New Sigma WA finally looms

There's a rumor abroad in the land that the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 lens will
finally be out in August (a measly five months after it was announced). B&H
still doesn't mention it; but as of today, Adorama is taking orders ($650 US).
So if anybody reads or hears of a reputable review of said lens, please post a
link forthwith!! :^)

I have one arriving in a day or so for review. Sigma have asked me for
some early words about it as no-one else has seen it yet in the UK. It's
coming in Nikon fit and will therefore be used on the D5000 (which was
due to go back to Nikon to see if there was a fault with the awful sound
quality in video - but that will now have to wait).

I will post a review to the EU Sigma User website and to dPhotoexpert.
It should take all of five minutes to find out whether the lens
delivers, that's how it took to find out that the new Tamron was not an
option for the discerning wide-angle connoisseur.

The first link works for me.
$830 street price is not cheap.
The commenter on the following page says it's soft in the corners:

Could you please also post it here to this thread? Or at least a link to
the web article (that won't require registering to view).

The day after I wrote that, the lens showed up, in stock, on the B&H Web site
for the same price, plus &10 shipping. I think Adorama ships it free, but they
still didn't have it in stock.

But I won't consider buying it until I've seen some reviews and a comparison
with the Tokina 11-16 (which neither B&H nor Adorama has in stock).

The specs indicate that the new lens doesn't come with the traditional Sigma
case. Bummer.

It is an EX lens and comes with a case (belt strap only, no neckstrap),
hood and caps.
