Decent, but not great
Been using this lens for about a week now. Overall performance is Ok. The photos come out fairly sharp. However, when I switch over to my canon 50mm 1.

Just the lens I needed
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. The pictures are great.

A great lens for the price
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!

Good lens! Glad I bought it!
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. My copy was tack sharp. Highly recommended!

Great low light lens for my Pentax K20D
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.

Great Lens……Great Price!
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.

Mine had no problems whatsoever. AF is on point and very sharp. Great lens for the money, nice hood and case to boot.

Great for low-light situations
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.

Excellent Image Quality, Low Cost, Great Build!
This is evidently Sigma’s third release of this lens, and it now includes HSM (HyperSonic Motor) so that it will work on cameras like the Nikon D40 and D60 and others with no…
