for product selection were with me the specifications and the award decisive. the focal length range is practicable. thus succeed impressive panoramic and architectural shots. the constant aperture over all focal lengths facilitates the desired exposure. should not be underestimated in practice! also allows a minimum aperture value of 3.5 low-light shooting. thus opens up a wide range of applications.
We come now to the optical performance. the measurement data and testing are available on the Internet on the popular photo sites. My impression is that the lens provides sharp images with vibrant colors. in extreme wide angle, however, occur fisheye-like distortion that does not interfere with skillful choice of motif. vignetting occurs only at maximum aperture. Fade helps (as usual ;-)). handling and processing are very good as all Sigma EX lenses.
the better alternative are all settled by Nikon price and quality in the professional sector. but I forgive anyway 5 stars because for this price the services is unrivaled. the Sigma 10-20 has become favorite objectively my.
Another note: It should definitely be a slimline filter (1 mm) can be used to prevent penetration seals.
