Never had this lens but I own two Sigma lens which have been pretty good to me for my Nikon camera. This lens is great for wide landscapes and architecture. It might even be okay with wide landscape astrophotography though you usually want to have a larger aperture/faster lens for that.

The lens that I own closest to this would be the 11-20mm Tokina lens and I think that is also a good buy (when on sale) if you plan to do any of the photography mentioned above (has a slightly wider aperture too which is nice for capturing more light).

Should mention that this is a DX lens (crop)

Also, it's been on sale for $299 past few times so the huge savings from $650 msrp is not as huge as you would think

Just double-checking: will this work with my Nikon D5100?

It says "F-Mount Lens/DX Format" - so the DX means it's compatible, correct?

If it is, would it be beneficial with my camera?

Yes, it will work with any Nikon dx f mount dslr. Whether it's beneficial or not can only answered by you. Do you need a ultra wide lens for the subject?

Unless you only need this for its wide angle I would pass. This is one of those lenses that you play with for a little bit and ultimately end up throwing in a bag and replacing because you find something with a better zoom range or aperture.

f/3.5 on a DX means low light performance won't be that great and little, if any bokeh. A 10mm zoom range this might as well not even be a zoom. Also this will obviously be less sharp than any of its prime counterparts. This seems like something Sigma created just to say they covered that range.

I have the older F4-5.6? Version.
Been great for Real Estate listings and super wide angles. I think I paid $150 used, like new, but no box.

My experience exactly. I bought the Pentax version a while ago for a similar price and while it was fun to play with for a while it's not really all that functional and ended up being more of a novelty to play with. DOF was disappointing, the bokeh it produces is kind of ugly, and I was never able to get particularly sharp images out of this lens.

If you just want something to screw around with, and this is an acceptable price, then it's a fun toy for playing with wide angles. But you'd probably be better off spending the money to get a wide angle prime so you could get a lower aperture and better sharpness.

Works and good for real estate or landscape photography but in the latter you have to know how to use wide angle lenses (put stuff in foreground and background to have an image with depth etc).
