checked ALL their stock and found they couldn't sell any of them. In the end, it was resolved by them price-matching the Nikkor 10-24mm with cheapest UK stock and the rest is history. The Nikkor is excellent, usable at all apertures, except f22 and extends slightly further to 24mm. There are never issues with image quality with these Nikkor's. Sigma failed on this one, big time. You may well be much luckier and Sigma may well have got their act together now, but my experience will always taint me with reluctance when buying Sigma again.

Pros:"Bright", very sharp in close-up, 14mm also covers the fullframe, looks robust
Cons:Good enough on aps-c, Front/back focus
Opinion:I took it because I was totally uncovered on the wide-angle side, and then used it sporadically. I have also always found it uncomfortable to use the wide-angle with the reflex viewfinder. With live view I can find the frame more easily. Since from 14mm onwards it covers the FullFrame format, I'm testing it on Nikon D610, but the autofocus doesn't work despite the lens has the hsm motor, while it works on other bodies, even the autofocus film ones. Surely there is better for both aps-c and fullframe, but I don't have a yardstick for now.
Opinion:It's a great lens to start with (I mount it on the D7200) but as you take your hand you notice the difficulties it has. At 10 mm it suffers a lot from blurring on the edges especially if you shoot vertically you can perceive at the bottom if you have a foreground with a lot of texture. You often have to do focus calibration because it suffers a lot from backfocus. All in all it gave me considerable satisfaction but the sensor of the D7200 deserves better.
Pros:Focal Range, autofocus, construction, value for money and brightness
Cons:A 10mm Soft at the edges and chromatic aberrations
Opinion:I use this lens on a Canon 1300d and it's probably the best wide angle for Canon APSC in relation to the value for money. The lens looks very well giving you a feeling of solidity and build quality, the focus motor is fast, quite accurate and very quiet. The Sigma 10-20 is a bright and crisp lens, though it is advisable to close a few stops to get the most quality on the entire frame. Used at 10-12mm The distortion is felt quite strongly (but I think it is normal at these focal lengths); If you shoot at 10mm or TA the sharpness is great only in the center because the edges record a progressive drop in quality (no problem if you use other lengths). In situations of strong contrast, at the extremes of the focal range, there are chromatic aberrations a bit ' annoying but still solvable quite simply in post production. Vignetting little present and very good the tightness in backlight. Quite heavy (almost 550g) but still in the norm for a wide angle zoom f 3.5. Hood and protective bag included in the package. Overall I am definitely satisfied and I would strongly recommend this lens to anyone looking for a wide-angle zoom for APSC of overall quality higher than the entry level Canon 10-18mm.
Opinion:I've been using this lens for a few months. 1st on Nikon D3200 now on D7200. Great lens with great value for money. Slightly too heavy but solid, compact and well built. Silent, precise and rapid autofocus. Bright and sharp enough. It suffers from slight vignetting on the edges at 10mm which in some shots can also be pleasant. Maybe the 82mm in diameter are a tad too many. Overall I am very pleased with this view.
