Lens Overview — Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 DC HSM

The Sigma AF 10-20mm F4-5.6 DC HSM EX IF is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens built specifically for APS-C format DSLRs. Covering a focal length range of 10mm to 20mm, it offers a genuinely expansive field of view well suited to subjects where getting more of the scene into frame is a priority. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/4 at the wide end to f/5.6 at the longer end of the zoom range.

Designed around the APS-C sensor format, it is a purpose-built crop-sensor lens rather than a full-frame design adapted down. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus operation and is available in mounts for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Pentax K, and Sigma SA camera systems, making it compatible with a broad range of DSLR bodies. The filter thread measures 77mm, which is a larger common size that aligns with many professional-grade filters.

Weighing in at 470g, it occupies a moderate footprint for the focal length range it covers. Image stabilization is not included in this lens. Overall, it is a wide-angle zoom option with solid mount versatility and a straightforward feature set for APS-C shooters.

Key Features — Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 DC HSM

10-20mm Ultra-Wide Zoom: Covers an expansive focal length range that delivers a roughly 102° field of view at the wide end on APS-C sensors.
