Very nice lens.

Specifically wanted a large F stop lens for night photography of stars on our up coming trip out west. This lens filled the bill. Reasonably priced and it does Macro very well. Goes well with my two other Sigma telephoto lenses.

solid used product

This lens is sharp and clean. I think it was an E on the Adorama rating list but I would give it a higher marking. Very clean and well kept.

Sorry, not a good lens

This lens is only semi sharp at f/8, so if you need some lens sharper in lowlight this is not the choice. Otherwise, right side is almost always blurry. I send the lens to Sigma to calibrate and it returns the same.

This lens is sharp and fast

I'm very pleased with this prime lens after the first two months. It's been terrific for shooting in low-light without a flash, and even hand-held shots under those conditions come out nice and sharp. I am also very pleased with the boka. The only potential downside -- you can forget about using your built-in flash with this lens, because it's so broad you get that ugly arc shadow in your frame. But like I said, the great thing is you can shoot natural light even in very dim conditions. I also got some lovely video with this lens on my Canon EOS 7D.

Good lens

This is a great lens for the price. Its fast and sharp when you open it up a bit and its not terrible 1.8 either. For the money i would say its a great buy. The only problem is its 82mm filter size is huge so you have to spend a million dollars to get any kind of filters for it.

Sigma 20mm F/1.8 Specifications

About Sigma 20mm F/1.8

Sigma 20mm f1.8 EX DG Aspherical RF is one of several EX Series lenses. It is the first 20mm Super wide-angle lens in the world with a large aperture of F1.8 and angle of view 94.5°. It has Macro focusing capability with a minimum focusing distance of 20cm/7.9inches (reproduction ratio 1:4).

The iris diaphragm has 9 diaphragm blades to obtain beautiful out of focus image. It incorporates an aspherical lens element in the front as well as rear lens groups, to minimize distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism.

The lens has non-vignetting optical construction, in order to obtain adequate peripheral brightness with open aperture. This is especially desirable for digital cameras. The lens incorporates a rear focus system eliminating front lens rotation, thus allowing the use of a Perfect Hood and easy use of polarizing filters.

The lens also incorporates dual-focus mechanism. It is easy to hold the lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto-focus, yet it provides adequate focusing torque of the focusing ring during manual focusing of the lens. The lens materials used in this lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass.

What's in the box:

  • Lens Hood
  • Front & Rear Lens Caps
  • Pouch Case
  • 1 Year International Warranty plus 3 Year Sigma U.S.A. Extended Warranty (Total Warranty is 4 Years from Date of Purchase)
