Review: Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 AF DC II Lens
I’ve been wanting a longer lens for my Nikon D50 for some time. I’ve owned this camera for over three years now, and have been making do with my Sigma 28-70mm zoom for most of that time.
My previous “good” camera was the Minolta X370s 35mm SLR. Over the six or so years that it was my main camera, I acquired a 28mm wide-angle lens, 50mm standard lens, 80-200mm zoom, 2x teleconverter, and three macro filters. I’ve been jonesing to be able to get in close to the action like I once could.
So, I went online, seeking out the zoomiest zoom for the most reasonable price, and I found the Sigma 18-200mm. First, I found one with Optical Stabilization, but when I saw how much that added to the price, I opted against it and ordered one without.
It really is true, what they say: you get what you pay for.
