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 the telephoto range. This system uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of the camera, and effectively compensates for camera shake by moving an optical image-stabilizing lens group. 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 Fully compatible with All Nikon Digital SLR cameras including the D40 and D40x 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 Nikon 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:  - very satisfiedI PURCHASED THIS LENS FOR MY NEW CANON XSI. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE ALL THAT IT CLAIMED TO BE. IT IS SHARP EASY TO USE & GIVES GREAT RESULTS. I WANTED AN ALL AROUND EVERY DAY LENS THAT COULD GET ME CLOSE TO A DISTANT SUBJECT WITHOUT THE INCONVIENENCE OF CHANGING LENSES. THE RANGE IS GOOD OPTICAL STABILIZATION WORKS WELL & IT IS AN ALL AROUND PLEASURE TO USE. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE IS IT IS QUITE HEAVY & YOU MUST GET USED TO IT. THE FOCUS RING CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR THE ZOOM RING SO YOU MUST BE AWARE ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent for the price!I bought this lens to go with my d40 and it worked without a problem. I have since gotten the d90 and use the lens with that body again, with no problem. This could be the only lens you ever need since it does everything! This lens replaced the 18-55 and 55-200 I was using previously. The only time I change lenses now is to my 50mm f/1.8 for certain shots, otherwise this lens is always on my camera. Of course there is no such thing as a free lunch since this lens does have a few(minor) ... Read More Rating:  - Good range but a little softer for my likingI had to return this. This lens was a little softer for my liking. Got some very good shots thou. At full zoom, the pictures are not as sharp as i would want them to be, but again, great for teh price! Rating: - I like it.I am not a professional. I searched around for a lens that I would not have to be changing and does well in low light conditions. This lens is doing a very good job for both. It is a little heavy but not that bad. Very nice lens for the price. Rating: - From a complete Amateur: I like this lensThough I'm still learning the SLR ropes, I'm a very plodding, picky buyer, and I don't buy anything over $30.00 unless I've done research. Yes, I'm "One of those." I wanted to find a good all-around lens for a Rebel XTi: I spend time at a remote lodge in Alaska, and the Central Valley of California. My wife and I like to travel. I don't like carrying around a lot of stuff. I want quality glass, but I know that I don't need professional gear. These are some of the things I knew going into this. ... Read More |
