jose_rivera9 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 <p>Hey all, Just looked through some of the past treads on the Sigma 10 - 20 but couldn't find what I was looking for. I am not looking to compare it to the Nikon or Tokina glass.<br> What I wanted to know if anyone has any examples from this lense. I just purchased and took photos of my classroom with the D80 on auto (Just working out the kinks.) Tomorrow I will use my d300 on some people portraits at about 15mm or less.<br> I appreciate all the help and knowledge.<br> Jose</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreas_manessinger Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Here are <a href="http://blog.andreas-manessinger.info/search/label/Sigma%2010-20">117 of mine</a>, made with the D200 and the D300 over the last 26 months. <p> It's a great lens, just put the lens cap aside and add an original Nikon 77mm cap. You should get it at any dealer. There's simply no reason to bother fiddling with Sigma caps, the worst in the industry. You may even consider changing the rear cap. It's not as bad, but it mounts in only one position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_in_PA Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 <p>Great lens</p> <p>Good luck with people portraits. It's too short for most any of those.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscourt Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 <p>Here's a handful from my photo.net portfolio:</p> <p>http://www.photo.net/photo/7697423<br /> http://www.photo.net/photo/7569333<br /> http://www.photo.net/photo/6755422<br /> http://www.photo.net/photo/7971000</p> <p>The main complaints I hear people make about the lens are its sometimes difficult distortion, crappy Sigma caps and the fact that's it's not a Nikkor :-) Personally I love it! Not sure it would be ideal for portraiture however.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_aspeli Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 <p>Flickr is great for finding samples. Search for pictures tagged sigma1020 or similar and you'll get a ton of results.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_in_PA Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 <p>Grzegorz,</p> <p>Not entirely true...</p> <p>Not every lens's distortion is easy to remove in PS. This 10-20 is among the hardest, because of it's complex "moustache" distortion at the edges. It is considered by many to be unsuitable for architectural photography because of that.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas_manessinger Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Photoshop is no suitable program to remove distortions, with its one-parameter approach it can only cope with the most simple of distortions. I use DxO Optics Pro for the lenses that it supports, and PTLens for all others. No problem, the Sigma 10-20 is supported by both, and the results are great.

jose_rivera9 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 <p>Thanks for the responses. I wasn't doing portraiture but capturing people interaction up close without leaving people out of the frame or cut in half. I am very with happy with the lens and the price is just right!!!</p> <p>Going to shoot again on Saturday</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
