Does anyone know of any reviews of this lens? I know it has been discussed on here before but I don't think there were any links to reviews. I am planning on getting a new 10-20 but this one is a bit of a tempting alterntaive. Can't seem to find any reviews though. Also there seems to be contradictory information on the web about whether it will take filters.

Thanks for that John! Not sure why that did not come up when I googled it......

It sounds quite good but for one problem. I just had a look on the Sigma website and it won't take filters, so I will get the 10-20.

Well, I've done it now! I couldn't resist the good price SRS have on this lens at the moment! Guess the K5 will wait a bit longer....

Aparently it DOES take filters - attached to the hood. The SIGMA site says it doesn't take filters at all - which had also stopped me getting it.

Anyone got the lens? How are you finding it.... and are there any problems using filters?

There have been a few reports of some lenses being off-centre with the distortion. Has anyone had a problem with this?

Looking forward to some sun!!
Martyn
