Does anyone in our group has used this lens and how does it perform?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I have the 3.5 version and use it on my Pentax K5 and K3.
It's a very fine lens, gives excellent results, best used on a tripod.

Ditto for me - I've taken some great landscape photos with my D7000. It is a great lens for a crop frame camera!
I am now sad because it is off to college with my daughter, who received the D7000 and all its DX lenses at Christmas this year.
Why? I recently upgraded to a full frame Nikon. Her getting my old camera & lenses was the deal agreed upon during the financial negotiations to buy the aforementioned full frame Nikon.
These negotiations were of course with the person in charge - my wife :-)
So, now I'm on the hunt for a full frame equivalent of the Sigma 10-20 f/4 (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg).

I have the Sigma 10-20 F3.5 for my D7000. Love it's level of quality for the price, a good value in my book. And the single minimum F-stop is a blessing.

I have one and really like it. I don't use it as much as I would like to or as much as I should.

Out of curiosity, why choose the 10-20/4-5.6 over the 10-20/3.5 ?

DXO messed up if they think the variable aperture version is poor. It really is not.

I USE IT A LOT IN INDOOR REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY AND ALSO IN TIGHT SPACES. I just noticed my caps lock was on, oops!! Quite sharp at 5.6 to 8. Fun shots at a party with the wide angle distortion. I use it on Sony A Mounts. Super value.

Darn, I have the 3.5 version, wasn't paying attention. All the comments I made before still apply.

I have the variable aperture in Nikon mount. DxO ratings can be deceiving.... Here is a sample shot from mine years ago...A slight crop was done

I have had the f/4-5.6 for many years. Many of my best photos were taken with this lens. I know other choices may test out better.
Here is a recent photo on a Nikon D7100.

That's a beautiful photo, I don't know if it can be improved. Thanks.

I have the Sigma 10-20mm variable f/stop with a Nikon mount. It is an excellent lens from my perspective and I have taken some very pleasing photos with it. I have had it for many years.
