Product Description
This 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) high power zoom ratio lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras and is capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto. It is equipped with Sigma's own unique technology of OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This function uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of the camera and works by moving an optical image stabilizing lens group, to effectively compensate for camera shake. It automatically detects movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subject such as motor sports. Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and three aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghost. This lens provides superior image quality throughout the entire zoom range. An inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and the petal-type lens hood supplied
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sigma 18-200mm high-zoom-ratio lens is designed exclusively for Canon digital SLR cameras and is capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto. Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and two hybrid aspherical lenses correct for all types of aberrations, letting Sigma house the extended-range super-zoom lens in a compact and lightweight body that measures 70mm in diameter and 78.1mm long and weighs a mere 14.3 ounces. The new lens coating, meanwhile, reduces flare and ghost--a common problem shared by many digital cameras--while also creating an optimum color balance. Other details include a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7) at all focal lengths, a high zoom ratio of 11:1, and a maximum magnification of 1:4.4.
The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system that prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal-shaped lens hoods. In addition, the overall length of the lens never changes during focusing, making the lens convenient to handle and easy to use. Finally, the lens's zoom lock switch eliminates "zoom creep" during transport--a convenient addition when traveling. The lens, which includes a metal mount, is backed by a one-year warranty.

Excellent "walking around" lens.......2007-12-13
I have been using this lens almost exclusively during the past month on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. The focus is slightly noisier than the Cannon lenses and perhaps a bit slower, especially indoors in dark light. However, picture quality is excellent, OS works great, and having the 18-200 range is fantastic for taking a single lens on short trips. This is a great lens for the money.
Excellent.......2007-12-04
this lens is very good. I had this lens for a week and i'm satisfied. But little noisy when the OS and AF were on. For this price is worth it.
Sigma 18-200 OS lens w/Canon Mount.......2007-12-03
Had this lens for about 6 weeks and it has performed beautifuly. Photographed a wedding, a family portrait and two family event with the lens (well over 1,500 images) and have not taken it off my 40D since it arrived. Not used it under extreme dim-light conditions yet so don't know about the low light focusing. Ready to sell the two lens this lens replaces.
excellent .......2007-11-29
The lens works very well creating sharp images in challenging situations. The fact that it starts at 18mm as opposed to 28mm as many the OS zooms do and extends to 200mm give me the flexibility to truly have a "one lens solution."
Sigma Zoom Lens for Canon SLR AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) .......2007-11-21
This is a great lens! It blows away the standard lense that comes with your Canon SLR. The zoom allows you to get those close up shots without a tripod because of the stablilier. The lense is heavier than the standard 55mm lens but is great to have and it is lighter than the Nikon 18-200mm Lense with OS. Anyone who loves to take pictures I would say must get this lense it will make a huge difference in your photos. Well worth the money.

This Lens Rocks!.......2007-11-22
I've been using this lens with my Canon 20D for 3-4 months now, and I think I've taken it off only once or twice in that time. I love it. Its focal length range makes it incredibly versatile, and it's tack sharp through most of the range. Not as much distortion as I would expect at the 18mm end, and (as long as I keep a fast enough shutter speed and/or stabilize the camera) very crisp at the 200mm end. Best of all, when you're zoomed all the way out, you can actually get pretty close to a subject (within a foot or so) and still get a focus. Most longish lenses won't let you get anywhere near that close.
Another bonus with this lens: the seal with the camera is much tighter than with any of my Canon lenses -- so way less sensor dust!
It's my all-time favorite lens.:)
Very good walk-around lens.......2007-10-20
I've had this lens for about 9 months and have shot thousands of photos with it. It's really a great lens for a frequent traveler like me. I keep it on the camera and toss it in my computer bag and go. The very wide zoom range is ideal for everything from group shots to shooting sports from the stands. For this capability and price, it does have some drawbacks, of course. It's rather slow, and therefore not well suited to shooting intimate gatherings at night or dimly-lit museum exhibits; you'll have to crank up the ISO to 1600 to get decent shots. And its images are noticeably soft in the middle range. (Get a $75 Canon 50mm f1.8 "plastic fantastic" and compare.) I'm preparing to give this lens to my niece and upgrade to either the OS version (optical stabilization) or maybe the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS (image stabilization) and a long lens, which would be much more expensive and less convenient. This Sigma is hard to beat.

Great all around lense.......2007-07-29
Let me start by saying I am not a professional photographer. I take pictures of family at various events. Having just one lense with such a wide range is perfect for me. I found myself switching between my 18-55 and my 75-300 2 to 3 times an event and it did not make sense. I am very happy with the range and quality of this lense.
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC lens for Canon Digital SLR.......2007-07-29
Photography is a new hobby for me. Because I have very little experience with the camera, I have had to rely on what others tell me and what I read. I chose this lens because I felt the wide range would suite my needs best as a beginner. I am so happy that I did. It is very easy to use and takes great pictures. I used it on the family beach vacation for my first big practice session and the results are beautiful. When I am ready for another lens I am sure to by another Sigma. Very Pleased.
Product Description
Exclusively designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras. The image circle was designed to match the size of the image sensors of most digitalSLR cameras and this has resulted in a compact lightweight lens. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations and makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. Compact-Lightweight zoom lens has a maximum diameter of 62mm (2.4in.), overall length of 67.5mm (2.6in.) and weight of only 250gr (8.7 ounces) and filter size of 58mm. Compact dimensions offers superb handling and mobility. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations throughout the entire zoom range and produce high level of optical performance. We took digital characteristics into consideration when designing the lens powerlayout and created the most suitable lens that makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. We used the most appropriate coating for digital products to cut down flare and ghost caused by digital SLR cameras and to produce the best color balance. It can be used with the supplied lens hood to block out extraneous light. 18-50mm F3.5-5.6 DC zoom lens has a minimum focusing distance of 25cm (9.8in.) at all focal lengths and is capable of macro photography with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.5. The focus ring provides easy operation in manual mode. A distance scale on the focus ring is an easy to use and convenient.

AF Broke within 6 months.......2007-05-08
Ok lense while it lasted but AF was sketchy for a few weeks before it wouldn't work at all.
You get what you pay for.......2006-06-14
I have used a number of Sigma lenses throughout the years and I have been quite satisfied. I have a 28 - 300mm lens that I used with my 35mm Canon A2e. A few years ago when I made the switch to digital, I called Sigma and for around $75, they converted the lens to work with my new digital equipment. I have 3 Sigma lenses that I use now. I have had the 18-50mm less than a year and it takes great photos, HOWEVER, when you twist the lens hood off and on the lens, it turns the focusing gear. Mine has stripped out and you can hear gears grinding as the camera tries to focus. Somehow it does still manage to focus but it is slower and quite noisy. I know it is only a matter of time before it stops working altogether. I have replaced this lens with another Sigma, but I chose a higher end model with internal focusing. The 18-50mm would be a great lens at a great price for the occasional user if much care is taken with the hood.
Entirely satisfied.......2006-04-07
Inexpensive entry-level short zoom. Good value for the money, especially if you don't have anything to cover this focal range. Build quality seems a half-notch above the standard Rebel XT kit lens.
