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
