gotta agree with that, i love the 10-20 wideangle, but i can understand, for someone more professional, they would hate this lens. its af, and thus 1/2 the time it is hard to get it to focus right.

after playing with it for a good year now, i must say i almost never use it at its fullest wide angle. the picture is just too distorted.

They also have a high failure rate compared to the lenses from the major manufacturers...again up to 20%, compared to Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax which seem hover around 6%.

Sigma service also is pretty bad. It can take up to 4 months to get lenses back from repair. Canon & Nikon can have a faulty lens back to you in a matter of a few weeks, even faster if you have a CPS or NPS number.
