Sigma 18-125 mm f/3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM

Sigma AF 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC HSM OS (Canon) - Review / Test Report

 

The Sigma AF 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC HSM OS is an interesting lens with a couple of high and lows which is quite typical for such extreme zoom range lenses. The resolution characteristic is generally decent - only the soft borders at 125mm may be really...

Sigma 18-125 mm f/3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM

 

(Using Sony A550)A great replacement of the standard kit-lens. Not too large a zoom, so image quality is better maintained throughout its reach. I'm currently using it paired with a Sigma 70-300, which is a great combination for starters.

Zoom range a lot more useful than 18-55 kit-lens and far better quality.- Great build quality- Silent and fast focusing

Maybe slightly soft on the extreme focal lengths.Apparently there is a large deviation between specimens, but I ordered it online, so I couldn't test it
