Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Macro Lens user reviews

    "This is my first non canon lens and im complety surprised... The lens is really sharp from begining to end, its really well built (its a diamond compared to the 18-55 kit lens of any canon), i think is even better builded that my 28-135 IS. Im loving this lens, the only drawback is the macro, dont buy this lens for macro work, the macro function is just a \"bonus\" that can save you in particular situations... this lens has become the lens that stays in the camera 90% of the time. "
    "We bought this lens for a wedding occasion and it performed great! The lens is very fast and very sharp. It is a little heavy and unbalances the k100D a little. I guess it would be a better fit for the k10 or k20. We love it and are amazed at the photographic opportunities that a faster lens provides. Spend the money... avoid the pentax version because it is not better optically according to many reviews. "

    "I bought the Pentax Mount for my Pentax K10D for indoor use, it is bright, sharp and quick focus, nicely built, it feels solid in your hand, not so heavy, it produce nice bokeh shots. BTW, the Macro is a bonus for this lens. Sigma\'s technology improves a lot into this F/2.8 Macro lens, for the build quality & Price. I would vote for this lens as \"The lens of year 2007\". Highly recommended. "

    "I have used Sigma lens for many years on different camera. I never owned one of their best until now. This is an excellent lens. I would reccommend it to any one. Very sharp & plenty of contrast. I am 100 percent happy with this lens & the excellent service I received from Amazon. They delivered right on time as promised."

    "I have been very pleased with this lens. I am using it for a combonation of things. I purchased it primarily for my D80, that my wife uses, for wedding photography. This lens is also great for close up/Macro photography of flowers,etc. I replace a lens, much like this one. The other lens was also a Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4, and was very pleased with it also. Sigma makes wonderful equipment. "
