## Description

Product Description               18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM                  From the Manufacturer               High Performance, Compact, High Zoom Ratio Lens designed exclusively for digital SLR camerasBy revolutionizing the optical and structural design of the Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM, this new lens achieves a compact size and a minimum focusing distance of 13.8". New material, Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) maintains its structure and has little contractility especially in varying temperatures, is incorporated into the lens barrel. It is convenient when you wish to keep your equipment to a minimum and yet still be prepared for all opportunities and situations, such as travels.A wide range of photography is possible in one lensCovering wide angle 18mm to telephoto 250mm, this versatile lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras, is suitable for all-purpose photography including landscape, sport, and macro photography. It is convenient when you wish to keep your equipment to a minimum and yet still be prepared for all opportunities and situations, such as travels.Excellent for macro photographyClose-up capability is improved with the minimum focusing distance of 13.8" throughout the entire zoom range, and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9. In APS-C size equivalent, macro photography with approximately 1:2 magnification ratio is possible. In addition, with this lens, the size and flaming of subjects can be adjusted by rotating a zoom ring, making macro photography easier than using fixed focal macro lens. For further convenience, the maximum magnification ratio at each focusing distance appears on the side of the lens barrel. New design. Compact size. Revolutionizing the design foundation results in compact sizeOptimization of the power arrangement by such things as incorporating double-sided aspherical lenses, and reexamination of design, the filter diameter size is reduced. This compact size lens has the approximately 13x high zoom ratio with the filter size of diameter 62mm, and dimensions of diameter 2.9" x Length 3.5". It ensures portability and overall ease of use, making it perfect for travel and leisure photography.New material TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) Thermally Stable Composite The new material "TSC (Thermally Stable Composite)", which has little contractility especially in temperature changes, as well as maintaining firmness, is incorporated into the lens barrel. Compared to Polycarbonate which is generally used, TSC has higher elasticity by approximately 25%. Since thermal shrinkage is low, it has high affinity to metal parts which contributes to high quality product manufacturing. It also contributes to the parts such as the zoom ring and scaling to be slimmerLens ConstructionIn a conventional lens, focusing requires an extension of the entire lens or the front lens group. However, to better accommodate autofocusing mechanisms and closeup photography, a need has arisen for lenses that do not change their length during focusing or suffer from focus-dependent variation in aberration. Therefore, Sigma has developed focusing systems that only move elements within the lens barrel. These incorporate smaller and lighter moving lens elements which help improve auto-focus speed. With their unchanging barrel length and small variation in the center of gravity, these lenses also enhance balance and stability for the photographer. Furthermore, since the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters can be used with extra convenience.MTF ChartView Larger ImageMTF (Modular Transfer Function) is one of the measurements that evaluates a lens' performance, and it contrasts sensitivity at different spacial frequencies. The horizontal axis is in millimeters and shows the distance from the center of the image toward the edges, and contrast value (highest value is 1) is shown in the vertical axis.The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens' contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens' sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open. Fine repeating line sets are created parallel to a diagonal line running from corner to corner of the frame, are called Sagittal lines (S) and sets of repeating lines vertical to these lines are drawn, called Meridional (M) line sets.DistortionView Larger Imageeffective distortion: When you take a picture of a lattice pattern, it will appear as the blue dotted line shows. the red line illustrates how the lattice pattern will appear in the actual picture when any lens distortion is taken into account.relative distortion: In this chart, the horizontal axis shows the ideal image height (the distance from the center to the edge of the image [mm]). The vertical axis shows the extent of distortion. The extent of the distortion is represented by how much Y, which is the actual image height, grows (or shrinks) against Y0 which is the ideal image height.Extent of distortion: D[%]=(Y-Y0/Y0)x100When you take the picture of a square object, if the distortion amount show a minus value, the image will be seen as expanded (Barrel distortion). If the distortion amount is a plus value, it will be seen as a recessed (pincushi on distortion). When the distortion value is close to 0, the appearance of distortion is very minimal.VignettingView Larger ImageThe horizontal axis shows the image height (the distance from the center to the edge of the image [mm]). The vertical axis shows the amount of light in the image (based on the amount of light in the image center being 100%). If the peripheral amount of light is lower than the center, the four corners of the image will be darker (vignetting).Specifications Lens Construction 16 Elements in 13 Groups Angle of View (for SD1) 76.5 - 6.5 degrees Number of Diaphragm Blades 7 Blades (Rounded diaphragm) Minimum Aperture F22 Minimum Focusing Distance 35cm / 13.8in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A terrific Lens bargain for my Pentax K-5 ii
*by V***N on September 5, 2015*

