This lens replaced a Sigma 18-250 mm telephoto zoom lens. The new lens is used with a Canon SL1. My first tests with the lens indicated that the image quality is excellent, except at 300 mm, at which image focus is slightly soft.

is one that is making us take a close look at the category again. Designed for cameras with APS-C sensors, it isn't the engineering feat that the is. This is part of Sigma's Contemporary series, but instead feels like an Art lens in many ways.

At this point we would like to thank both the Sigma Corporation headquarters and its Polish subsidiary, the Sigma ProCentrum for a speedy delivery of the final specimen of the tested lens.

useful focal range; good image quality in the frame centre; chromatic aberration corrected noticeably better than in the case of direct rivals; proper correction of spherical aberration; distortion correction better than that of the rivals; moderate coma at longer focal lengths; not especially...

weak image quality on the edge of the frame (apart from the 50 mm focal length); noticeable vignetting at both ends of focal range
