Great Lens for the price
I bought this lens to replace a Nikon 18 - 200 lens. The Sigma lens is lighter, smaller and has a locking tab. It seems to be a good quality item that stacks up well against the Nikon lens. Was especially pleased with the fast shipping; ordered on Wednesday and received on Friday. I will use this lens on my Nikon 7200 and from the first few photos I am pleased with the results.

zoom tuttofare per i viaggi
Veramente contentissimo. Ho passato molto tempo per decidermi ed alla fine lo ho acquistato. Ho sfogliato, si fa per dire, tutti i siti ed i forum che ne parlavano e che lo paragonavano ad altri. Alla fine era rimasto l' ultimo della Tamron 16 300 e questo. La scelta è stata anche per il costo doppio del Tamron. Chiaramente non è il top di gamma, ma fa le sue belle foto e si possono anche ritagliare con i software specifici ancora con una buona resa. Io ho la nikon D3200 con il sensore da 24 Mpixel e sono un accoppiata formidabile. La messa a fuoco è velocissima e il macro è fortissimo. Per poter utilizzare la messa a foco manuale bisogna disabilitare l' automatico perchè non si muove e si rischia di danneggiare il motorino. Se sentite qualcosa che si muove all' interno e diminuisce con la macchina fotografica ON, è lo stabilizzatore. Se avete dei dubbi fate un po di foto per verificare che il tutto funzioni normalmente come messa a fuoco e stabilizzatore su soggetti molto contrastati e su ,magari, pareti in mattoni. La ghiera dello zoom è un po duretta , ma se usata orizzontalmente non da problemi, penso che con il suo uso si adatterà.Non sono un professionista, ma quanti lo sono ? Alla fine , ribadisco, rifarei la spesa. Nelle mie gite e viaggi è veramente un piccolo , leggero, potente amico di viaggio.

Ein sehr gutes Super-Zoom-Objektiv für Kompromissbereite mit entsprechender Erwartungshaltung
Um es vorweg zu nehmen... Man sollte dieses Objektiv als das sehen was es ist: ein Super-Zoom. Beim Vergleich mit einem guten Standard-Zoom oder gar einer Festbrennweite wird es naturgemäß immer schlechter abschneiden! Für meinen nächsten Urlaub war ich auf der Suche nach einem guten und relativ preiswerten Reiseobjektiv. Die vielen positiven Bewertungen haben letztendlich dazu geführt, dass ich mich für das Sigma 18-250mm entschieden habe. Etwas skeptisch war ich noch, da ich in einem Testbericht gelesen habe, dass es gerade an der Nikon arge Verzeichnungen aufweisen soll. Nach den ersten Testfotos kann ich nur sagen, ich bin echt begeistert und habe den Kauf nicht bereut. Ab f8 hat es über den gesamten Brennweitenbereich eine gute, knackige Schärfe (z.B. bei f5 und 50mm finde ich es etwas schwammig). An der Nikon D90, die ein sehr gutes Rauschverhalten hat, habe ich mit der geringeren Lichtstärke auch bei schlechteren Lichtverhältnissen (trübes Wetter) keine Probleme, da ich auf höhere ISO-Werte ausweichen kann. Ausserdem gibt es ja auch noch den Bildstabilisator. Diesen merkt man kaum, doch er leistet gute Arbeit. Eine 1/200s bei 250mm schafft er ohne Probleme. Besonders im WW-Bereich sind Randunschärfen, Verzeichnungen und auch eine Vignettierung vorhanden, doch alles in einem für mich durchaus akzeptablen Rahmen, ähnlich wie beim alten Nikon-Kit-Objektiv 18-70mm. Wer Lightroom benutzt, dem kann die "Objektivkorrektur" hierbei sehr gute Dienste leisten. Die Farbwidergabe finde ich in Ordnung, wobei ich dazu sagen muss, dass ich in RAW fotografiere. Den Weißabgleich habe ich meistens auf Automatik stehen und passe dann bei der Entwicklung an. Wenn man JPEG fotografiert hängt das ja auch immer etwas vom Kameramodell bzw. von den JPEG-Einstellungen ab. Richtig gut finde ich die Naheinstellgrenze von 35cm über den gesamten Brennweitenbereich. Damit sind bei voller Brennweite tolle Nahaufnahmen möglich. Das hat so manches Telezoom nicht zu bieten! Die Verarbeitung finde ich insgesamt hochwertig. Der einzige kleine Makel ist, dass sich der Zoom ab 50mm selbstständig macht wenn mann das Objektiv nach unten hält um z. B. auf den Monitor zu schauen. Wenn man also die Aufnahme wiederholen möchte, gilt es die Brennweite wieder neu einzustellen. Dabei hilft auch der vorhandene Lock-Schalter nicht, denn der funktioniert nur bei eingefahrenem Objektiv, also bei 18mm. Wenn das ginge, würde ich dafür einen halben Punkt abziehen. Fazit: Es ist kein Objektiv für Qualitäts-Perfektionisten und es wird auch nicht meine Sammlung an diversen Linsen für die jeweilige Situation ersetzen. Wer es allerdings so wie ich unterwegs zuweilen leid ist, ständig das Objektiv zu wechseln und damit seine Reisebegleitung zu nerven oder sich alternativ auf z. B. 17-50mm zu beschränken, dem kann ich dieses Objektiv nur empfehlen. Meiner Meinung nach ist Sigma hier ein sehr guter Kompromiss gelungen, bei ca. 300€ ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Viel mehr würde ich für ein Super-Zoom übrigens generell nicht ausgeben, weil ich für einen höheren Preis eine Qualität erwarten würde, die ein Super-Zoom meiner Meinung nach eben nicht bringen kann. Ich freu mich jetzt auf ein entspanntes Fotografieren im Urlaub, wo ich mir keine Teleaufnahmen mehr verkneifen muss ;-).

