Product Details

The Sigma 18-200mm OS Lens is on the face of it an ideal 'do-it-all' travel lens; the 11x zoom range, image stabilization and useful close focus distance combine to give great operational flexibility. But of course this versatility comes at a cost, as optical compromises must necessarily be made to provide such a long range in a single lens. And Sigma's designers appear to have chosen a set of compromises somewhat different to those made in competing lenses, giving their 18-200mm its own character and attributes.

	18-200mm high-zoom-ratio lens designed for Canon digital SLR cameras

Consumer Feedback

"The image stabilization works well allowing you to shoot lower light photos without a tripod. I was quite satisfied with Sigma's newest effort here."

"This is a great lens. Inexpensive, will probably be on your camera exclusively, and allows you to handhold the camera in low light situations. I never got to test it against Nikon's version, but the difference in price made the choice easy. I recommend this lens highly."
