I've had one of these for several years and it's always had a certain attraction. Now, this isn't a lens to stick on the camera every day but when you have one of "those" scenes I quite like how it renders the blues and greens. For wide shots, excellent, not so good for closer shots...better choices in the arsenal. Ideally, given my evolution of equipment, for doing scenery, it would be the K-1 with the 15-30 (currently, using every opportunity to exercise and explore the K-3 III). There is probably no quality comparison between the 10-20 or the DFA 15-30 worth debating. With the 15-30, on the K-1 secured to a tripod and you've got a serious contender. Whack the 10-20 (it won't fit the K-1) on the K-3 III for snap-shot adventures and I think it works: BTW, the 15-30 is "weighty", tripod use comes naturally...not so much with the 10-20 Sigma.
