Featuring three Special Low Dispersion glass elements and aspherical lenses, it delivers exceptional image clarity with minimal distortion. Equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor, it ensures fast, silent autofocus and full-time manual focus control. Compact and lightweight, this lens is perfect for landscape, architecture, and indoor photography, enhanced by multi-layer coatings that reduce flare and ghosting for vibrant, high-contrast images. ## Description desertcart.com 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.

For many of my shots - nothing was in focus over the whole photo. It may work fine for some, but every iteration of this lens that I tried did not work for me. I recommend looking at the Tamron 10-24 f3.5 (further zoom, better aperture). I've been using it for 1.5 yrs & it stays on my camera as the default lens! **Q: Is this a good lens for interiors for real estate photos** A: I have been involved in real estate since 1997. This was the only lens I used with my Canon. **Q: Is this lens for APS-C camera only? Or does it work for full frame cameras?** A: With an adapter it works with my LUMIX S1 but there's a trick. The S1 will by default crank down to S-35 mode or about a 1.5x APS-C crop. In order to get it to "work" in full frame mode, although I don't know which cameras/brands will work with this hack, you turn the camera on with the lens installed. The S1 registers it as an APS-C (cropped) lens. Simply press the lens release and turn the lens slightly and then click it back into place. It should allow the lens to be used in full frame mode. HOWEVER, as has been mentioned, it will still produce strong vignetting at 10mm. Zoom to about 12 or 13mm all the way to 20mm and it should fill the frame. Anyone know if this trick works on brands other than Panasonic? **Q: will Sigma 10-20mm work with a Nikon D80 series to shoot high quality photos indoors in small rooms?** A: It works great with d80, very good lens for the money, just shoot at f11 or f8. Distortion can be corrected afterwords, happy shooting. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and affordable wide angle! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 20, 2008* After shooting a few months with the kit lens (18-55), I found myself shooting at the wider range more often than not, with the exception of the occasional portrait. So I got rid of the kit lens, got myself a 50mm prime (the f1/4 from Canon: a masterpiece), and a wide-angle zoom for landscapes.I quickly found and bought the Sigma. Two months later, I couldn't be happier. It shoots where no other lens could shoot. Everyone knows that "10mm is wide", but few realize just how wide it is until they see it. Our eyes see in the 40-50mm range, so we're not used to perceiving such a wide field. When you look through this lens, you see pictures that you didn't even know were there.The glass quality is excellent, obviously not up to Canon L standards, but that was never the purpose. The pictures are SHARP and clear, and colors are excellent (tints tend slightly toward the warmer end when compared to Canon's 10-22mm; I like that, personally, but YMMV).Subjects are obviously deformed when shot up close at 10mm, but know what you're doing and that becomes a great tool for artistic pictures! You can shoot a 5'5" person head to toes from less than 3 feet away. Also, I am happy to report that at 20mm there is NO distortion whatever, regardless of the subject's distance.The only problem I can see right now with this lens is a rainbow effect when shooting at 10mm in direct sunlight. The hood helps some, but you'll still get the rainbow in some pictures. See my pic in the customer image section. It's not a huge deal (sometimes it's actually a neat effect), and it's happened to me only once out of 800+ pictures taken, but know what you're getting.Overall, this is THE wide-angle zoom to get if you're halfway serious about landscape photography, although the Sigma also works great in indoors with limited room to shoot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fanstastic lens and a great value *by on Reviewed in the United States March 26, 2009* First off, a wide-angle is sensor specific so there are just a few top contenders for Canon's APC-S (1.6x crop factor) cameras. I shoot with the Canon EOS 40D. The downside here is that if you choose to get a full-frame camera body such as the Canon EOS 5D, you will need to replace this and any other EF-S lenses you own.The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 has everything I valued going for it: price, build quality, great glass and zoom range. It also comes with a lens hood which the more expensive Canon competitor does not.I rented a couple of comparable lenses to help in my decision: the Tokina 11-16mmf/2.8 and the Canon 10-22m f/3.5-5.6The Canon 10-22mm, like all EF-S lenses I've used, is built like a toy in comparison to other lenses. Cheap, plastic, loose tolerances. While it did produce OK results, I got vignetting wide open. Considering that its' price is higher than all the rest, it did not look like a good value.The Tokina, on the other hand, was build like a tank. Great contrast, clarity and fast. However, I decided that I didn't need the f/2.8 or the extra $100 on the price tag and did want the extra zoom range. But it is a great lens and you can read my review on the product page.Regardless, I am completely satisfied with this lens and highly recommend it over the Canon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great lens, great price *by on Reviewed in the United States October 22, 2007* This lens is the best quality lens for the price available. What I mean is, out of any cheaper wide angle lenses out there, it would be best to spend the few more dollars for this lens. It comes with a carrying case and hood which is extra nice; considering Canon is charging hundreds more and for whatever reason cannot bring themselves to giving anything away for free. Speaking of Canon, I'm a Canon guy all the way, and this is the first time I considered straying from Canon Products. I'm really glad I did. The reviews on the Canon lens are too iffy to justify paying 200-400 more for roughly the same lens. The photo examples don't give me any justification to pay that kind of extra money either. Some reviews on this lens also seem to be a bit negative, but unless your shooting with the big boys, theres no outstanding reason to upgrade to a more expensive wide angle, as this will cover all of your needs with great clarity and color. The only real fault that is noticeable with this lens is that amount of distortion at the edges at 10mm. This is to be expected with such a wide lens, and can simply be solved by shooting closer to 12mm..etc. However, in some cases, the 10mm distortion actually works in your favor to enhance the height of trees, buildings, and that sort of thing. (Examples of this exist in the photos regarding this lens).Certainly consider reading others reviews, and go to Canon's lens reviews as well, so you can make your own decisions. I just hope this helps in deciding if its worth spending the extra cash for Canon.
