My first macro lens so need to get use to using it. Initial attempts have been impressive. As a short telephoto I have found it very good.
Will have to get one of those macro sliding plates (e.g. Manfrotto 454) ... any views on this approach?

Pros:
|
IQ, Colour, Build Quality, 77mm filters, stealthy (even with lens hood), well balanced on 40D, IS effective even at silly shutter speeds (longer than 1/4), ... All round very good 'standard' (for me) lens now.

|
Cons:
|
Two mode IS would have been nice.

I managed to get the ever helpful Jessops to allow me to compare the Sigma 10-20 with the Canon 10-22. Oh and do some free CF printing.
I found the Sigma felt better built and in the 30mins of testing the Sigma also yielded better (sharper) prints. So I purchased the Sigma.
