This is a great travelling lens with 18 - 200mm it covers lots of area wihout having to keep changing the lens.

I bought this lens for a Sony A700 to replace my Sigma 28 -105 aspherical as a walk around lens. It focuses quickly and does a good job at separating the subject from the background. It is very much like the sigma 70-300 DG. Its compact and has a lock to prevent "creeping" Picture quality is good. Really good at f9. AF motor is a little noisy but I'm not a spy so. There is some barrel distortion at 20 -18mm, but I expected that with the range the lens covers.

Bought 1 year ago. I have been using it on all my trips (Europe,Vegas,Caribbean),same quality as my Sigma 18-125 which I used with my Nikon D70.Very lightweight and compact. Difficult to defocus background in portraits.

I use this lens as my primary lens. It is light and compact and yet provides a wide focal range. Coupled with my camera's built in stabilization and a tripod when necessary and I have no trouble getting sharp pictures with this lens that enlarge to 16x20. The construction feels solid yet it light enough to easily travel with.

Good lens when used in proper lighting conditions.
This high zoom ratio lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras and 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 lensesoffer the utmost correction for all types of aberrations, and enables this extended range super zoom lens to be housed in a compact and lightweight construction of 70mm (2.8") diameter, and 78.1mm (3.1") in length, and weighing just 405g/14.3oz. The new lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem of digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7") at all focal lengths and has maximum magnification of 1:4.4.
The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system, which prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal shaped lens hoods. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use. Azoom lock switch eliminates 'zoom creep' during transportation, a convenient addition when traveling.
