Do-It-All Lenses. Superb Quality.

“...best-rounded general-purpose SLR lens currently on the market.”

“if you're after a convenient all-in-one lens for travel, then the sharpness delivered by this lens certainly makes it worthy of serious consideration, especially when compared to manufacturer’s own superzoom offerings. It's lighter, more compact, cheaper, offers more reach and performs about as well, if not better in some areas.”

“When viewed against rivals the Sigma performs very well indeed. For Canon users, it’s an excellent alternative to both the cheaper Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD and the more costly Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS.”

“This is an excellent choice for crop-sensor SLR users who want a long wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens.”

“This Sigma model is excellent value for money, offering good sharpness and performance, with a lengthy zoom.”

The Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM has received the 2012 TIPA Award for Best Entry Level DSLR Lens. The lens offers DSLR users with APS-C size sensor all-in-one capabilities. In practical use, the lens offers the 35mm equivalent of 27-300mm coverage, making it a highly versatile lens that is enhanced by Sigma's original Optical Stabilizer function and HSM movement. In the view of TIPA members, the 18-200 F3.5-6.3 makes possible the use of this one lens for a wide range of different subjects, offering photographers a compact and highly competent optical tool for landscape, portrait and even wildlife photography.
