I purchased this for my back-up camera but use it a lot on my main camera as well, even though I have a Nikon 18-200 for that camera. Sometimes it's nice to have the little extra reach. My only complaint is that the zoom ring turns the opposite way as my Nikon and other Sigma lenses. This is disconcerting when you are in a situation that requires fast action and you zoom in when you intended to zoom out. Otherwise, it's a great lens.

I submit photos to a stock photo site and thus lens just wasn’t sharp enough for professional standards, I have the 150-600 Sports and it us razor sharp do I felt safe to get thus one. But not so. Chromatic aberration, too.

Not being a professional or even avid photographer, I don't feel qualified to rate this lens. But, after a few trips to the field, I can say that this lens has allowed me to take some of my best DSLR photos yet. The optical stabilizer is quite impressive (i.e., it works!). I was ready to sell (or pitch) my Canon T3i, but the Sigma lens has caused me to rethink that plan.

I don't leave home with out it. It saves me a lot of lens changes. The fact that the lens telescopes somewhat freely is something to get used to may be bothersome but it does lock for travel. It gives a nice crisp image.

This lens consumes power at the fastest rate I have ever experienced. I have a D500 and the Nikon lenes I have used with this camera consume much less power. Also the LCD does not go off after a photograph. I sent the lens to Sigma, but they found no problem. I would not buy this lens.

I wanted a good zoon lens for everyday use and this one fits the bill. The lens is light and compact. I can use without a tripod and get sharp images. The only feature I don't like is that the zoom ring moves opposite to the Nikon direction which takes some getting use to.

Nice, clear and sharp. Only two issues, first, at 250mm you get some vignetting with the lens cap on. Second, it seems to jump a little in the viewfinder when I try to focus. it's like the connection isn't stable and it did stop focusing altogether at one point until I removed the lens and put it back on again. I do wish it was weather sealed.

This is certainly a good lens for the money. Pictures are sharp and the overall image quality is excellent. My major complaint is that the zoom ring goes in the opposite direction of my Nikon lenses to zoom in. This is not only annoying, but I've missed a few shots where I needed to zoom in quickly and turned the ring in the wrong direction. If the lens is made in a Nikon mount, the zoom ring should be compatible with my other Nikon lenses.

I was looking for one lens to carry to a weeding in Homer Alaska and I found it. Pictures are great from 18 to about 250mm, and I really love the Macro capabilities of this lens. great lens at a great price.

Great buy. Nice macro for butterflies and birds. Nice sharp action shots of them at 800 iSO in low light. I wanted an inexpensive lens for travel that would be good for macro and telephoto and I'm very happy with this lens.

Great replacement for the old 28-300 the was broken.

Nice and sharp. Focuses very fast. A little noisier than I expected, but not enough to frighten any creatures away. Easy to focus even through trees unlike my other 200mm lens. Quickly focuses on birds in flight, also unlike my other lens All these photos have been cropped some and no tripod was used.

A very ideal lens for beginners or hobbyists. I used this lens on my Canon 70D that I carry in my car at all times for just in case I need a photo, as a photojournalist instead of my pro cameras and lenses. My 70D camera did require AF microadjustment on both the W and T. The negative side is the construction qualities, the focus ring moves during AF, and eventually the zoom mechanics will break down jamming the lens ability to zoom. A plastic guide broke. The same happened on a Sigma 17-50 f/2.8—loose turret zoom screws. I have replaced this lens with a Tamron 16-300—costs a bit more but has much better weather protection. better construction properties, and a wider angle and more telephoto.

I love this lens. It takes beautiful photos. It is very practical when you are traveling light. The only issue I have is that there is a lot of lens creep.

Nice lens for a wide range of shots. Makes it easier without the need to take multiple lenses along.

Amazing quality lens for a Canon T5i. I think I bought it for less than 500 and it is worth 1000.Great lens, and great price.

BLAKE B.

I love the lens. I have two lenses that do the same distance but it's so much better to have one lense to do it all. I have it on my canon 60D and it works great. I think I even like this brand better than the Canon brand. Would def recommend.

I use the 18-250 for general photography ... Nature ... the range from closeup to portrait to scenes and on to telephoto works for me .. using a Pentax K5

JOHN M.

A nice lightweight , small lens for everyday use. I put it on my "swamp camera" that I throw in the back seat of the truck no matter where I go. It's the camera I grab when the unexpected happens so I always get a picture. Then I go for the big camera and appropriate lens for the situation. It takes a beating from time to time but there is not a lot of money invested and over all it's a pretty good lens.

PATRICK L.

I'm using this lens to replace my Sigma 17-70 2.8-4 lens and my Canon 70-200 f4 IS because of size and weight issues. So far the 18-250 takes very good photos. I would definitely recommend this lens.
