Matt, don't let the canon only lens snobs ruin your new toy joy. I had the Sigma 10-20 for a couple of years. It is a great lens, and the coating looked as good the day I sold as the day I bought it. Enjoy it!

But no, it's no good on a 5D, which is why I don't have it anymore.

im not a canon only lens snob - ive got the bigma...
and kenko stuff too...

Vignetting?

not exactly - it makes a small photo in the middle of the frame with the whole rest of the photo remaining black

Yeah a mate of mine has the 17 -50 (I think) - one of the more expensive ones - it's quite nice to use.

Raikyn has the tamron 90mm macro which he gets great results out of.

Good to know ... from time to time I recommend lenses to people and sometimes they don't want the expense of the Canon ones - good as they are.

Cheers, Shane.

Mark - Alarms are set for tomorrow morning, charging batteries now ...

I am a canon "L" snob and proud of it

i still think its funny that the red L is the international symbol for "learner"

I have an L too, and love it. I have 3 more Ls on my wishlist. But there are plenty of non L and non canon glass around that is very good. The Sigma 10-20 is one of them (provided you only want to use it on a 1.6 crop camera.)

yeah scott lol its pretty sad that it might be the most requested image in all of gkpe

Boy arent we lucky were not on our way to kawau Is ....... could be a bit choppy
