Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras with APS-C Sensors black

I purchased this lens for use with a Nikon D3300 and have found it comes out with great results. The Nikon D3300 has a crop sensor, which results in a somewhat frustratingly limited angle of photos taken with the kit lens. This lens mitigates the limitations of the camera and kit lens for those on a budget, offering a high quality build with fantastic wide angle results.Build: The lens is quite heavy, but is of good build quality. The components don't feel cheap as you would find with kit lenses, and the rings move smoothly without too much give. Autofocus is fast, and almost perfectly silent.Image Quality: With any wide angle lens, there is some distortion- but for landscape photography this lens is unrivalled at this price point.Definitely 5 stars.

I've had this lens for a few months now and I have to say it is excellent. Autofocus is very quiet and pin sharp. I have taken some fabulous landscape shots with it plus used it for a wedding shoot. Great value for money.13/08/2017This lens will not autofocus with a Nikon D5500 after the firmware is updated in the camera body. Gutted!

I'm neither a professional photographer, or serious hobbyist when it comes' to photography, but I bought this after researching on many forums the best lens for architectural photography and urbex, in anticipation for a trip to Chernobyl. I shortlisted the Sigma, Tamron and a couple of others, I also looked at buying used lenses or hiring them, the 2nd hand cost of these is not far from cost when new, and the prohibitive cost of hiring (especially since the area is a bit of an unknown) made buying this an easy decision.This lens generally seems to cost the same from most retailers, but I prefer to buy from Amazon given their service. In most reviews this lens seems to beat the others on the market, comes highly recommended and is well priced in comparison to Nikon's alternative. It's well built, nicely finished and the autofocus motor is nice and quiet, it comes with a soft case, petal lens hood and lens caps too - although I invested in a UV filter to protect the lens surface from scratches.Worth mentioning if you haven't used this type of lens before, it's worth researching how to use it and how to get the best pictures before you take the plunge, I can get some reasonable results despite being (almost) a novice.I use this on a Nikon D5300 with absolutely no issues, and good results, it now lives on my camera instead of the kit lens supplied.

Great lens for the price, I needed something to attach to my D3200 as I shoot a lot of London Graffiti. Some of these pieces are huge and there is not a lot of room to stand back at some sites. It feels well made, for me the F/3.5 is fast enough for what I shoot with it, and I don't need it to create significant bokeh. If you do then you might need a faster lens so think on that before buying this one.My only issue that I have found is that for some reason this lens played havoc with the D3200 exposure. I don't get this with any other lens on this camera, even in changeable light. But in reasonably constant overcast daylight I was changing between +/- 1.3 stops of exposure compensation which was unexpected. So keep an eye on your histogram if you do shoot with this lens is my only comment of concern. It is more likely the operator of course but I will need to shoot a little more with it first to know.Jules

I haven't yet spent nearly enough time with this lens, but initial impressions are it's sharp, low distortion, fast and very, very wide. And solidly built which, truthfully, I wasn't expecting from Sigma - past experience!Should prove a challenging lens to use, which is the fun and joy of photography.

I cannot stress how good I find this lens, I have got it fitted to a full frame camera, however it is very easy to frame your shot for DX format with the grid through the view finder. It does give stunning results, and a "weird" perspective that makes going to your old haunts a joy to see what you can come up with. The only niggle that I found was if you use a shoulder sling and not a neck strap, if you walk along with the camera just hanging there, the Auto focus/manual button on the side of the lens can easily get switched from AF to M. Thats the only thing I have had a slight issue with. For the money its a great lens. See attached photos from my first outing .

No issues with the lens or the build quality. Optical quality is fine too, and the included storage pouch is a nice addition.However, having had the lens for 7 months (I have used it only a handful of times and I am always careful to store is safely inside the pouch, in a safe location) I was packing my gear into a dslr backpack and noticed that the zoom ring would not move.Thinking I was perhaps all the way at the end of the range I tried the other direction and it was still stuck. After tilting the lens to get a look down the barrel, something rattled internally to the bottom of the lens.It sounds as though there is a screw loose inside which is causing issues with the zoom/focus rings, so I have contacted Amazon and am awaiting their correspondence with Sigma. The lens and AF are fully functioning but I do not feel comfortable using the lens as something has almost certainly come loose inside.Although there is a 3-year warranty included with the lens, I will update my review once the issue is resolved. I am a little disappointed with Sigma for this, as the overall build quality seemed to be much better than the equivalent Nikon lens.Time till tell how they handle the issue, but for the price of £319 (providing you do not have these issues) the lens seems like a solid choice. For its current £360 price, you might be better off with the cheaper Nikon 10-20mm...

I use this lens on a Nikon D7200 and love it. The build quality is excellent and it handles really well. The maximum aperture of f3.5 isn't that fast compared to a prime lens but at least is constant across the zoom range, which is a real boon. Picture quality is superb.
