Pre-PMA 2005: The second of three DC (digital SLR only) lenses announced by Sigma today is the 10 - 20 mm F4.0 - F5.6 EX DC HSM, an interesting super wide-angle lens which would provide 15 - 30 mm equiv. on a 1.5 FOV crop camera (such as the Nikon D70). This lens also features Sigma's HSM (HyperSonic Motor) for high speed silent focusing with manual focus override.
Press Release:
Sigma 10-20mm F4.0-5.6 EX DC HSM
Super wide-angle zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras
- It covers a superwide angle of view 102.4°to 63.8
- Three pieces of Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and three aspherical lens
elements produce top quality optical performance
- Inner focusing system ensures the length of the lens remains unchanged whilst
controlling aberrations
- Equipped with HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) system
- Minimum focusing distance of 24cm (9.4”) at all focal lengths
- Relatively compact, lightweight for an ultra wide-angle zoom lens
Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX
DC HSM lens.
10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens allows enjoyment of super wide-angle photography
and it is a very powerful tool for indoor shooting and landscape photography with
APS-C size image sensors of digital SLR cameras.
Wide angle of view (102.4°at 10mm and 63.8°at 20mm) offers the photographer greater freedom of expression. Three SLD glass elements are employed for effective compensation of color aberration,
which is a common problem with super-wide angle lenses. One piece of glass mold and
two hybrid aspherical lenses, offer excellent correction for distortion, as well as all types of aberration.

DPReview regular Alexander Jikharev counts Henri Cartier-Bresson among his photography heroes. When asked why, he quotes his understanding of photography as 'recognition, in real life, of a rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values.' That rhythm is alive and well in Jikharev's photography. Take a look at a few of his images here and find out more about him in our Q&A. See gallery
Just posted! Our latest lens review focusing on Sigma's 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM ultra-wideangle zoom. A firm favourite with the more budget-conscious APS-C user since its introduction four years ago, this lens is now challenged by some new young pretenders intent on stealing its market share. So can this old warrior still fight off its challengers, or is age beginning to take its toll?
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. So far, it's a fun camera to shoot with – if a bit over the top.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?
The Everyday Sling might just be the perfect pack for not carrying too much gear, combining comfort with Peak Design's signature modern style.
The instant camera market is heating up, and with four formats and 15+ cameras to choose from, we felt it was high time to examine them all and pick our favorite.
