After many days of deliberations I made a decission to go with the new Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. This lens was a need tool not only for it's landscape capabilities but I needed a wider lens capability for shooting retail store interiors for a trade publication.
The first day with the lens I went out and took these shots at Jasper Park's, Maligne Canyon. This lens was in it’s element in these narrow canyon cuts and towering frozen water falls. The effects of this lens are amazing but as I've now learned some of the distortion can be eliminated with proper technique. Still it was a lot of fun in this canyon setting.
The Sigma 10-20mm wide angle is, with my brief experience, a great extention to my 18-200mm. The wide angle 10-20mm zoom gives it a versatility that I didn’t expect. This is a sturdy well built lens that functions smoothly. The auto focus is quick, precise and very quiet. At F4-5.6 it’s not fast but I’m finding that I’m using it mostly for scenic shooting and bright interior locations.
I'll add more comments as I gain more experience with the lens.
I highly recommend it if you can find one.
