Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM For Canon EF

Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM Review

The Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM lens trades some optical quality for a compact design, low cost, and long zoom range. The Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM ($399) is, considering its zoom range, a fairly compact all-in-one lens that's available for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma, and Sony APS-C cameras.

The front element is static during zoom and focus, so using a polarizing filter is feasible; the lens has a 62mm filter thread. A reversible lens hood is included. There are two control switches on the lens barrel—one toggles image stabilization (unless it's paired with a Sony or Pentax camera; they have in-body stabiliz...

Great Travel Lens

This is an upgrade to my previous Sigma 18 - 200 which I accidentally dropped. It is lighter than the last one. Of all lenses of this type I have tried, Sigma always come out top for me in terms of sharpness. It is a great lens for travel and goes well with my Canon EOS 700D.

Wonderful sharp lens for the price

I spent a lot of time comparing this lens with others as a potential replacement for the Nikon 18-55 kit lens and the Tamron 18-200mm I had been using as a Hiking Lens. I gave the Tamron away and decided on the Sigma following detailed study of DPreview.com great lens sharpness and performance...

"Lens that makes photography a little easier"

I bought this lens after a massive amount of research, I wanted to find a lens that compromised of two possible lens into one big lens so it would be easier to carry around. I also was feeling very limited by the current lens I had which was Canon 18-55mm basic kit lens.
