p.2 #2First Date w/ Sigma 18-200mm w/ Samples
Jim/Buze,
Thanks for the extra photos.. both of them show one of the things I liked about the lens - good color balance and saturation for this type of lens. When I tried the Tamron the shots seemed flatter/muddie.
BTW- Buze, can't be the UK so where is the sailing shot from?

Juan les Pins, french riviera. I was on another boat; great thing to have a nice compact lens to put on in close quarters
Oh and I had a polarizer filter on for that shot..

Do you have problems with the polarizer at the wide end? I haven't gotten once out of fear that the sky will look strange with the polarizer (very uneven polarization effect).

If I get some decent weather tomorrow I might snap a few more off and post some more crops.
Good luck on find a used one of these - it hasn't been around for long and it's pretty good for folks looking to pack light.

i got this lens today. so far so good. i think its going to be the perfect walk around lens.
i know there is a lot of talk with the 24-105 but i think that only works well with the FF cameras coming out.
plus this thing goes all the way out to 200mm!
ill post some shots later, but the shots look pretty sharp.
focusing is really loud but i dont mind. its a walk around lens.

Well, probably not really 200mm, but more than 160mm :-)
Post some shots when you take the lens out, I'd be interested to see what other folks are getting from the lens as well

I love my Sigma 18-200. The only problem I have with this lens is the cap. My cap keeps falling off while it is in my backpack....

I have the 18-125 and think it's quite good. As someone stated earlier, a little soft wide open, but you can't beat the versatility if you just want to carry one lens.
I also own a couple of 'L' lenses and primes, but I like to keep the Sigma around for those days at the park with the kids and the wife (when the wife wants you to "stop lugging all that camera gear around!")

There is nothing wrong with carrying a camera with the 50mm.

I don't know an "80mm" lens on my 20D is pretty limiting. If I was going to do this I would probably carry around a 28 or 35mm.

I'm looking into the Canon 28-105 and I would put it on my K2, I'm a simple amateur so I was thinking it would be a good choice for me?
Your comments about that lens are welcome.

Hmm...
I think the K2 is a film camera, if so the 28-105 is a great lens. However, on my digital Canon with 1.6X factor it is not really wide enough as a single lens solution.
Good luck.

I just used this lens, 99% of the time, while on vacation in Key West. I was very happy with the results.
