And I'd really, really love to test it out and make sure I like it before the return period expires.

2. That lens is fun.
I haven't used mine as much as I'd like, but I have gotten some interesting shots with it. It makes particularly striking photos when you've got some object as the main focus in the foreground...otherwise, everything just looks really, really tiny and bent in at the sides, so it's not my favorite for straight-up landscapes.

3. Unfortunately, I already had to take it back. . . I was fooling with it inside and it started making
a very weird noise. Took it back to the store, they didn't have another in stock, so I guess I'll just wait a while.

4. Is this the Sigma 10-20?

I've heard it's a super lens, once you get a working one.

Quality control problems in the factory, or something.

Let me know your impressions, since it's on my list.

making some really weird noises and I didn't feel like sending it to Sigma, so I decided to just return it until I find a different one (they didn't have any in stock).
