Re: Sigma 10-20mm for Canon

If it's anything like comparing the Sigma 15mm fisheye to the Canon 15mm
fisheye, the Canon wins easily while only about 25%(?) more money. IOW, I
wish I had bought the Canon. On these hi-res DSLR sensors, the difference is
easy to spot, not to mention the funky focus performance/motor issues and
general compatibility problems Sigma has sometimes when new cameras come
out. Not worth the trouble for a professional or serious amateur, IMO.

This lens is said to be designed for digital cameras. Does that mean it
has
the same short back focus as the Canon EF-S lenses?

Does anyone have any experience with this lens? I'm about to buy either
this or the Canon 10-22mm and I'm on the edge. The Sigma is about $200
less
expensive.

I want the wide angle for some landscape and home interior photos.

The SD10 comfortably exceeded the quality of the 6 megapixel camera - that never seemed to be in doubt - and while the image it produced was softer than the very crisp Kodak result, within that soft 'skin' there appeared to be just as much real detail, and some of the colour distinctions were better. ... The original Canon 1Ds - not the mark II - was significantly lower in resolved detail than the Kodak, though we never tested it against the Sigma directly, and I would imagine an SD10 owner with a 1Ds would have some difficult moments. ...