I have used it for over a month now and it's just super! The image quality is sharp throughout the range
Awasom Lense! Bought this Lense for my Nikon D5000 and it worked right out of the box. I have used it for over a month now and it's just super ! The image quality is sharp throughout the range, AF is fast and optical stabilization is effective. Also the build quality is commendable too. Bear in mind that this is not a Prime lense however quite frankly it's the best 3rd party budget lens for travel photography in the market. Just go for the yr 2012 model no 883306. Hear are a few unedited jpec quality pic from my recent trip to Ladakh taken with this lens.

Sigma 18-250 OS macro HSM
I wanted a lens I could use for video without having to use my large fluid head tripod. I have lots of good 2.8 and f4 Nikkor glass I use on my D7000 for video but I really wanted a walk around lens specifically for OS/VR for handheld video. I found this lens to be surprisingly well made for the price. Here is a Youtube 6 minute video I made with this lens: http://youtu.be/KcVhJSvhL6E If you've read the review at DPreview, you know that they think this is a better lens than the Tamron or the 18-300 Nikkor. In the first hours of use I found that the OS is very good on this lens. From 18 to about 100mm you get very steady shots with almost no effort, and with some good technique even 250mm is very good. The close focus (Macro is really 1:1) is also very good on this lens for insects and flowers and close ups of small objects. One of the things I like about the D7000 is its relative small size, and the Sigma is really amazing small for what it does. I have not seen zoom creep and its a little tight at about 135 IF you are not holding the lens horizontal. That is if you are shooting at something in the sky, up a building, or other high subject you feel the slight tightness in the lens but not when you are imaging level or pointed down. The mount fits perfectly on my D7000 and the control buttons on the lens feel substantial. I always use a hood with my lenses, but I also use a UV Filter (saved 4 lenses having filters on them). I opted for the Sigma DG UV, and the combination of the lens, hood, and filter gave no flare with the sun just outside the image (fov). I haven't tried it as a still lens yet, but as a video lens for a DSLR I highly recommend it. I use an external mic, but in my video test on youtube using the camera's own mic on auto gain it was pretty quite. It does focus very fast and accurately. The weight is such that I can carry my D7000 and the lens very comfortably with my Black Rapid Strap for hours (well at least two so far with no pain at all). The only weakness the slow aperture, but OS and the D7000 high ISO capability really make this a non-issue. When I get some time I will compare it for stills against my 12-24, 80-200 f2.8, and 300mm AFS. The few stills I took with this lens looked very good, but I shoot RAW files and have presets in LightRoom for my D7000. Depending on your specific camera and whether you are a JPG or RAW shooter could make a big difference. Over all, this lens would work for me as a travel lens from the few stills I've seen and its very good video performance. I would recommend this lens to a friend if he or she's needs were to have a good to very good, well built lens that covered a wide range of FOV's (Field of Views) for still and video imaging with optical stabilization.
