This Sigma 20mm F1.8 EX DG Aspherical RF is a unique Sigma offering with an aperture of F1.8 making it the fastest super wide angle lens available from any camera or lens manufacturer. For the scenic or landscape photographer it’s important to have a wide angle lens with excellent optical performance and Sigma’s aspherical lens technology provides high quality images for the serious shooter. Sigma’s 20mm lens has a field of view of 94.5º and yet provides for a close focusing lens-to-subject distance of only 2.6 inches. Such performance parameters provide great creative freedom to the photographer who wishes to exploit its capabilities for juxtaposing very near subject with the surrounding background. This extreme wide angle view also makes this lens ideal for crating “stitched” panoramic scenes for dramatic effect. The architectural photographer will find this lens attractive for shooting building interiors and the photojournalists will find its fast speed a life saver in low light conditions.

Sigma 20mm F1.8 EX DG ASPHERICAL RF Lens Review by cameratown.com

In conclusion I can honestly say that if you love wide-angle perspectives or if you shoot video with your DSLR you’ll love this lens. They really have this segment of the market all to themselves, at least for now. The fact that this is a full-frame lens means you can buy it now for your APS-C size camera and it can stay in your bag when and if you upgrade to a full-frame camera in the future.
