Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras :woohoo:

Looking forward to taking pictures with it. In 3 weeks a very nice vacation is due ... the lens will be used quite often I am sure.

1. I think you'll love this lens...

I have it, and I love it.

Only problem I've had is the lens hood was loose fitting. It came off way too easy for my liking...

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Thanks for the tip Matt

I will keep it in mind.

I also bought a polarizing filter for the lens.

9. Do some experimenting with the lens and CP filter.

The very wide angle of view will often create uneven effects with the CP filter. Some folks don't like it; some folks don't mind it.

14. I will

thanks

3. I have that one too

I like it, but the lens hood is long gone.... did not do too much anyway

[MissHoneychurch]

6. That is good to hear

that you like it. Considering the pictures you take ....

OK, so that means taking extra care of the hood.

4. That's a fun lens.

I've had really good results with it.

7. Can't wait to try it out

OK I already did take pics with my view and I am impressed by its range. But the pics aren't worth posting.

10. You probably already know this,

but with these very wide lenses, it's a good idea to have something in the foreground as your main subject to focus on, otherwise everything looks very, very tiny. I learned this really early on when I took a photo of the Anchorage skyline from my favorite spot and could barely see the city off in the distance.

13. It is my first experience with a wide angle lens

so thank you for the tip. That sure helps to know :)

"What does it do when it dos it?"

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Help take pics?

11. OKAY

I'll stop being lazy and check into it.
I have missed you!

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Not at all. Not at all

It is a wide angle lens. And I plan to take some nice pics with it :D
