Cons: corners are too soft at 10mm

Pros: sharp at 14mm~20mm, and center area at 10mm

Summary: I noticed that other people paid $800 ~ 950 for it. At that price I'd say it's not worth. But me I paid $650 so it's not that bad.

Cons: Very Soft at f3.5 Doesn't improve a lot until f8

Pros: Build quality

Summary: I found this lens to be very soft. Maybe i just purchased a poor copy, but its typical of Sigma quality control. You never know what your going to get. Pity, as I really wanted to like this lens. Ive learnt my lesson, never buy sigma. Stick with a Cannon or Nikon instead.
