Sigma 18-125mm F3.5-5.6 DC

12 Jan 2005

I recently bought a Sigma 18-125mm F3.5-5.6 DC lens. It cost me just over £200 which is dirt cheap for a good range Zoom lens.

My initial reaction to the lens is favorable - though I have not used it much - it is a good zoom range and the optics seem to perform well. I did notice some barrel distortion and vignetting but this is to be expected on a low budget lens. The vignetting is easily fixed in the Photoshop RAW plugin.

I do not really have a good sample to post that was taken with the lens, the weather has been bad here for some time and I have been spending some time off work and off life in general being incredibly lazy at home.
