  • Sigma 18-250 OS macro HSM
Style: Black
I wanted a lens I could use for video without having to use my large fluid head tripod. I have lots of good 2.8 and f4 Nikkor glass I use on my D7000 for video but I really wanted a walk around lens specifically for OS/VR for handheld video. I found this lens to be surprisingly well made for the price. Here is a Youtube 6 minute video I made with this lens: http://youtu.be/KcVhJSvhL6E If you've read the review at DPreview, you know that they think this is a better lens than the Tamron or the 18-300 Nikkor. In the first hours of use I found that the OS is very good on this lens. From 18 to about 100mm you get very steady shots with almost no effort, and with some good technique even 250mm is very good. The close focus (Macro is really 1:1) is also very good on this lens for insects and flowers and close ups of small objects. One of the things I like about the D7000 is its relative small size, and the Sigma is really amazing small for what it does. I have not seen zoom creep and its a little tight at about 135 IF you are not holding the lens horizontal. That is if you are shooting at something in the sky, up a building, or other high subject you feel the slight tightness in the lens but not when you are imaging level or pointed down. The mount fits perfectly on my D7000 and the control buttons on the lens feel substantial. I always use a hood with my lenses, but I also use a UV Filter (saved 4 lenses having filters on them). I opted for the Sigma DG UV, and the combination of the lens, hood, and filter gave no flare with the sun just outside the image (fov). I haven't tried it as a still lens yet, but as a video lens for a DSLR I highly recommend it. I use an external mic, but in my video test on youtube using the camera's own mic on auto gain it was pretty quite. It does focus very fast and accurately. The weight is such that I can carry my D7000 and the lens very comfortably with my Black Rapid Strap for hours (well at least two so far with no pain at all). The only weakness the slow aperture, but OS and the D7000 high ISO capability really make this a non-issue. When I get some time I will compare it for stills against my 12-24, 80-200 f2.8, and 300mm AFS. The few stills I took with this lens looked very good, but I shoot RAW files and have presets in LightRoom for my D7000. Depending on your specific camera and whether you are a JPG or RAW shooter could make a big difference. Over all, this lens would work for me as a travel lens from the few stills I've seen and its very good video performance. I would recommend this lens to a friend if he or she's needs were to have a good to very good, well built lens that covered a wide range of FOV's (Field of Views) for still and video imaging with optical stabilization. ... show more

  • Excellent superzoom for the budget-minded
Style: Black
I owned and used an analog fully manual SLR until 2 years ago (yes, a film camera, no autofocus, no automatic exposure, no electronics save for the embedded photometer). I bought a Nikon D3000 bundle with the 18-55mm kit lens, and have used the kit lens for some time. I wanted a lens with more reach, so I researched both this lens, the Tamron 18-270mm PZD and the new and very expensive (for me, at least) Nikon 18-300mm. This is the cheapest and it has the least reach, but it suited my budget. Besides, I read some reviews that the Tamron tended to be soft at bigger focal distances, where the Sigma was softer at the lower range. I'm not a pro, I just like to take pictures of my kids in events and vacations, so I'm not picky about some tolerable chromatic aberrations or distortions. Since every lens must compromise something in exchange of another, every superzoom trades a wide focal range for a higher level of distortions and aberrations than the narrower lenses. It didn't bother me yet, and I have a great time shooting with it. It's bigger and heavier than the kit lens, but in my opinion it beats carrying two lenses and having to switch, risking missing that crucial moment. The focusing speed is good, not lightning fast as the pro lenses out there, but very well within the acceptable limit. I don't use it for video, so I cannot vouch for its continuous focus capabilities. Of course, the maximum aperture is not as good as the full-frame lenses, but it's good enough. Overall, I recommend this lens to people on a budget who want a wide focal range with a good enough image quality (not aberration and distortion free, though) without having to carry many lenses and taking time to switch. ... show more

  • As an amateur beginning photographer, this lens replaced all my other ones.
Style: Black
First off, photography is just a hobby for me. I love capturing memories but never liked being in photos so being the photographer was the best way to compromise. In no way am I an advanced photographer nor do I know every function of my camera. With that said, I use this with a Nikon D3200 and D3300 and I get great 6000 x 4000 resolution pictures that most people think are professional. Obviously the most important thing about this lens is that it is a macro 18-250mm which effectively made my 18-55mm, 55-200mm stock lenses useless. It works great indoors and outdoors so I don't have to compromise the way I frame a photo or carry extra lenses when I go out. I mostly use my camera now to photograph dogs at play on a beach which ranges from them being really up close to being quite far away so this does the job perfectly. It makes traveling with a camera easy too because I only have to carry one lens that is already attached to the body. I did notice that the lens is quite heavy so the lens tends to zoom on its own if directed downward and not held onto (like when you're walking or standing still not taking photos). The other thing I noticed was that (I don't know the term for it) but the zoom spins the opposite way of all my other lenses. I got used to it quickly but it was annoying zooming in instead of out or vice versa when trying to capture an action shot in the beginning. Overall a great lens for an adventurous person who wants to take pictures of everything on the move without wasting time changing lenses. ... show more

