## Description

Large aperture, stabilized, standard zoom lens

Review: Polyvalent et lumineux - J'ai acheté cet objectif pour remplacer le 18-55 du kit de mon appareil photo. Je suis satisfaite de mon achat. Points positifs : Très bon objectif, très polyvalent et lumineux, avec un très bon piqué. Points négatifs : A la prise en main, l'objectif assez lourd et j'ai trouvé la bague dure à tourner au départ. Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, je ne sais pas si ça vient du fait que je m'y sois habituée mais j'ai l'impression que celle ci est un peu plus souple.
Review: Gran luminosidad - De los mejores objetivos para mi Sony. Autoenfoque de mejor calidad y velocidad que en Tamron.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: EX DC OS HSM, what does these abbreviation means??**
A: EX is Sigma's pro series lens (called EX finished), DC means it is for crop sensor cameras (DG for full frame), OS stands for Optical Stabilization (Image Stabilization) and HSM means it has hypersonic AF motor which is driven by untrasonic waves to provide a quiet operation.

**Q: Is it work with Canon 5D mark II?**
A: It should work but it's not the best choice. The 5D is a full frame camera, and the Sigma is for APS-C sensors (smaller sensor). You will see vignetting (black area at edge of picture). You should consider the Sigma 24-60mm 2.8 instead, or check this list for other Sigma lenses for full frame cameras: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Full-Frame-Lens-Substitutes-Sigma/lm/R1XMV8PZXQALTP

**Q: Does this lens work on the 70D? Looks like it'd be a great lens for video and stills.**
A: Yes it does work and it is a great lens.You will be happy with the picture quality and sharpness.

**Q: Please tell me if this 1 more expensive lens could be used to obtain the similar quality images than 3 less expensive lenses that I am looking at -- 35mm prime f/2.4, 50mm prime f/1.8, the kit 18-55mm lens. I am on a budget and new to SLRs...thanks in advance.**
A: I haven't used the 35mm but i can assure you the image quality is better than the 50 f1.8 or the kit lens.  This sigma will serve you well as a starter lens and actually shouldn't be something you immediately feel like upgrading. Primes are well and good if you are ready for them but zooms are better for starting out.  if you test out different focal lengths you can find out what prime lenses will work best for you.  you don't want to buy a 35mm just to find out you'd rather have a 24, etc.
