I am using this lens on a Pentax K7 and happy overall with the build quality and picture quality. I am not a pro but I do take a few pictures. This was to fill my gap on the low side for wider lanscapes and also keep some portrait macro capability. I figured the F2.8 would help in low light but found that a lot of my pictures that were both LL and infinite focus came out pretty blurry, probably because the 2.8 has such a narrow FOV that it would be better to stop up a bit and get better focus. from Amazon.com I bought this lens last week and I received today. Generally, Sigma lens has good optical function and good price. But If you get good condition brand new sigma lens, that will be great. from Amazon.com It dwarfs my Nikon D60. It fits the curve of my hand naturally, and its weight makes the camera balance very well. The build quality is awesome, even for a lens twice its price. The zoom ring moves smoothly and with just the right amount of resistance. from Amazon.com I am only casual photographer / at best a Prosumer, but I read alot of reviews and forums(flickr). I weighed the benifits/flaws and picked this lens. from Amazon.com Like many who have posted here, I chose the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM as an affordable alternative to the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX. I wanted a decent low light lens for my Nikon D90, with more flexibility than my Nikon 50mm f/1.8D prime lens, and more sharpness and less bulk than my Nikon 18-200mm VR. from Amazon.com 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. Its awesome to have a minimum focusing distance of 8 inches! from Amazon.com
