The effective arrangement of Special Low Dispersion SLD and aspherical glass elements has created a lens of compact dimensions. With an overall length of 84.7mm 3.3in. it is the smallest lens of this focal range. This lens offers a large aperture of F 2.8 over its entire range of focal lengths which is ideal for low light situations both indoors and out. It has a large depth of field that offers the photographer greater freedom of expression.By using a new technology and optical design this lens satisfies the needs of digital photography. Two Special Low Dispersion SLD glass elements are provided for effective compensation of color aberration which is a common problem with wide-angle lenses. Four aspherical lenses one molded glass type and three hybrid aspherical types offer excellent correction for distortion as well as all types of aberration. The design concept of this lens is especially suitable for the characteristics of Digital SLR Cameras. New coating reduces flare and ghost which is a common problem of digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance. This lens has excellent correction for "light-fall-off" which is a common problem of large aperture lenses.The design ensures sufficient illumination of the corners of the image.It is capable of taking pictures with a minimum focusing distance of 38cm 15.0in at all focal lengths. It is very effective for close-up photography. The high performance inner focus system is particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and a petal-type hood as the front of the lens does not rotate.This lens is also equipped with a zoom lock that eliminates "Zoom Creep". This remarkably compact high performance zoom lens is ideally suited for traveling.
Customer Reviews
Excellent lens for price but may need servicing.
I bought my lens from Cameta Camera and it would seem that a great number of lens people are receiving from Cameta have been having front and/or back focus issues. I used my lens for awhile in spite of its focus issues and found it to perform quite well especially for the nice $200ish price. Its not on par with Canon L lens by any stretch of the imagination but I think this is great throw-in lens. Its very sturdily constructed and I actually prefer its lens hood to the ones Canon makes. I finally sent my lens in to Sigma a few weeks ago for servicing and its been there since so I will update this review once I receive it back. Anyone who is looking to buy this lens or has bought it - I would highly suggest running some focus tests on the lens to see if your lens needs servicing . . .
Great lens for the money
I had this lens for a few months before I acquired a Canon 24-70 f/2.8L. Let me say that this lens is much better than the Sigma 24-70 in both size weight and image quality. It offers a constant f/2.8 aperture and focuses relatively fast for a non-HSM lens. I was more than happy with the quality of the images that this lens produces. I believe the only flaw with this lens is the fact that Sigma didnt make it a HSM version. This is a tough competitor for Canons 24-70 but its still in second place to the Canon. You cant beat the price for the lens either. Given the build quality image quality and overall functionality of this lens the price is a steal I would definitely recommend this to anyone who asks for a budget lens like this.
Very nice lens.
I bought this via the below link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VJVHMA This is a great lens. If you research this lens you will find that it is a "best bang for your buck" type lens. If your comparing this to an L lens you will be surprised. On a crop body its a bit long but rarely have I had to back up too far to get the shot. I was out shooting some pictures of my kids playing 8pm the other evening August in Texas. I was quite happy with the pictures I shot with this lens. Even without a flash it was not quite dark yet and the street lamps gave off enough light. I do not consider myself a pro or even an amateur. If your looking for a good walk around lens for a full or crop body consider this lens. Its worth it money and quality wise. Pros: Price Usable on a crop body and full body so you can keep the lens if you move from crop to full. My copy is sharp as a tack. No back or forward focus. Cons: Some have reported that their copy was back or forward focusing. Or the zoom ring was "tight". The good news is if you buy it from an authorized dealer for Sigma Cameta Camera in the link above is Authorized you get the full Warranty. Send it in and they will fix it for you. It just costs shipping. Conclusion: Its a great lens. I am loving the shots I am getting from it. All photographers are different some do sports some do landscapes. Some just want good HQ pics of the kids. I am all 3. This lens replaced my kit lens Canon 18-55 NON IS. I do not miss the wide and am loving the extra zoom. YMMV.
