I have the Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 for my Nikon D90 and I absolutely love it. As to where to buy, have a search around on the net at all of the usual dealers, WEX, Jessops, Jacobs, Mifsuds, Park Cameras, Calument etc and see what prices are available. I bought mine a a small in town retailer and they were very competitive.

From comments I've heard, the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 is the better lens and is £50 pounds cheaper. All the people who have it swear by it and regard it as one of their best buys.

thanks for that, the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 works ok on canon 550d kind regards john

The reports that I have read suggested that the 3.5 was hardly worth the extra money as for long exposure shots as the camera would be tripod mounted anyway.

[john1969]

thanks for that

Forgot to say, welcome to the forum.

check out www.camerapricebuster.co.uk for price comparisons in most of the well established UK suppliers.

invariably you will get most things cheaper direct from Hong Kong via eBay, even with import tax & VAT but there are associated risks from buying from Hong Kong (though I've never had a problem)
