Cheap Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
This high zoom ratio lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras and capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto. Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and two hybrid aspherical lenses offer the utmost correction for all types of aberrations, and enables this extended range super zoom lens to be housed in a compact and lightweight construction of 70mm (2.8") diameter, and 78.1mm (3.1") in length, and weighing just 405g/14.3oz. The new lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem of digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7") at all focal lengths and has maximum magnification of 1:4.4.The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system, which prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal shaped lens hoods. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use. A zoom lock switch eliminates 'zoom creep' during transportation, a convenient addition when traveling.

somewhat dissapointed

in the advertisment it is shown that this lens will work perfectly with all kinds of nikon digital cameras but when i tried it with my d60 camera the auto focus did not work , so i gave it to a friend to sell it for me , after waiting for long time i was dissapointed .

Fine Lens

I've used this lens with my Canon cameras, both the Rebel XT and the EOS D30. Mostly I do sea scapes and boats. Some portraiture. I love it. It's light, resolution seems to be very good, and truthfully, I don't look for barrel distortion. I use it with Adobe software. I just purchased the

Nikon 300, so I'll buy one of these for the Nikon.
