Sigma 10-20mm Canon

[Scott330ci]

Has it been discontinued?

Its not available via jessops and I have an urge. Is there a new model?

I haven't looked around for a while for new lenses.

Help is appreciated.

Also if you have any shots taken with said lens I would appreciate you posting them.

There is a new f3.5 model. Whether it's meant to replace the original or sell alongside it I'm not sure.

Some examples of the old lens are in the wiki at the top of the forum.

A good 80% of my pics are taken with the Sigma 10-20mm. Have a mooch through the “Random photo” thread.

Where did you get it from and what was the price?

Thanks

I just bought this lens last week (Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM) from Warehouseexpress (£379.00).

I'm really just a beginner to all this photography malarky but here are 3 shots I took with my 400D and the 10-20 this evening down at Linlithgow Loch:

ISO 100, f/5.6 for 1/500sec @ 10mm.


ISO 100, f8 for 1/125sec @ 17mm


ISO 100, f5.6 for 1/20sec @ 20mm


All 3 have been slightly altered in PS - Levels, slight colour curve. Not huge amounts though

[RobDickinson]

I got one of the first batch , luckily a good one (I think!).

The f4-5.6 one is still for sale, the f3.5 is nwe and a touch more money, not reviewed, seems from the MTF a touch worse than the old one BUT thats at a faster aperture, I htink it'll be as good or better at any coresponding aperture - it has more exotic elements too.

Only downside is it does tend to flare a lot, sometimes good , sometimes bad, and typical of UWA's anyhow. CA is good, distortion is good (avoidable or very usable) mine isnt sharp in the corners wide open but fine at f8 where its mostly used.

Some examples:

Thanks Guys

Love It!

I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while for my Sony, and might just get it now.

What about filters etc - To the takers of some of the stunning shots above, what filters do you normally use? circular polarising etc???

[RobDickinson]

Only one of my shots had filters (cokin P CPL+ND grad). Cokin P tends to vignete below 12mm and you can sometimes see the holder, they do a special single filter holder for UWA I dont have.

Filters of any depth wil cause issues at the wide end without stepup etc..

I often just hold the filter in front of the lens with my hand if I'm worried about the holder being in shot.
