Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM review
The Sigma 18-250mm F3.6-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM is one of the best of the current bunch of SLR superzooms, with decent optics, fast autofocus and effective image stabilization. It's a reliable performer, and its close-up capability is handy too.
Pros:
- Photographers looking for a compact, lightweight, all-in-one general purpose and travel lens.
Cons:
- Anyone unwilling to sacrifice image quality for convenience

SIGMA 18-250MM DC MACRO OS NIKON
"This is a very nice lens for travel. It will increase my reach and give me macro option as well. It balance well with D5100 body very well. It feel good on your hand.Another plus is the price, almost 50% less than Nikon's 18-200MM.

Buy this Sigma one time and you will never look back !!!
Don 't be afraid to buy this lens !!! I have several Nikon lenses and Tamrons and was skid dish about Sigma. I have had this on my Nikon for several months now and won't take it off. This is a #1 walk around lens. It's ready for anything. There is some weight to it but not too bad.

The new Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM differs from Sigma's earlier 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM lens in that it's physically smaller and lighter, it has better macro capability and it uses sigma's TSC (thermally stable composite) material which minimizes the effect of temperature on the...

Good all around lens
General uses inside and outside. Scenery and people, portraits, etc. Only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is the need to switch off Auto focus, in order to manual focus, unlike Canon USM lenses. Also it stops down to 5.6 sooner than Canon's 18-135.
Pros:
- Comes with Hood
- Compact When Retracted
- Great zoom range
- Light Weight
- Quiet
Cons:
- Manual Focus Is Switched
- Slower Ap Than Desired

Awesome walkabout lens
I wanted a solid walkabout lens for my D5100 without breaking the bank. I had the option of buying the Nikon 18-300 for about $1000 or a 3rd party lens. I really did't want to invest too much in glass for a D series mount as I can see myself moving up to an F series in a couple of years.

Great range at a good price
So far no sign of lens creep, common to many extended range zooms. Seems sharp throughout range, and the macro setting is an added plus.
Pros:
- Price
- range
Cons:
- Might seem heavy to some
- but not this old guy
