Pros: Robust, practical, focal range

Cons: What can be expected from this perspective? The focus is more on the scene shot than on the "goodness" of the lens.

Opinion: Let's say that for the cost it is available it is a happy optic for recreational use, certainly for amateur use. It can be a wild card on an aps-c on the road where it is important to know how to use the focal lengths included and focus on the scenes shot. With a little handle and knowing how to dribble the defects, you can bring home good results

Pros: Build quality, versatility, price, sharpness

Cons: Low-light, slow autofocus and not always accurate

Opinion: A lens without too many pretensions, but that does its job well as a handyman. The sharpness, especially in the center of the frame, is good, even at the widest focal length. Too bad that brightness is not its strong point but, for a lens of this cost and with such a focal range, I think you can not expect more. The reduced minimum focusing distance makes it (although far from a true macro) quite effective in close-ups. It returns saturated and well-contrasted colors. The optical yield, therefore, is overall very satisfactory. The focus is not very fast, and not always accurate, especially on my Sony a100, while on the a700 it works better. Only one doubt: the lens should have the internal focusing motor, but on mine also appears the PTO ... Is it possible that the one for Sony A-Mount exploits, unlike the other versions, the autofocus motor of the SLR?

Pros: Excellent construction and finishes, excellent hood, discrete lenses

Cons: Fall of sharpness at the edges between 35 and 50mm, a little dark to 200mm, pesantuccio (610g).

Opinion: I purchased this Sigma for a handyman to replace the decent 18-105VR on my Nikon D90. I immediately liked the solid construction, finishing and the photographic yield. The sharpness is really good, especially at the center of the frame, at all focal lengths. My I got used to a great price. A blade is 18mm to 200mm, and also can be appreciated much. I made some great pictures of the moon and animals with excellent sharpness and excellent contrast. Great stabilizer, fast and accurate autofocus, even if the opening of a 200mm f6.3 does not help the ancient Multicam 1000 my D90. The only drawback to report, to 35mm and up to 50mm around the edge sharpness falls dramatically, you must close at least in f8 to retrieve it. The blur is good, a little hard but that's typical of these zoommoni, honestly I do not bother me. On holiday I was fully satisfied, and also generally as a handyman I'll use very soddisfazione.rn

Pros: Good construction, lens hood supplied focal comfortable.

Cons: little sharpness, not bright.

Opinion: It 'a lens had with my Canon 20D, very convenient to the focal, suitable for many situations, especially on the road, its sharpness for me is not satisfactory, especially at small apertures, good engine focus, I recommend this aim to who is the first weapons, it is better not to use it when you absolutely want to produce work, but the rest remains a lens convenient for some trip along with another camera body!

Pros: Cost is good materials

Cons: Shaded

Opinion: I'm new, I was advised that goal. Lenses very good although at high iso noise is heard and it shows:-) I do not get on well with the stabilizer, maybe it's my problem considering they are still two weeks I use it. We'll see how it will behave in Sardinia this summer. For one who started me now as I consider it discreet.
