A definate yey!
pound for pound probably one of the best choices around for a modern wide AF zoom.... which probably explains why so many people have them.
A 'pro' , in my experience it exhibits less barrel distortion at the 10mm end than the much more expensive Canon 10-22mm.
A 'con' is build quility does vary between lenses....check yours before buying.
A 'pro' the satin/matt paint finish used on the Sigma now is quite nice, although a 'con' is very easily marked in use.
General stuff that applies to all extreme wide angles;
A 'pro'....unbeatable for situations where you'd otherwise not be able to include all as desired in the frame.
A 'con'.....you can easily get addicted to the wide angle effect at 10mm, even when pictorially it might not have been the best choice! ditto same applies for fisheyes
Incidentally, I nipped into my former employers shop today (Jessops)...which is one of the ones designated a 'clearance' store....A few lens bargains in there...they had two reconditioned Sigma 10-20mm Canon fit ones, and one Nikon fit one....£80 each!...a good price for the high street in my view.
P.S...pentax fans...there was also a rather nice 24-70mm f/2.8 in pentax AF for £70...if only i'd bought a Pentax! lol
