Pros - I had few lenses before, this is the first one I'm really happy with, it is sharp at any ange, I have a fixed 50mm lens, which is extremely sharp and bright, and 24mm lens fixed, this lens get the same results as the fixed lenses, When it gets really all the way to 18, it's slightly changes, otherwise, this is a perfect lens! Cons - like lenses of this kind, a little bit heavy from Amazon.com Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC SLD ELD Aspherical Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras from Amazon.com Been using this lens for about a week now. Overall performance is Ok. from Amazon.com This is a solid well made lens, f2.8, 7inch close focus approximate 1:3. I would like the lens shade to fit a little tighter. from Amazon.com This lens is sharp and accurate. Its functions VERY well in low light and in up close, macro shots. from Amazon.com It is a really nice lens for those who can't or don't want to drop $1k+ on the comparable Nikon 2.8 lens. It has nice bokeh. from Amazon.com In 2007 I bought a Pentax K10D with the standard factory 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. In 2008 I upgraded to the Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction (Body Only) and chose to buy this lens separately. from Amazon.com After doing a few hours of research on these lenses I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go with the Canon 17-55 but couldn't justify spending $1000 on it at this time. So I concentrated on the Tamron and the Sigma both were in a better price range for my budget. from Amazon.com Well, I was excited about the review comparrisons between this, the Canon EF-S 17-85mm, and the Tameron equivalent. It was supposed to be very high sharpness, and nice bokeh compared to canon and just better all around than Tameron. from Amazon.com I got this lens as a replacement for my kit lens on my D40 - what a difference it's made. Take a look at some of my pictures taken with this combination. from Amazon.com
