I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

No doubt, a wonderful model, back in 2022 there were no analogues to it in terms of picture quality, angle, type of distortion (virtually absent barrel). But now, when there is sigma 10-20 / 4-5.6 and 10-20 / 3.5 - there is absolutely no point in buying it - monstrously expensive, with a less reliable construct, a second filter that fits into the frame, well, sigma comes with handbag and lens hood, which separately costs more than a thousand canon.

Pros

Excellent picture, relatively small aberrations and vignetting, acceptable drop in sharpness at the edges, light, small.

Cons

"To the touch" - much worse than competitors from Sigma (10-20). Plastic, zoom and focus rings do not move smoothly. By the beginning of the 3rd year of active use, I began to miss at a wide angle when shooting something that is 3-5 meters away. It focuses somewhere further, I met a similar problem not only on my copy. Another drawback: if you put two filters on it (for example, a protective y-violet and a polarizer), then at 10mm in two corners of the frame you can see strong blackouts - the edges of the filter fall into the frame, which, again, does not happen with Sigma 10-20.
