 "Good superzoom" 2010-06-15
By Cristina Cardona (Ibiza)
Hello, I purchased this lenses for my D5000 Nikon camera. I'm quite happy with them although the image quality looks exactly the same to me as the Nikkor 18-55 lens kit.This one is, of course, a more powerfull lens, a good superzoom, which means I can carry them in my travels without having to change lenses all the time.

It looks well built, it's plastic made and a bit heavy but that's ok to me since it's the first lens I buy for my first DSLR camera, I'm still learning but I wanted a good quality lenses. When you move the ring it moves softly and firm.

Prior to this one I owned a Tamron 18-200 with no VR which I didn't like much because the image quality wasn't as good as the kit the camera came with. This ones are far better than the Tamron (and far more expensive too).

Some people say this lens creep, mine doesn't, when I point the camera down with the lock in the Off position, nothing happens, lens not moving a bit. Maybe when they get old they will creep, but not now. Hopefully they won't never creep.

So at the moment I'm very happy with them but I still think they are a bit overpriced, that's why the 4 stars over 5.

 "Excellent sharp images, great range, well built" 2009-11-15
By Joseph Downing (London, UK)
I have had this lens for about 4 months now, on the front of a D40 and more recently a D90 and have got to say its amazing. great, sharp, image quality, excellent build quality and the VR works really well. To be honest, if you are on the road or out and about shooting its really all you need. The only time I can think that you would want something else would be for serious macro work, ultrazoom or perhaps indoor portraits. This lens is pricey, that's for sure, but it is worth every penny!

 "super zoom" 2010-04-10
By Pm Collier (cheshire, england)
for the money a very good all round lens, although works better between 20mm and 180mm, for sharpness good, tends to search for focus in low light too. you get what you pay for saves changing lenses all time and in good light copes well.

 "Great lens" 2010-04-06
By R. Scriven (London England)
I have this lens on my Sony A550. It is a super lens, I have had some really great photos with it. I also have a Minolta 18-55 and a Minolta 75-300. This (almost) replaces both lenses in one. The colours are bright and clear, it works really well with the camera, no problems with focusing. The only downside is the restricted aperture at the far range, but that is always a problem unless you spend £000's on a lens and I for one am not about to.

 "not really what expected" 2010-04-05
By O. Wouters (Spain)
I thought that the other lenses that weren't Canon were of the same quality.

Talked to many fotographers and all agreed.

But NOT!! I get a much sharper picture with my original canon that with this Sigma lens.

So... I am still using my old one and only when I have to zoom in far away I use the sigma.

Bummer!

 "Excellent All Round Budget Lens" 2010-01-06
By P. M. Gough
I have been using the lens since Christmas and have been very pleased with the results. I have been using Sigma lens for many years and this does not disappoint. Although classed as a budget lens I have been quite satisfied with the results. It is a little soft at full aperture but stopped down to f8.0 it will certainly take an A4 enlargement and probably greater.



Some reviewers have found problems with slow focussing and lens creep. So far I have no issues with either though it is possible that these could occur in time.



Overall a great lens for the price.

 "Average lens for average price" 2009-11-19
By I. D. coulter (England)
Purchased this lens about a year ago. The build is excellent and it covers a very wide angle on a canon EOS cropped frame camera. It also saves you constantly changing lenses.

Unfortunately I found the photographs bog standard so I sold this lens and purchased 2 individual Canon Lens that cover this same range. One of these was a canon 55-250mm lens which gives excellent results (see the reviews on this site) and if you can manage it save up for the Canon 17-55mm, expensive yes but worth every penny (also see reviews of this on Amazon and other web sites)
