Sigma AF 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC (Pentax K) - Review / Lab Test Report

 

The Sigma AF 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC is naturally a bit of compromise solution but the overall package is actually quite sound especially when taking the low price tag into account. The lens is pretty sharp when stopped down a little and CAs are...

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC

 

This lens from Sigma has been created specifically for cropped sensor digital single lens reflex cameras (dSLR's) with sensors in the region of APS-C size. It is given the DC nomenclature for this reason. Newly designed by Sigma as a wide angle to...

Compact size and weight; Good build quality; Out-performs most ‘kit’ lenses especially at the wide end.; Good range of mounts available

Drop in performance at longer focal lengths

As a walk-around lens, this design from the Sigma stable scores well over the normal offering of ‘kit’ lenses, giving extended focal length at the long end and improved performance at the wide end. The reduced need for lens changes on the digital SLR’s...

Ho una NIKON D40x ed uso quest'obiettivo in sostituzione del 18-55 del kit.

Ottimo range di focali, nitido e leggero. Ottima costruzione

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC review by fotolida

 

For its price, and for its wide zoom range (roughly 27-190mm equivalent), it delivers more than decent image quality, very good considering the inevitable comprises.

Very useful zoom range, reasonable image quality, correct build quality, price

some distorsions wide, some soft tele

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC review by saveden

 

E' una lente che va confrontata e quindi valutata in rapporto lenti appartenenti alla sua stessa categoria.

Buona nitidezza, aberrazioni contenute, leggerezza

AF un pò lento e rumoroso

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC review by Chris Joerg

 

The sigma 18-125 won't do the job if you are looking for THE image of your life. If you take a look at the zoom-range and the price this has to be like this. It has a quite loud, even screeching autofocus which is often inaccurate, especially in low...

Image quality - if you mind price, size and weight

Autofocus is loud, slow and due to f 5,6 at the long end inaccurate in low light situations

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC review by rainerknappe

 

That´s not a bad lens at all on my Pentax. Surprisingly sharp (at least my example) but distortions and light fall off is quiet strong, but it´s a wonderfull practic lens (18-125) - offering very good colours on my Pentax D-SLR! The buildings are quiet...

sharp and practic

light fall off and wavy (funny) distortions
