I had a friend loan me his 10-22, and I ended up purchasing the siggy. Granted the 10-22 is a wee bit faster, it\'s not $250 faster to me. I have had my siggy since august, and I love it. I find that the amount of distortion depends 100% on how I hold the camera in relation to an object. I can make the horizon look bent, or I can let it appear straight, I really like how it tends to distort the perspective making things close to the lens look huge and things further away look tiny.
While I don\'t agree with his overall review of the sigma, this link is a pretty good writeup on ultrawide lenses. My only concern is how long is the warranty on the siggies? I thought that it was only 1 year, but I have heard that it\'s 3 or 4.... regardless, I love the lens and can do a lot with it, here are some examples, you can check out my flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/mtbtrials if you wanna try and suss out more of my sigma photos.
