[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 152451, member: 12977"] I bought the Sigma 10-20 for my DX cameras for a few reasons: 1. I found a good deal on a Like New one from someone I trusted. 2. Sigma is the only non-Nikon brand of lenses I've ever used and all 3 of those Sigma's were excellent. 3. It has more range than the Tokina. 4. It's wider than the Tokina. 5. I don't really need 2.8 on a lens this wide. I do like 2.8 in the mid range so I have the Sigma 17-50 2.8. Again, these are my reasons. You may have different needs and preferences. Having said that, I haven't actually shot with the 10-20 yet so I can't say how it performs. I've only had it a couple of weeks and I haven't needed the wide angle for my DX much lately. I've been spending all my time shooting the D800. I suppose I should shot a few frames and determine if I want to keep it or not. As to filters, yes, it takes 77mm. However, I don't think I'll be using them on this lens. I would typically use a polarizer for certain shots but those can cause issues with skies below 24mm or so. [/QUOTE]
