Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC
Do a lot of outdoor activities and changing lens is a real pain. I bought this lens because in the midst of changing a lens I would often miss the shot. That's the real issue because getting the photo trumps the pixel perfect image quality. Sure spending $10000 on great lenses will get the quality.
Pros:
- Great all purpose lens
Cons:
- Not weatherproof

Worse than I thought
I have had this lens on my XTI for about 4 months. I am not sure about all the photo terminology, but I can tell you the following: If you are taking shots of people, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LOT OF LIGHT. Otherwise, the picture will not be sharp.
Pros:
- Zoom range
Cons:
- Difficult to obtain SHARP shots

Optically sharp, but focus errors at 200mm on distant objects
Epinions doesn't allow embedded photos, which is a shame for camera/lens reviews where the photo is
Pros:
- Small, compact
- Good optics for such a wide range
Cons:
- Soft corners at 18mm wide open
- Canon version must be focused parfocally above 135mm

Great lens good all rounder
Great lens, focus and aim is great. A little noisy at times & doesn't perform well in the heat struggles to focus a bit but nothing a little flick off of the power button can't handle. Good quality well made and has taken some amazing pictures at close and long range

Disappointed
Although this is a nice lens, I'm disappointed that the one I received is less than stellar as it has quite a bit of dust inside as well as it tends to "vibrate" at times when you press the shutter button half way down. Am hoping that this company does the right thing & correct the issue.
