The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO lens. This lens has a large aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, a minimum focusing distance of 20cm (7.9..) and a maximum magnification of 1:3, making it ideal for close-up photography. Specially designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras this lens provides a high level of optical performance. Its design incorporates both glass-mold and hybrid aspherical lens technology which offers extremely high image quality as well as a compact and lightweight construction. Minimal vignetting and superior peripheral brightness is ensured. Special Low Dispersion (SLD) and Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) glass elements provide excellent correction of color aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. An inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for using the petal-type lens hood (supplied) plus circular polarizing filters.

I shoot a Canon 50d and have been using a 70-200mm 2.8 is lense for most everything. I wanted a wide lense for shooting groups of people without having to stand back 50 yards. This is a great lense for the money. Im learning to use it and learning to use it where its good. Indaviduals and groups of people its amazing...wide scenery shots its very good. Highly recommend it

I do portrait photography of children and families and this lens works perfectly for me. I used to shoot primarily with my 50mm f/1.8, but found I was running back and forth because it was fixed. With the 18-50mm, I have versatility. The lens is fast and takes beautiful, clean shots. I can't find anything to complain about. For the price, it is the best you'll find.

An f/2.8 lense for less than $500? Of course this is a great buy and fortunately it's a great lens too. The HSM motor isn't as fast or as quiet as the Nikon version, but the sharpness of the lense and the niceness of the bokeh is on par.

I've tried three copies of this lens. Two from Amazon. Both have significant front focus problems between 30-50mm focal length. It makes the close up "macro" functionality useless. Portraits at f/2.8 are useless because nothing looks like it's in focus. This is a huge disappointment because this is the only lens that I know of in this price range with a 2.8 constant aperture and HSM. I've sent both copies back. I also went to the local camera store in SF here, Calumet. They had one in stock. I tried it out and it front focused as well. It was definitely the closest one to being correct though, but still not acceptable. I'm giving up on this lens and saving up for the Nikon 17-55. Sigma says it can take about 3 weeks for a calibration, which pushes me awfully close to the return policy from Amazon. If it gets delayed for any reason and I can't return it to Amazon I'll be stuck with a bad lens. Luckily Amazon is very helpful with returns.

Got this lens couple of months ago for my D90 body. Absolutely love it!!! Build quality is great,price is reasonable,heftiness just about balanced with a D90.Having a blast taking close-up pictures of my kids with that 2.8 aperture. Only thing that needs getting used to is the opposite rotation of the zoom lens compared to Nikkor lenses.Otherwise this lens is highly recommended!
