"great wide angle lens with great sigma ex quality."

"Good for indoor shoot as it works well in low light condition. Also for creative macros for the combintation of wide angle that it offers."

"I have this lens for about 8 months. It has gone to Sigma 3 times for repairs -- BAD FRONT/BACK focussing."

What a poor review. You score this lens below average on a lot of features that don't exist on a prime lens like max focal length and zoom range. Either you've no idea what a prime lens is or you're suggesting a zoom is superior to a prime. Single focal length non-zoom lenses exist for a reason!
