Used on my 40D and it is great. Came with a center pinch cover and hood. Quality is good and works great.

Good product and Amazon is a great seller.

Well, I really liked the Tamron wide angle lens which offered a zoom range that invited it to be the > one < lens you keep on your camera. With few exceptions, digital cameras self zoom a bit. So all lenses are more close up than their lens ratings would lead you to believe.

To go wide angle, in digital, you have to go very wide. But very wide angle lenses bring in some flaky things in color, dark corners, glare rings, and things to make nearly excellent shots just nice.. but .....mmmmmm

The ZOOM wide angle lenses magnify the weird stuff. So high quality wide angle usually means NOT zoom. The Tamron entry seemed to go wide enough that the SLR had that one all purpose lens which the film SLRs enjoy.

This is not that lens. The is - for digital - a really wide angle lens. The 10mm is crazy wide - in a zoom? But it works. Used outside, or in the right circumstances inside, is excellent. It is not the ONE lens for your SLR, unless you really don't like ever getting close up.

I have this Russian made super crazy wide fixed focal length lens (nearly 180 degrees) which with adapter fits nearly anything. It is good at that very rare crazy wide shot. But this Sigma lens has all the auto features and graceful adaptation to being outdoors - where how wide varies with what direction. Nice image quality with low distortion.

It is a great second lens.
