Editorial Review: Product Description: The Sigma 18-200 F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Lens incorporates an Optical Stabilizer function and is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. It is perfectly suitable for low light conditions whether indoors, at dusk, or in telephoto range. This system uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of the camera by moving an optical image stabilizing lens group, to effectively compensate for camera shake. It also automatically detects panning movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subjects such as motor sports. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and aspherical glass provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7") throughout the entire zoom range and has a maximum magnification of 1:3.9. Since the inner focusing system means the front of the lens does not rotate, optional circular polarizing filters and the supplied petal-type hood can easily be used. A magnification scale is displayed on the lens barrel, ensuring ease of use. A zoom-lock switch mechanism is provided to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight. 69.3 - 7.1 degrees (Sigma SD format) angle of view 7 Diaphragm Blades F22 Minimum Aperture 45cm / 17.7 Minimum Focusing Distance 1 - 3.9 Maximum Magnification Petal Lens Hood Dimensions - Diameter 79mm x Length 100mm Weight - 21.5 ounces (610 grams) Amazon.com Product Description: The Sigma 18-200mm high-zoom-ratio lens is designed exclusively for Canon digital SLR cameras and is capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto. Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and two hybrid aspherical lenses correct for all types of aberrations, letting Sigma house the extended-range super-zoom lens in a compact and lightweight body that measures 70mm in diameter and 78.1mm long and weighs a mere 14.3 ounces. The new lens coating, meanwhile, reduces flare and ghost--a common problem shared by many digital cameras--while also creating an optimum color balance. Other details include a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7) at all focal lengths, a high zoom ratio of 11:1, and a maximum magnification of 1:4.4. The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system that prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal-shaped lens hoods. In addition, the overall length of the lens never changes during focusing, making the lens convenient to handle and easy to use. Finally, the lens's zoom lock switch eliminates "zoom creep" during transport--a convenient addition when traveling. The lens, which includes a metal mount, is backed by a one-year warranty.

 Rating:  - Great Lens for the MoneyI purchased this lens in September '07 after I spent a week in FL and I was tired of changing between my 17-70 & 70-300. During those changes, I often missed good shots. I considered the Tamron 28-250 VC. However, I wanted the extra mm at the wide angle end. Also, I realized there was not a large difference between 200mm & 250mm at the telephoto end. The first test was a trip to Turks & Caicos where the lens worked beautifully. However, after a few months, I noticed extreme vignetting ...

Rating: - Sigma for Sigma digitalThe sigma lens for Sigma digitals is light weight and very easy to use. It doesn't seem to focus quite as fast as Nikon lenses but it still does a nice job. Rating: - Sigma made a fine lens- New HSM motor is wonderful! I just purchased this lens and received it yesterday, AUG 21. What I can say from my initial impression is that I am very glad that I purchased it! the writing is on the wall with the reviews, just go look them up, but here are the key points I notice: -NEW HSM MOTOR- VERY QUIET! I have read reviews about the "old" micro-motor that was in the earlier copies of this lens being a distraction, the new HSM one is silky smooth and AUTO FOCUS IS QUICK. I would not hesitate to take this to a wedding, ... Read More Rating: - Perfect walk around lensI love the performance. Best fits wedding shoots. As an amatuer, with one body, it lessen the time of changing lensen, unless very neccessary. for me i love it. |