  • It's a compromise, but I think worth it
Style: Black
I purchased this lens to replace my favorite walk-around lens, a Nikon 18-135. I'm using a Nikon D300 that's hitting 5 years old. In terms of Sigma quality in general, I will say that my two most-used lenses are a Sigma 24-70 2.8 and the Nikon 18-135, and both have needed repairs once. I took about 11,000 shots last year (I'm an enthusiast), and each lens is several years old. The worst thing about this lens is the vignetting and pin-cushion distortions. The vignetting seems to be the hardest to fix in Photoshop, and it can be noticed at a variety of focal lengths. Both are probably the worse of any lens I've owned. In terms of sharpness, it's not bad. It doesn't compare when pixel-peeping against my 50mm 1.8 or Sigma 24-70/2.8 or 70-200/2.8, but it can get very respectable with sufficient light. My copy seems to be sharper towards the telephoto end, but it's hard to compare precisely. I took test shots of an ornament filling the frame at various focal lengths while stepping back, and in that test it seems to be sharper at the wide-angle focal lengths. In general, scrutinizing pixels of a telephoto shot will turn up less detail than a portrait just because you're typically much further away. The 6.3 aperture was a bit of a turn off, but it's not so bad. The widest apertures are: 18mm=3.5, 25mm=4, 35mm=4.2, 50mm=4.8, 80mm=5.3, 135=5.6, 250mm=6.3, so it's actually right about in line with my more expensive Nikon 18-135. The Optical Stabilization works well, and is somewhat impressive. I can see it coming in handy with real telephoto shots in average light. I've never had a lens with any sort of stabilization, but I can see this technology coming in quite handy in the right situations. I would have rather gotten better sharpness in a lens with less zoom range, but in comparison this lens seemed to get better reviews than corresponding smaller-range lenses of similar price. I had figured that with an 18-250 lens I might get a good 18-135 lens out of it all, but the longer length seems usable. I have a school auction even coming up, and I typically spend about 5 hours shooting. I will probably pack some better lenses just in case, as it will be my first full-on test of the lens but I hope to use the 18-250 for most of the evening. So the pros are the zoom range, decent sharpness, Optical Stabilization, weight/size, and price. The cons, a little soft and a lot of vignetting and pin-cushion control. You can spend another $1000-$2000 and get a perfect-performing lens, but it won't be as light or have as big a zoom range. I think as a walk-around lens, this certainly earns a place in my kit bag. ... show more

  • Beats the pants off Nikon!
Style: Black
Where to start....It is lightweight and compact. The vibration control (Sigma calls it OS) is superb. The color rendition is awesome. It is one of the sharpest telephotos I have ever owned. Out of the box, I put it on my camera and take some test shots. A+ in all regards. All my shots were handheld, and a good deal of them were at 250mm. At 1:1 they are very sharp. I can only imagine how sharp if I had used a tripod, or even a monopod. Why did I buy this lens? Because a month ago I bought a Nikon 70-300mm and thought to myself...."this lens can't be this bad; it must be my camera." (I had just traded cameras from a D3100 to a D90). But it was that bad. This lens is far superior to the Nikon in every way. I have tried three different Sigma lenses now in the past two months. I am of the opinion that they now make a better lens than Nikon. This is an awesome lens, with a wide range that will accommodate almost every situation. I am so pleased I chose it. ... show more

  • Nice lens...for horizintal shooting.
Style: Black
This lens works just fine on my Nikon D90. Pictures throughtout the zoom and macro range were clear. It focused quickly and quietly. However it suffers one flaw, and that is lens creep. When the lens is pointed down and not in the locked position, it extends by itself, Even when horizontal when the focus motor starts the zoom sometimes shifted. I really wanted this lens to perform as well as other Sigmas I have purchased, but this one falls short, not because of optics, but of the lens creep. The price is very good and I would recommend to anybody who didn't mind holding the lens barrel while shooting. I would hope Sigma fixes this problem, the lens is otherwise excellent. ... show more

  • A Great Lens
Style: Black
I was a bit anxious about this lens after reading some of the less than stellar reviews, but for the sale price and its features gave it a try, knowing that if it wasn't as good as other's said it was, with Amazon's EXCELLENT return policy there was very little risk. Boy, am I glad I did. I've got a Nikon D5100 body, a Nikon 300mm telephoto, and a Tamron 10-24mm wide angle lens. They are wonderful lenses, but I never seemed to have the right lens on for what I needed, and was constantly having to stop and switch. I was looking for a good "walking around" lens and I've found it. Not only do I not need to carry all the heavy equipment and the backpack to protect it, but no more missed shots. I like to hike and the smaller weight and less hassle is important. This isn't intended to be a detail technical review, but rather my impressions after using the lens in various situations. I've had the lens for 1 month, and have taken a couple of thousand shots by now. It gets the job done. I'm not a professional photographer but have been seriously involved for over 50 years. I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of not only the manufacturing, but the digital images themselves. (You can see samples at [...] ). I would not hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone. ... show more

  • Great Lens within its capabilities
Style: Black
This is a great lens as long as one uses it within its capabilities. It is not a low light lens, nor is it a fast action lens. Essentially, it is an outdoor, static, or slow movement lens. It will capture very well flowers, children engaged in a concentrated activity, landscapes, and some street photography. This is a highly rated lens. Dpreview ranks this lens as one of the best in its category. The build is good and solid, but do not use it to pound nails. The focus is very good and the end result is very pleasing. If you are looking for an all around lens for travel, outdoor activities, some people pictures, and landscapes, consider this lens. Within itself, it is a real winner! ... show more
