+3. It is now

Just sold mine, didn't get the use I thought it would and the distortion at 10mm was not to my liking
Sticking to the 17-55 now and not missing the wider angle

though, tbh, I use a Canon 10-22, so no real experience of the Sigma, have heard it highly rated though, almost as good as the Canon is some folks opinion 🙂

Not bad at all, but did need stopping down a bit to get the best from it. Some samples are allegedly softer than others, so either buy from a UK shop in case of return or s/hand if you get to see some sample pics.

Wonder what their new 8-16mm is like, now that is wide even on a cropped sensor

The Tokina 11-16mm gets the best reviews, but no doubt a bit dearer and only worth it if you know its going to get used a fair bit (unlike mine)

ah, but the few times you want wide angle, it almost always ends up being one of your best shots... a bit like carrying a tripod everywhere, you'll miss it when you need it 😉

Daresay you are right, but needed a new flash more and didn't have the spare three hundred quid i'm afraid

Might get one again in the future and being a Canon user would definitely buy the 10-22mm, it is better albeit a damn sight pricier

Thanks for the suggestions folks. Unfortunately, that is outside of my price-range. Any suggestions for a place that sells second hand lenses?

Quality second hand lenses keep their value, Expect to pay around £300 for a secondhand sigma 10-20 at the moment.
