Sigma 18-125mm F3.5-5.6 DC

4882618_125dc_1_
Review Date: Nov 10, 2005 Recommend? no | Price paid: $269.00 | Rating: 1 

 
Pros: wide range build not bad
Cons:
horribly inaccurate focus loud much better lenses available for the $$

I got this lens instead of the kit(after reading lots of posts).Many described intermittent focus issues.They were right.Above 70mm this lens hunted and hunted and hunted some more.At least 25% of the shots showed visible focus problems.I've used slrs for 30+ years,so it's not operator error.I compared it to my neighbors kit lens and the kit was sharper and focused well.Then I compared it to Canon's 28-105f3.5.HUGE difference!And the canon cost less.So I now have the Canon kit and 28-105 to replace the sigma.It's nice to get properly focused images.The Sigma has an inexcusable flaw with this focus issue.

Review Date: Nov 10, 2005 Recommend? no | Price paid: $220.00 | Rating: 1 

 
Pros: Huge range and decent build...low price
Cons:
terrible optical quality poor focusing

I'd only recommend this lens to a user who could afford nothing better,and "must" carry only one lens.It's the worst slr lens I have ever owned.
