## Overview

The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM is a professional-grade ultra-wide zoom lens designed for Canon APS-C DSLRs, featuring a 10-20mm focal length that translates to 15-30mm equivalent. It incorporates three Special Low Dispersion glass elements and aspherical lenses to reduce aberrations and distortion, ensuring exceptional image quality. Equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor, it offers fast, silent autofocus with full-time manual focus control. Compact and lightweight at just over 1 pound, it includes a petal-type hood and supports 77mm filters, making it ideal for landscape, architecture, and interior photography.

## 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. Lens construction: 14 elements in 10 groups Angle of view: 102.4 to 63.8 degrees Number of diaphragm blades: 6 Minimum aperture: f/22 Minimum focusing distance: 9.4 inches Maximum magnification: 1:6.7 Filter size: 77mm Dimensions: 3.3 inches in diameter and 3.2 inches long Weight: 16.4 ounces From the Manufacturer The 10 to 20 millimeters f4 to 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 10 millimeters and 63.8 degrees at 20 millimeters) 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 24 centimeters (9.4 inches) 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. It covers a superwide angle of view 102.4 to 63.8 degrees Three pieces of Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and three aspherical lens elements produce top quality optical performance. Inner focusing system ensures the length of the lens remains unchanged whilst controlling aberrations. Equipped with HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) system Minimum focusing distance of 24 centimeters (9.4 inches) at all focal lengths Relatively compact, lightweight for an ultra wide-angle zoom lensNote to customers: Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.

Review: Very solid, very sturdy, very good quality lens in a very comfortable price. - I found this lens a bit heavier than what I used to feel, If I compare it with my other Pentax lenses. But the quality of the pictures it gives, it is great, it is very good. Also please take into account that the price of this lens was very cheap comparing with equivalent Pentax lens. Very good product. Also the weight of this lens gives very sturdy feeling and it also helps me to keep the camera more stable while taking the photos. So it becomes a plus point, at the end. Very good quality lens, for me. And I have been a photographer since the 70s.
Review: A Must-Have for Wide Angle Enthusiasts with DX Nikon DSLRS - I'm a nut for wide-angle photography. I don't mean to get technical, but for those who do not know the sticky details, modern Digital SLRs often have sensors that are quite a bit smaller than the traditional exposure area of film: 24mmx36mm. In the case of Nikon DSLRs (all current models except their $5000 Nikon D3 12.1MP FX Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) professional FX sensor model) use what they call a DX sensor which is 16mmx24mm. For us old film hounds, this means that a lens of a given focal length will roughly translate to 1.5x when switching from film (of Full frame) to DX. So, your old 20mm wide angle lens will "crop" to about the equivalent of a 35mm lens when put on a DX sensor DSLR. For those who really like telephoto shots, this is a positive boon. Your 300mm lens will take pictures that have the same angle of view as a 450mm lens, but for those of us wide-angle freaks, this "digital crop factor" takes some of the "punch" out of the bottom end. Many general-use zooms for the DX sensor cameras start around 18mm. This would be ultra-wide on that old film camera, but it takes pictured that look more like what you'd expect from a 28mm lens on a traditional film camera. Ok, sorry for all the mumbo jumbo, but now on to why this lens is so great... With its 10mm-20mm focal length, this lens is the 35mm film SLR equivalent of a 15mm to 35mm zoom lens, and 15mm full-frame is about the widest you can go before getting into "fish-eye" territory. With this Sigma lens at 10mm, you get a very wide angle perspective without crossing over into fish-eye territory. Yes, there is noticeable "barreling", but nothing beyond the range of most modern photo/image editing software's ability to fix. Frankly, I like a little of that in my ultra-wide photos. At the 20mm end, the "barreling" is much less noticeable. As will all extreme wide angle lenses, if you get right on top of your subject, you'll really amplify the distortion effect, but if you're shooting at 10mm and focusing down to the lenses minimum focus distance (an amazing 10" or so), you're probably already expecting, and even counting on such distortion anyway. Did I mention that it focuses down to around 10"? The construction of this lens is solid, and it has a little heft to it. It comes with its own custom lens hood. USE IT. The front element on this lens bulges out a bit (as you can see from the product photos), and aside from helping with lens flare, that extra bit of "guard rail" will help you avoid scratching the thing. I've put a UV filter on the front to help protect the glass, but the distance between that glass and the front lens element makes this "reflection box" that has visibly shown in some of my highly backlit/highly contrasty photos. The focusing is fast and silent. I really like the fact that this is one of those "internally focusing" lenses which means that the act of focusing does not turn the manual focus rung, and doesn't make the lens change position or size. More importantly, if you want to manually focus, you can just grab the ring and turn because it's not "locked" into place in AF mode like many other lenses. I've taken some of my best photos with this lens, and for the wide-angle enthusiast with a DX sensor Nikon DSLR, I'd go so far as to say this is a must-have. It's got 2mm wider focal length than the nearest Nikon (with DOES make a visible difference at the low-end), but its incredibly well made and clear from edge to edge (though, it does have that "barrel" distortion... it's still crisp from end to end with little to no vignetting) Sorry, I probably went on a bit, but as you can tell, I really like this lens. I'd highly recommend that you do your research before you buy it as ultra-wide angles do have some idiosyncrasies, but if you know what to expect (photographically) from them, then this lens is one of the best I've ever played with/owned.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How fast and accurate is the auto focus?**
A: For me, the lack of accurate focus was why I returned this lens.  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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great lens. Sharp and WIDE and perfect for taking pictures of homes
*by L***C on June 27, 2013*

I am a REALTOR and have seen that the better the pictures the more showings and the more showings the faster the sale. I knew that a wide angle lens would enable me to take better pictures of the enclosed spaces encountered in houses. After reading some of the reviews here, I hesitated purchasing this lens. However, I did not want to spend enough to buy a Nikon 10-24 or 12-24. Since MLS photos are displayed at low resolution and notoriously bad, I went ahead and bought it. I am extremely glad I did. I may just have received a good copy, however, the copy I received is bright and sharp across the entire field even wide open. I see MLS photos all of the time that display enormous barrel distortion to the extent that you go into the home expecting to see curved walls and bent pillars. This lens displays minimal barrel distortion even wide open. Far less then my kit lens at 18mm. There is a tiny bit of chromatic aberration, but that is tolerable and slight enough to be unnoticeable other than at high magnification. So far I have only taken test shots around my own home, but they came out great. I am extremely satisfied with this lens and look forward to using in on my next listings. I am so eager to use it in a live environment that I plan to ask my existing listing clients to allow me to do re-shoots. I have often been complemented on my MLS photos and have even had clients who said that they determined to list with me rather than another agent primarily on the basis of my listing photos. I anticipate that this lens will take me to the next level and enable me to secure more listing on even more valuable properties. I have no regrets over buying this lens and there is no question that I would do it again.
