Top Reviews  A great prime use lens 14 of 14 people found this review helpful. As a professional photographer for over 40 years, I came into the digital age kicking and screaming all the way. I now use a Canon 20D for most of my documentation photos. I have used the 18-125 extensively since it first came out and decided to get the 18-200 as a back-up. I like the idea of a little more oomph at the telephoto end. I have been impressed with both, the shots are sharp, clear, with good contrast, the close focus is impressive and the fact that you don't have to change lenses (which introduces dust to the sensor)as often makes it ideal as the main lens for your camera. I only wish it had a faster aperture. For very low light,fast action situations, f/6.3 is pushing it. Overall, it is one of the best lens buys you can make and I highly recommend it.

Great lens designed specifically for digital SLR cameras with the smaller APS sized sensor, such as the Canon 20D or XTi have. I own many lenses, but this will now be my workhorse lens 99% of my photography. Only extreme wide angle or supertelephoto are outside its range, or alternatively when wide apertures are necessary. Not a pro lens, but an extremely good and useful consumer lens. Review ID: 10000000002671483 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Reviews  Not a Canon But Good for the MoneyIf I could afford it, I would've purchsed a Canon zoom lens for my Canon Digital Rebel XTi but I don't so I won't. Instead, I bought this Sigma zoom lens and it's okay. Not up to my professional standards but with editing tools I can sharpen every photo that needs it, and most do with this lens. My advice: if you can afford the Canon BUY IT and skip this second-rate lens. Money talks AND makes photos looks BETTER. Sad but true in this case.

I love the range of this lens: how it can go from wide angle for landscapes to a pretty decent zoom. It auto focuses pretty fast and quiet. It is real compact and easily fits into small camera bags. The lock for the zoom mechanism is handy wen storing. The optics are nothing special but much better than a kit lens. The front head doesn't rotate, so you can use polarizing filters, filter holders, and the included petal lens hood. The build quality is sturdy and has a metal mounting ring. The negatives are few but for the price compared to an "L" series lens you get what you pay for. The problem is the speed: The widest aperture is 3.5 in 18mm but zoomed to 200mm it goes up to about f6. This isn't a problem at all on sunny out door conditions, but if you are going to shoot sports indoors without additional lighting you will be needing a different, faster, L or IS lens. Overall, I rarely take this lens off my camera, it works so well in diverse conditions. It's definitely worth the money, especially when compared to the prices of competitive zoom setups. I chose this one over the 28-300mm because I wanted the real wide angle for my 20D. If you take care of this lens, it should last a long time. Review ID: 10000000005530297 Was this review helpful?
