Sigma
The Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM is a versatile all-in-one zoom lens designed specifically for APS-C format cameras. This 11.1x zoom lens covers a broad focal length range from wide-angle to telephoto, making it an excellent choice for travel and general photography. The lens incorporates Sigma's Optical Stabilization (OS) technology, which provides up to several stops of shake reduction for handheld shooting. The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures fast and quiet autofocus operation, while the internal focusing design maintains consistent balance during focusing. With a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:3, it offers decent macro capabilities for close-up photography. The lens construction features 16 elements in 13 groups with 7 rounded diaphragm blades, producing smooth bokeh. Despite its extensive zoom range, the lens maintains a compact form factor with dimensions of 71 x 86mm and a weight of only 430g, making it highly portable. The 62mm filter thread allows for the use of standard filters, and the lens is available for multiple mount systems including Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sigma SA, and Sony Alpha mounts.
