Comments about Sigma Sigma 18mm - 50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Autofocus Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
at a consisitant 2.8, much quicker than a
kit lens. in low light, body flash is sufficient.
no need for flash attachment in casual indoor
shooting. a great value.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 18mm - 50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Autofocus Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
I was looking to upgrade from the kit lenses. I started looking at the Oly ZD 14-54 and this one caught my eye. The constant 2.8 aperture was appealing and I didn't need the "water proof" Oly since my camera isn't either. It seemed like bigger bang for the buck. I decided to go for it & boy am I glad I did. This lens is sharp edge to edge. The 2.8 allows me to shoot low light situations without having to boost ISO beyond 800 (in most cases). I use it mainly as a portrait lens at the 30-50mm range and it outperforms the resolution of my puny 8MP sensor (E-300). I have shot my son's communion, a friend's quinceanera, several of my friends' family & kids, senior pictures, and my nephew's & nieces baby pictures as well as some maternity pics. This is my "go to" lens in every one of those situations.
I am not into macro photography but have tried a few flower & bug pics and this lens does not disappoint.
If you're on the fence debating on whether you should or shouldn't, get off that fence & get it! You'll be happy you did.
F 3.5, 1/125th, 200 ISO

Comments about Sigma Sigma 18mm - 50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Autofocus Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
The lens has been an excellent upgrade for my E510. The picture quality has been very sharp. Going to manual requires a couple of steps to coordinate the camera and the lens, but manual focus is very straightforward. I have used the lens for landscape and macro work with very good results.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 18mm - 50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Autofocus Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
I upgraded from the Olympus kit lens. This lens gives me the lower light capability that I wanted. Plus, the images are sharp and clear, excellent colors. It is larger and heavier, but not enough to deter from using. This lens stays on my camera most of the time.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 18mm - 50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Autofocus Zoom Lens for Olympus Four Thirds mount Digital SLR Cameras.:
This lens is tack sharp, gives wonderful bright images. I have been a Sigma fan for a while now. I bought this rather than the Olympus 18-50 because it is f2.8 all the way. It is heavy and built outstandingly well like the 24mm f1.8. A lens you definately will love. Not a lightweight in any way but worth every penny. [...]
