Sigma 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 DL Aspherical Hyperzoom Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF-D - (35mm Zoom)

Consumer review (shopping.com)

Extended Range Zoom is Slow Off The Blocks

 

The Sigma 28mm-300mm zoom lens was originally sold for the Konica-Minolta Maxxum series Digital SLRs. When Sony took over this product line in 2006, they kept the same lens interface as the original Minolta Maxxum cameras for the new Sony 100alpha...

Extremely compact for storage, inexpensive, very sharp images

Large torque required to operate zoom, slow focus response

Superseded by macro version

 

This product, the Sigma 28-300 "compact hyperzoom" has been recently discontinued by Sigma, and is superseded by their "macro" version, which is optically quite different. Because many stores (e.g. B&H) still carry both items, which are very similarly...

Superseded by macro version of lens, which is smaller, lighter, sharper, and closer

Versatile "swiss-army" lens. Sharper than its Tamron counterpart

 

This lens is Sigma's "macro" version, a newer and improved version of their older "compact hyperzoom" 28-300 lens. This lens has half the minimum focus distance, and twice as many low dispersion (2 vs. 1) and aspherical (4 vs. 2) elements than the...

Surprisingly good optics, considering low price and high versatility. Small. Metal mount

Like most consumer zooms, sharpness declines above 200mm. Autofocus sometimes

I've only had this lens for 8 hours.

 

I bought this lens because I just got the Canon 10D and I thought I would only have to buy this one lens. I am writing this while I'm shopping for a new lens. If the $209.00 I spent for this stretched my budget I would be delighted. It is in every way...

The Price The Zoom

Stiff spots when zooming Sloppy manual focus

Sigma misses the mark

 

I purchased the sigma 28-300MM lens about one month ago thinking that it would be a good all around lens. Well I was wrong. It was performed well under what I would expect from a sigma product.

Best lens I've owned

 

I bought this lens in conjunction with buying a new camera. I needed to replace an older Minolta camera/lens with something new. I got a Canon Elan 7E and this lens.

Lightweight, compact, inexpensive

I wasted my money.

 

I bought the Sigma Designs IF 28 300mm F3 5 6 3 DL Aspherical Hyperzoom four months ago, and have since shot around 50 rolls of film through this lens. I bought it because I travel frequently, and often need to go back and forth between wide angles and...

Lightweight, inexpensive

Vignetting, optical quality, build quality
