Sigma 28 Review

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

This may be old news for photography enthusiasts but if you just got a Sigma 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 DG Macro or is planning to get one for your camera, here is a review you might be interested in. This lens has a focal length of 28-200mm and can take photos at 12°to 75.4°. The lens’ minimum focus distance is at 0.48mm making it a rather powerful lens for its price. Repro ratio for the Sigma DG is 1:3:8. Min aperture is f/22-32 while its maximum is at f/3.5-5.6. The lens is equipped with a 62mm filter and its dimensions are at 74 x 86 mm weighing a mere 0.4 kilograms.

This budget zoom is very compact and has optical quality even towards reaching middle range. Some lenses usually do not have a clear focus as you go further with the zooming, but this one performs well in this division. Several tests have been done to see how the Sigma DG performs and it has proven itself in all those independent tests –it is however your opinion that will determine the final judgment.

But basing on how this lens performs and on how affordable it is –this is truly one remarkable gadget.
