Heavy. Not as sharp at 2.8 as I would expect.

I've always felt it more important to build a collection of quality glass that will last while updating cameras as technonogy changes. I had my copy for almost a year and was happy with the results but suspected it was a little too soft so I sent it to Canon to calibrate. What came back was amazing. It is now so sharp it is like having a completely new lens. This is a great lens.

I wanted this to be an affordable option to the Canon 10-24 but saw with the first shot that the right side was out of focus. Ran some tests and all f-stops and shutter speeds and the right side remained blurry. Took it back and paid the extra money for the Canon and am very happy.

Lens shadow at wide angle flash shots, very expensive.

Started with the Sigma 10-20 to save money on what I expected to be an occasional lens but found with testing that the right side of the image was fuzzy while the left remained sharp regardless of the shutter or f-stop settings. Took it back and spent more for this lens and love it. Most of my shots are indoors and this is a perfect lens to have on at all times. Working on how to resolve the lens shadow with flash at wider settings but that is a very minor problem.
