Has anyone seen the latest 2 reviews in the lens review section for the 10-20 f4-5.6 EX Dc
2 new forum members, posting on the same day, one claimed he paid $80 and rated it as a 2, the 2nd claimed he paid $75 and rated it 1
Smells fishy to me.
probably some defective copies. besides, who would sell a $400 lens for $80? that's a redflag to begin with.

That's silly. I read the reviews, and it sounds like these two reviews are either completely bogus or defective copies. And color that's not pleasing? This lens produces superb color. I wish there were a way to flag reviews as trolls.

Here are two 100% crops to show that this lens can produce sharp images. The first is at 10mm and the second at 20mm. Both at f/6.3.

I think the reviews got removed or pulled out.

I'd like to see some more shots of this structure.

Go over to the Sigma Lens Club, page 20. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/lens-clubs/94597-sigma-lens-club-all-lenses-20.html
I posted some more on that thread. I was using my 17-70 so I couldn't post them here. I'll see if I have any other good ones with the 10-20 for posting on this thread though.

So many spectacular shots here. I am enjoying them all.

Today I ordered a Sigma 8-16mm. I want just a few more degrees of field of vision. Really need it for some architecture coming up. I cannot afford to have the 10-20mm as well so I'll be selling it soon. Shold have my 8-16mm tomorrow! Sweet!

For now, here is another from vacation a few weeks ago at:
Camera Pentax K-5
Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture f/4.0
Focal Length 10 mm
ISO Speed 100
