📷 Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM Lens for Nikon SLR Camera (Previous Generation) Review

Bought this lens from Revain. Shipping was fast and the item arrived in good condition in secure packaging. I use this lens with my Canon T3i. It's been about a week since I received this lens. Overall, color reproduction and image quality are very good in the 18-200mm range. I am very happy with the performance of this lens. However, it should be noted that the motor of this lens is a bit noisy and you can hear it at times. It doesn't bother me at all. The quality finish and performance make…

I bought this lens for my Pentax K-30 and one of the reasons I chose this lens was the OS or optical stabilizer. When I received the lens, it turned out that the manual says "Optical Stabilizer is a feature that Pentax cameras do not support" and the title says OS and PENTAX. It's not as bad as I think since the K-30 has image stabilization, but if you're using a long focal length you're missing out on the lens OS. Even if you think this lens is pretty good. A little heavy, but that's to be…

When I'm in my studio I usually use a Canon EOS 5D Mark III full frame 22.3 MP 1080p Full HD CMOS camera Video Mode Digital SLR Camera (Body ) and L are glassy solid numbers, but when I go on a private trip and shoot outdoors I take this lens and a Canon EOS REBEL T4i 18.0 MP CMOS digital camera with a 3-inch -Touch screen and Full HD movie mode (frame only). Sometimes a professional rig gets more publicity than it's worth, so I put together a consumer rig that looks like the average tourist (I

This Sigma lens is perfectly packaged and fits perfectly on my Sony ILCA-68 A-mount camera. The fit and finish is excellent and the lens looks very well put together. I use it as an everyday lens and am very happy with the speed of the autofocus and the photos it takes in general settings. I deducted a star because the lens is VERY difficult to focus at 200mm; either with autofocus and especially with manual focus. The focus ring rotates somewhat freely, and less than a millimeter movement…

Mostly something (wide angle or zoom end) suffers, but this lens beats. Excellent image quality throughout. I picked it up after seeing it reviewed in Popular Photography. Also, while doing my homework online, I saw that many had more positive reviews than the Canon 28-135 USM. I actually have a 28-135 and am pretty sure I will be selling it now that I have this gem in my hands. The extra 10mm on the wide end really helps. Do your homework for yourself and you'll find that this can be a great…

I bought this lens with some skepticism due to so many attacks on Sigma and its increased aperture to 6.3. However, I have other "good" special occasion lenses for my D7000 and didn't want to spend money on a Nikon 18-200 just because I thought it was an all-round walking lens, so I gave the Sigma a try. (Just so you know I'm not cheap when it comes to lenses myself, I also have a Nikon 16-35 VR, 24-120 VR, 105mm DC, 105mm VR Macro, 50mm f/1.4, 85 mm 1.8 and 80-200 2.8.) I used it yesterday for
