Sigma 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

Lots of verbiage about lens comparisons, most of which neglect the primary issue - does the lens deliver, consistently, a clear, sharp image. This lens certainly does - through Europe, Asia, USA, S.A. A marvel of optical engineering. I compared this...

Sharp, light, responsive

Manual focus - need to adjust eye for the split image

Sigma 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 DG Macro review by eyrieowl

This was my first lens for my Nikon d50. Which was my first true digital camera (other than 3mp point-and-shoot i'd gotten with my printer). prior to that, i'd been shooting on a venerable Canon AE-1. I had a cheapie 28-210 zoom on that body (no, I...

REVIEW: Sigma 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 DG Macro

This lens is nicely compact for it's capabilities although it does extend somewhat as you zoom to the long end of the range. The extension, achieved by a double trombone, comes out some 52mm. It does so with quite a smooth action though and the second...

Good focal range; Compact and lightweight to carry; Excellent performance through the range; Cracking value for money

CA around the edges at the wider end; Distrotion just evident
