Sigma 10-20mm on a 5D/7D ... anyone?

[apchoo]

I'm interested in getting this one: Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM. I've read the handful of online reviews and saw the pbase photos taken with this lens. Seems to be generally good feedback ... almost as good as the Tokina 12-24mm F4.

Does any 5D/7D owner have this lens? What your feedback? How much does it cost?

That's the one that cannot take a front filter, right? And weighs a bit as well.

Any feedback from anyone who owns one of this then? How much did it cost?

No Minolta mount, only C, N & Sigma.

its inaccurate, even the 18-50 which does have M-mount but that chart doesn't states.

Well, we can't have best of all world in one body. I wish to have:
Canon, Nikon ranges of lens selection,
Konica Minolta AS,
Olympus Zuiko lens and ultrasonic dust removal,
Fujifilm censor's dynamic range.

tamron is the same as KM, so might as well get KM?
but only 355g seems very light, wonder how's the built and quality of glass (plastic?).
