Digital camera reviews of Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC IF Aspherical Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Excellent Lens!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have a Nikon D50 with the 18-55mm lens. I wanted a lens that would handle most of my requirements without carrying multiple lenses. I considered the Nikon 18-70mm but wanted just a bit more on the telephoto end. The Sigma 18 to 125mm f3.5-5.6 looked like it would do the job nicely. Being a retired news and commercial photographer, I was concerned about the quality of the non-Nikon lens but after reading a number of reviews, decided to give the Sigma a try.

I'm delighted I did! I really like this lens! Colors are crisp and true. The lens feels solid and works very smoothly and, most important, it is needle sharp! There is a small sound when focusing but it's not objectionalble. Focus is quick and accurate even in low light conditions. Unlike the low priced Nikons, the Sigma has a metal mounting flange.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy this lens again. It does more than I expected for a very reasonable price!

Summary of Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC IF Aspherical Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

This Sigma AF 18-125mm F3.5-5.6 EX DC zoom lens was exclusively designed for use with digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras and has 6.9 times high magnification zoom ratio. Image circle is designed to match the size of the image sensor of digital SLR cameras. A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) and two pieces of aspherical glass elements produce high levels of optical performance through the entire zoom range. This has resulted in a compact, lightweight lens. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm (19.6in.) at all focal lengths and is equipped with an inner focusing system. Since the front of the lens does not rotate, a Petal Shaped Hood and a circular polarizing filter can be easily attached and used. This lens is also equipped with Zoom Lock Switch that eliminates Zoom Creep.
