Great lens with ... surprise!

Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS (HSM) stabilized lens (72mm filter thread) for Canon (Electronics)

Customer Review

I bought the lens for a Canon 600D. I can only say: Respect, Sigma! For the relatively low price you get a very decent I-want-me-not-with-fixed focal length lens tow. Hapitk and processing are great. The image quality is, despite reductions in vignetting and sharpness in the peripheral areas, very good. So why have predicted repeat? For two reasons:

1) The criminally neglected video function of Canon 600D. With the Sigma filming is namely to a real pleasure. Great flexibility from wide to tele and even in low light still quite low-noise videos (voausgesetzt seen ISO1600 as the upper limit). Well, that is nothing 600d between the quick shot, but no one punishes later the audience nastier video aesthetics.

2) In the item description is missing an important "small" detail: It acts with the objective seems already to the new series. This is significant, because the fast and quiet Hyper Sonic Motor was (HSM) now also granted the Canon Bajontetten (according to statements by Sigma during a call). Since I did not know that when you buy, this important fact is not included in the evaluation; However, the decision between a Tamron lens and the Sigma 18-200mm should be hereby like ... not to mention the mediocre Canon.

UPDATE: For some time the lens is now "officially" sold with HSM. Now, although it is no longer a surprise, but still fine :-)
