will Sigma 10-20mm work with a Nikon D80 series to shoot high quality photos indoors in small rooms?

It works great with d80, very good lens for the money, just shoot at f11 or f8. Distortion can be corrected afterwords, happy shooting.

I use it on my D90 with excellent results. I also have a D50 and got excellent results at my granddaughter's rock concert last week. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a D80.

Yes it does AF with your camera, great lens for the money, very sharp at f8 and f11, there is distortion, which can be corrected. Happy shooting.

A quick internet search says the lens is compatible with the Nikon D80. As for high quality photos indoors-- the focal length of the lens is great for indoor rooms (not sure what you mean by small). High quality depends on your skills ;o

I use this lens with a Nikon D5100 and have found that it focuses quite fast indoors but I have shot mainly my kids lego tournament and choir in gyms. Others have taken basketball and volleyball photos - check out photos posted to pixelpeeper.com and the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 HSM group on flickr.com

No, it will not. It works just with a limited number of SIGMA lens. Have a look on the SIGMA website. It does not work with any lens of different company (Nikon, Canon, Pentax ecc.). Better: it can increase magnitude of 1.4 but you will loose both autofocus and automatic exposure. Frankly speaking, I use it (not frequently) together SIGMA 300 mm f: 2.8. The autofocus is not very precise, slow and the quality of the photos is not fantastic considering the whole amount of money that the lens (both) costed. Regards

If you are taking indoor architectural photos, it's a must. I use it for taking architectural photos for my job. I work for a construction company and at 11mm it takes the entire room. I use it with my Sony ALT65 and I love it. 18-250 isn't wide enough. You won't regret having the 11mm. It takes awesome pics, I set my focus to manual and set my lens at infinity and it focuses on the whole room. You won't regret getting this lens.

Yes, I have an D800 and it works great, I also used it with the D80 and it worked equally as well!

Mike: We use this lens on a Nikon D800 and it is an excellent lens. We had used Sigma lenses for years with various earlier Nikon cameras and the Nikon 18-300 is sturdier and gets much better resolution. Ours is the stabilized lens which also adds to the quality of photos. No experience with a D-80 however.

I'm not familiar with the D80, but I can tell you that if your camera has an internal focusing motor, it will work just fine. I used it on a D90 (the direct successor to the D80) without issue, and now it's my primary lens on my D7000. Just keep in mind that this lens was designed for a full-frame sensor. Due to the size difference between full-frame and the DX sensor (what the D40, D60, D80, D90, D5xxx series, D7xxx series, etc. uses), the focal length will be extended by about 1.5x.

Nikon will tell you to use the Nikon tc, and that is what I do, the sigma will work but I think focusing is quicker with the nikon.

The 50mm is actually more "zoomed out," and is therefore probably more functional for indoor family stuff. The 85 is awesome but isn't going to give you anything other than close-ups if you are standing inside of 15-20 feet from the subject.If versatility is your goal, I would strongly suggest something like Sigma 17-35 zoom. I think that's about F/1.8 as well. Same price range. That gives you the flexibility of zooming way out for wide-angle group shots and then back in for relative close-ups.

I do not own D80. I use it on Canon M with 'Fotodiox Nik-ESO M', manual focus.

I own this lens and use it for good general snaps. If I were shooting indoors looking for the best result I would have a 20-35 2.8, a 501.8 and an 80-200 2.8

Yes because the objective lens is quite wide (allowing for more light to enter - thus good for indoor use), but the piece is somewhat bulky and has some weight to it. If that's not an issue then yes, it would function well indoors where light is an issue.

I have both for my Nikon D300s. Sigma 17-50 2.8 is a much better choice. Range in slightly narrower but indoor performance, portrait photography, and bikes are better.

Definitely works with D800/D800e. BOTH HAVE iTT shoes. I have 2, really like size for around town shots. Recommend defuser as an option. Retired photographer. D800 / either great cameras.

Technically, it should work in the camera's DX crop mode, but it's not a lens I would recommend for a D800. In my opinion it's not a horrible lens for a 6 or 10 MP DX camera, the results probably won't look very good on the higher resolution sensor of the D800, it just doesn't resolve that high(or at least the one I had didn't.) I didn't know until I upgraded from the 6MP DSLR I had been using, to a 12MP model, where this lens didn't really resolve well enough for me to continue using it on that camera.

This is a dedicated macro lens, but can certainly be used for indoor portraits with sufficient lighting. I have used it as a telephoto lens with excellent results since it's considered a 'prime' lens and is tack sharp. Tripod not necessary if your exposure is correct for shooting at a minimum shutter speed of 1/40.
