!$ Sigma 18 200mm f 3.5 6.3 AF DC II Lens for all Nikon DSLR Cameras

I had this lens for one week, and it is perfect for travel,

and when you don t know what where you are going to take pictures,



the built quality is excellent (as sigma does usual)

and it is very compact and light for a large range lens.



just not very sharp pictures at 18mm,

but with this kind of lens it is well known

and it is still better than the kit-lenses 18-55mm that I have.



if you see the concurrence : bigger, more bulky,

sometime the telephoto-lens increase by itself if you chose the wrong position...

and it can resist if you want to change focal between 18 and 200mmm,

with this one: you have NOT these problems !!!

of course there you can find more rage (18-270 for example),

but for me 18-200 is enough and also it is more compact,

there is no stabilization and ultra-sonic focus but,

first, the stab is not needed if you have a Pentax SLR,

and second, the ultrasonic-focus is more expensive

and not always needed and increase the size of the lens.



for me this lens is excellent with my Pentax K10D and my Pentax k-x

.... and by the way, this lens is not expensive at all.
