Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had this lens for one week, and it is perfect for travel,
and when you don t know what where you are going to take pictures,

the built quality is excellent (as sigma does usual)
and it is very compact and light for a large range lens.

just not very sharp pictures at 18mm,
but with this kind of lens it is well known
and it is still better than the kit-lenses 18-55mm that I have.

if you see the concurrence : bigger, more bulky,
sometime the telephoto-lens increase by itself if you chose the wrong position...
and it can resist if you want to change focal between 18 and 200mmm,
with this one: you have NOT these problems !!!
of course there you can find more rage (18-270 for example),
but for me 18-200 is enough and also it is more compact,
there is no stabilization and ultra-sonic focus but,
first, the stab is not needed if you have a Pentax SLR,
and second, the ultrasonic-focus is more expensive
and not always needed and increase the size of the lens.

for me this lens is excellent with my Pentax K10D and my Pentax k-x
.... and by the way, this lens is not expensive at all.

Product Description:
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.
