I'm looking at the Sigma 10-18.  Anyone using that, any comments, or any alternatives?

I recently purchased the 10-18 for my CL and although I've not used it much yet, I'm very impressed.  Decent build, surprisingly compact for a fast zoom, handles very nicely on the CL body, and image quality is looking great - I've not done lots of pixel peeping though.  It's a good companion to the 18-50, about which I'd say pretty much the same thing.

Have you looked at picking up a TL11-23? I have one and think it’s an absolute keeper.

Another vote for the TL11-23, definitely a good lens. no weak focal lengths. It is a little slow especially at 23mm. There are other fast 23s, I use the TL Summicron ffast or a back up, and when I want a smaller lens. On a trip to the UK this spring the 11-23 did 75% of my photos, outside and interiors.

I agree that the 11-23 is the way to go. I have been using one since it came out with the T body and it is really good for something so small. Superb build quality and results. I will never part with mine as it is fantastic for travelling. I pick this up over my Leica 16-35 every time when I travel abroad.
