Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM Lens for Pentax Cameras, USA

I use the lens as my 'normal' lens; it's the one always on my Canon7D. Focus is sharp and the IS function works well. It's lighter than my old 10-200 with a filer size of 62mm vs 72mm. So far, I'm pleased with it (only used it for a month).

I had higher hopes for this lens. The Sigma 17-70 is in my bag and is leaps and bounds better than this lens. The clarity just isn't there and I have to push my ISO in order to get the image. If it's not too late, I'm returning this lens and will do more research and save my dollars to afford a quality lens.

Used it from graduation. Great for finding who you want to take pictures of.

The optical stabilizer works beautifully, even at max zoom. This is the only lens I purchased (so far) with my DSLR. I didn't want to have to change lenses and potentially expose the sensor to dust. Perhaps later, I may want to get additional lenses for specific uses, after I've become more proficient. But this is the perfect starter lens, at a comparably good price.

the price was right, and since I like to keep it to one lens when I travel , this makes a lighter , less bulky package of my canon rebel, without losing much telephoto , etc.

I bought this lens to replace the very good Nikon kit lens. I wanted more zoom without having to change between the 18-55 and 55-200 and this fits the bill perfectly. So far the pictures have come out great with the limited amount I've been able to play with it so far. The construction feels sturdy enough, the auto focus is very quick and quiet and everything performs as expected. I'd suggest this lens to anyone looking for more zoom than their kit lens, or an all around travel lens.

This is my first non-canon lens. I am using it with T3i The Good - Solid build. Compact and Lightweight. Fast, accurate, and reasonably quite Auto Focus. Good IQ for the price. Zoom Range (29 - 320 for T3i) Outdoor closeups are great, it gives smooth background blur @200mm. The Bad - It creeps. It can be locked only at 18mm. Some stickiness in zoom mechanism at mid-range. F6.3 is a minor issue, It affects only if you are shooting in poor light with above 80mm zoom and Evaluative metering. Overall - Nice travel/walk-around lens.

Designed exclusively for smaller APS-c size sensors A little soft at high end but all 18-200 lens share this problem. Wife uses this on her Canon 60d.

One wish is that it could lock at any desired Focal Length. The lens does creep to the higher focal length.
