Review: Wider than wide and as good or better than 10-20mm - I never knew how much I'd like wide angles until I bought the original Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 lens. It was sharp (on a D70), and it opened my eyes to a whole new perspective. Way different than the 18mm I was used to thinking was wide. That lens beget an "upgrade" to the 10-20mm f/3.5 lens (it offered some improvements). I used that chubby ens quite a bit on my D90, and I never wanted more in the 10-20mm realm, but I found myself using my 8mm fisheye more and more. I sold both of these lenses to buy this one. I'm quite happy with my decision. 10mm already creates challenges in framing, and 8mm takes that further. Your feet and even belly may appear in shots depending upon your posture (and size of belly/feet!). You will want to get as close as you possibly can to your subject to fill the frame and eliminate distracting and unwanted items in the frame. You will be rewarded with a sharp lens with limited distortions (apart from those inherent in ultra wide angle lenses). The zoom and especially focus rings are well damped and require deliberate action to move them. Given the limited zoom range and focal range (infinity comes quick, as the depth of field is immense) this is a plus. The build is solid and inspires confidence, and the included cap is quite nice. Technically it offers filter threads and a traditional lens cap, but the filter threads have limited use, and I use the entire module as a cap. It stays n quite nicely. You have this arrangement because of the bulbous front element. It's generally protected by the built in hood, and it's typical for lenses this wide. As I sold my other lenses to purchase this one, I can't do a side by side comparison. Looking at some of my older pics, especially those on my more demanding D7100, I find this to be the sharpest my Sigma ultra wide angle zooms and Samyang fisheye, and that says quite a bit among those peers. I feel this accomplishment is due both to Sigmas recent strides in lens design and quality control, as well as an introduction of high end materials for lens construction. You may still prefer the range of the 10-20mm lenses or their ability to use filters. Really the question is whether or not you want to go this wide. It's a great lens, but a highly specialized one. More than anything, this solidified my decision to stay with a DX SLR (vs full frame), as I no longer felt that was sacrificing the wide angle perspective to the 1.5x crop (I get that there are other benefits to full frame, but for me, that was my biggest concern with staying with DX). Highly recommended! ## Features - An ultra wide angle zoom lens for Canon digital SLR cameras - Incorparates four FLD low dispersion elements and three aspherical elements - HSM motors for quiet high speed focussing - Internal focussing - Suitable for Canon digital SLR cameras with APS-C sensors - USB Dock can be used by attaching it to a lens mount, therefore, each USB Dock is dedicated only for a particular mount.

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The widest lens for non-pro SLR bodies, and fantastic quality *by D***G on May 17, 2012* Note: I initially purchased this as an open-box Warehouse Deal, but it arrived broken. Amazon was great about accepting the return, and I reordered a new copy that has worked for 2 years with no flaws. This is an exceptional lens. Not only in the sense that it creates a very high quality picture, but also that it is for specific types of photography. This lens is not for portraits, group shots, or where you're looking for an ultra-accurate representation of a space or scene. This lens, at 8mm, is so wide that anything outside the center will look stretched and spaced, as this is a rectilinear lens and is constructed to preserve straight lines (unlike a fisheye, which will curve objects outside the center). If you shoot architecture, buildings, subjects that are more geometric in nature, landscapes, and so on, and you're looking for a unique lens that will give you a different perspective on your usual subjects, this is a stand-out lens. There's complex distortion at 8mm, and even at 16mm there's still complex distortion, so it's not perfect, but you'll be capturing so much of a scene that it's hard to notice the distortion. It's not a fast lens, but thanks to the size, it grabs a lot of light and can be used wide open in most situations without suffering from a short DOF. In fact, I usually stop down to F8 or so simply to cut down the shutter speed, although in scenes where you're capturing a significant amount of foreground, you'll probably want to stop down a bit as well. The focus motor is a little loud, but fast, and since you're not shooting people/wildlife with this lens, it really doesn't matter. It's heavy, firmly constructed, and has the much-discussed "cap and sleeve" design to cover the lens. I took this lens to the edge of the outback in Australia and hauled it through deserts, and in the US I've taken it up mountains, into forests, and around buildings, and it's handled a lot of different temperatures and humidities with no trouble. Due to the bulbous front element, it's important to be careful when setting your camera down or when you're in dusty areas, as a small bit of dirt on the lens will be magnified in a picture. I love this lens, and the extra 2mm compared to the other 10mm lenses on the market make me happy that it performs as well as it does. If you're looking to go as wide as possible, this is the lens to get. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM FLD AF Ultra Wide Zoom Lens for APS-C sized Canon Digital DSLR Camera - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1566449-8-16mm-f-4-5-5-6-dc-hsm-fld](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1566449-8-16mm-f-4-5-5-6-dc-hsm-fld) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
