  • Wider than wide and as good or better than 10-20mm
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I never knew how much I'd like wide angles until I bought the original Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 lens. It was sharp (on a D70), and it opened my eyes to a whole new perspective. Way different than the 18mm I was used to thinking was wide. That lens beget an "upgrade" to the 10-20mm f/3.5 lens (it offered some improvements). I used that chubby ens quite a bit on my D90, and I never wanted more in the 10-20mm realm, but I found myself using my 8mm fisheye more and more. I sold both of these lenses to buy this one. I'm quite happy with my decision. 10mm already creates challenges in framing, and 8mm takes that further. Your feet and even belly may appear in shots depending upon your posture (and size of belly/feet!). You will want to get as close as you possibly can to your subject to fill the frame and eliminate distracting and unwanted items in the frame. You will be rewarded with a sharp lens with limited distortions (apart from those inherent in ultra wide angle lenses). The zoom and especially focus rings are well damped and require deliberate action to move them. Given the limited zoom range and focal range (infinity comes quick, as the depth of field is immense) this is a plus. The build is solid and inspires confidence, and the included cap is quite nice. Technically it offers filter threads and a traditional lens cap, but the filter threads have limited use, and I use the entire module as a cap. It stays n quite nicely. You have this arrangement because of the bulbous front element. It's generally protected by the built in hood, and it's typical for lenses this wide. As I sold my other lenses to purchase this one, I can't do a side by side comparison. Looking at some of my older pics, especially those on my more demanding D7100, I find this to be the sharpest my Sigma ultra wide angle zooms and Samyang fisheye, and that says quite a bit among those peers. I feel this accomplishment is due both to Sigmas recent strides in lens design and quality control, as well as an introduction of high end materials for lens construction. You may still prefer the range of the 10-20mm lenses or their ability to use filters. Really the question is whether or not you want to go this wide. It's a great lens, but a highly specialized one. More than anything, this solidified my decision to stay with a DX SLR (vs full frame), as I no longer felt that was sacrificing the wide angle perspective to the 1.5x crop (I get that there are other benefits to full frame, but for me, that was my biggest concern with staying with DX). Highly recommended! ... show more

  • The widest lens for non-pro SLR bodies, and fantastic quality
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
Note: I initially purchased this as an open-box Warehouse Deal, but it arrived broken. Amazon was great about accepting the return, and I reordered a new copy that has worked for 2 years with no flaws. This is an exceptional lens. Not only in the sense that it creates a very high quality picture, but also that it is for specific types of photography. This lens is not for portraits, group shots, or where you're looking for an ultra-accurate representation of a space or scene. This lens, at 8mm, is so wide that anything outside the center will look stretched and spaced, as this is a rectilinear lens and is constructed to preserve straight lines (unlike a fisheye, which will curve objects outside the center). If you shoot architecture, buildings, subjects that are more geometric in nature, landscapes, and so on, and you're looking for a unique lens that will give you a different perspective on your usual subjects, this is a stand-out lens. There's complex distortion at 8mm, and even at 16mm there's still complex distortion, so it's not perfect, but you'll be capturing so much of a scene that it's hard to notice the distortion. It's not a fast lens, but thanks to the size, it grabs a lot of light and can be used wide open in most situations without suffering from a short DOF. In fact, I usually stop down to F8 or so simply to cut down the shutter speed, although in scenes where you're capturing a significant amount of foreground, you'll probably want to stop down a bit as well. The focus motor is a little loud, but fast, and since you're not shooting people/wildlife with this lens, it really doesn't matter. It's heavy, firmly constructed, and has the much-discussed "cap and sleeve" design to cover the lens. I took this lens to the edge of the outback in Australia and hauled it through deserts, and in the US I've taken it up mountains, into forests, and around buildings, and it's handled a lot of different temperatures and humidities with no trouble. Due to the bulbous front element, it's important to be careful when setting your camera down or when you're in dusty areas, as a small bit of dirt on the lens will be magnified in a picture. I love this lens, and the extra 2mm compared to the other 10mm lenses on the market make me happy that it performs as well as it does. If you're looking to go as wide as possible, this is the lens to get. ... show more

  • Great for ultra wide angle photography
Style: Canon Digital DSLR Camera
First, note this lens is designed for APS-C cameras and will not fit a full frame camera. I also purchased this for my Canon, so my review will reference Canon products. Feel This lens is heavy especially considering some of the entry level lenses Canon and others have on offer. Also, the focus ring feels a little rough when manually focusing. The front element is rounded and cannot take a front mounted filter. The lens cap comes in two pieces, a normal cap that covers a slide on cover. You can use the cover to create spherical pictures, or you can remove it to shoot normal pictures. Autofocus is accurate and smooth if a touch loud. Over all it feels like a quality build. Pictures. It is important to know what this lens does and doesn’t do. This is not a lens you are going to shoot your kids birthday party with. With 8mm to play with it is a challenge to fill the frame. The Lens forces you to focus on composition, and really getting up close and personal with your subject. Real estate agents, car guys, and people who shoot in enclosed spaces will get the most out of this lens. Picture quality. For an APS-C lens it delivers acceptable quality. At 8mm you will see the corners bend, and you will get a halo effect at the widest aperture setting. I haven’t seen any lens flare with the built in hood, but with the number of elements in the lens it’s bound to creep up. Overall. ' I love this lens. However if you’re not sure about getting into super wide angle photography and surrealist pictures that come out of it, go with the Canon EF-S 10-18. f/4.5-5.6. ... show more