A terrific Lens bargain for my Pentax K-5 ii. Simply, a travel lens that gets the details, and more just right.A little background 1st. I am by no stretch of the imagination, a pro photographer. Not even close. I am just a hobbyist that loves the fun of taking images to share with others, and to view later myself.The Pentax K-5 ii has soldiered on with a cross country travels, and more, but always needed a great lens that I could leave on the camera. I always envisioned this with my Nikon D90, D200, it just never happened. Now with the Pentax the Sigma 18-250mm DC Macro HSM, and Amazon's Warehouse deal made it a reality.Anticipation.I was eagerly awaiting the lens, wondering what condition it would be in based on the description in the Amazon Warehouse Deal. I needn't have worried. It arrived in perfect condition. Typical packing from Amazon.Installation was a snap, all automation functions are perfect.In use.In use I couldn't be happier, though had to get used to the zoom control, backwards to what Pentax does with their lenses, no big deal. Focus, and Zoom Ring are smooth in operation, and yes NO Zoom creep at all. AF and MF, and Lock switches on lens barrel easy to use, and positive. I have to say as I used this lens, I really am glad I got it. Using a friend's Nikon d50 with her 18-200mm convinced me of the Convenience. It just can't be beat. Yes I get all the caveats of an all in one solution. I am okay with that. I will still buy a 50mm prime etc. some time in the future, but this lens just complements my K-5 ii no end. Getting up close, and personal was never so easy.Enjoying the 21st Commemorative National Corvette Museum celebration of which there were plenty of folks there, I was able to get the shot I wanted without getting in anyone's way. Using the Zoom to get that just right shot. In combination of my Pentax using no flash shots by the way, I was very happy with the output I got with this lens. Far exceeded my expectations. Color, and detail are just fine for me.Seeing it all including the Sink Hole Corvettes in their mangled glory. I was able with this lens to get it all. The Competition engines, have all the detail I could want.My other passion is aircraft, and with a 400mm zoom per the rule of 1.5 crop, I think this lens will be great for my air shows, and airplane watching I do. Auto Racing will a natural for this lens too I think.Carrying around this lens was nice as the composite barrels keep the weight down. I wanted initially to get the Pentax Zoom, I am glad I got this instead, and saved lots of money. Like i said, I am not a pro, but I love capturing the memories of my travels, and this very lens is making that so easy. Easy to see why DPreview.com says this is best the Travel Lens to pick. http://www.dpreview.com/products/sigma/lenses/sigma_18-250_3p5-6p3_os to read all about from them.I would recommend this lens to anyone looking at a bargain one zoom travel lens, but if you are doing critical photography, your primes are the way to go. But as in all in one solution. This Sigma is very good indeed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice lens. New leader in the "walkaround" category
*by G***N on August 8, 2012*

I am very very pleased with this newest superzoom from Sigma, paired with my Canon 60D. Build quality is excellent. Image quality is sharp at both ends of the range. Focus is quick and quiet. OS works extremely well. It is light weight and compact compared to others in this category, which adds to its value as a "walkaround" lens. To top it all off, the price is outstanding for a lens with this feature set, build, and image quality. (It's ~$100 cheaper than the "comparable" Tamron, and ~$30 less than the shorter focal length Canon 18-200.)I had used the Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras for a while last year, when it was the "hot" 3rd party superzoom. But, the images looked a little soft to me, especially at the long end. Plus, I didn't care for the build quality and feel of the zoom/focus rings at all. (The Tamron is made in China, while this Sigma is made in Japan.) And, IIRC, the Tamron zoom ring operated in the opposite direction from Canon and Sigma, which wreaks havoc with one's muscle memory. The Tamron also suffered from lens creep, which the Sigma, so far, has not.I have been using the Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras with my 60D until switching to this Sigma, and the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras with my T2i before that. This Sigma lens focuses quicker, is much easier to hold and carry, and results in the same quality shots. It is much smaller and lighter than the canon 18-200. Yet, looks and feels as well made or arguably better than the Canon lenses. The AF/MF, OS, and lock buttons are positioned better than the Canon's. The Canon 18-200 also suffers from lens creep, which the Sigma, so far, does not. The image quality is about the same, although the Sigma does show a little less CA, which is a plus.There is an older version of this lens with an almost identical title, just not "Macro" Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM IF Lens for Canon AF Digital SLR Cameras. But, it is larger, heavier, and slower to focus. However, if money is an issue, it's ~$120 cheaper than this one. So, it might be a viable option for you. But, not having used it, I cannot speak to its image quality, build, or operation. It does get mostly positive reviews, though.I can, however, highly recommend *this* Sigma for your Canon EOS system body. Of course, it will not result in images as sharp as most prime lenses or almost any L series lens. But, I find it the best of the current crop of "walkaround" lenses available for the Canon APS-C sensor models. (It is not recommended for full-frame models.) I can almost guarantee it will rarely see any time not attached to yours, if you are like me and want a single lens for most of your everyday shots. Sure, there are plenty of situations that require that prime portrait or macro lens, or that long telephoto zoom. But, when you're at the dog park, or the kids' birthday party, or the family reunion, or tourist destination, etc, this is the lens.
