The Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSMis a superwide-angle 2x zoom lens, specially designed for digital SLR APS-C or 4/3 cameras, which provide their owners with a high demand range of focal lengths 15-30 mm and maximum angle up to 110°.
The optical scheme of the lens consists of three aspherical elements (two hybrid and one molded) for correction of distortion and astigmatism and three SLD elements for correction of chromatic aberration. Multi-coating of optic elements reduces flare and halation, and increases contrast.
The Hyper-Sonic Motor of the AF drive provides noiseless and high-speed focusing and the possibility of constant manual focusing without switching to the manual mode. Nikon low-end models are equipped with a built-in motor. There is no HSM for the Sony and Pentax bayonet mounts.
The system of internal focusing eliminates the front lens rotation and provides convenient use of a petal hood and polarized filters, as well as focusing at minimum distance 24 cm throughout the entire zoom range.
The lens becomes approximately 1 cm longer while zooming from 10 mm to 20 mm. .

-
