Lens: Sigma 28-200mm 1:3.8-5.5 UC Aspherical Camera: pentax k-50 Photo Location: Riga ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F5.6

full resolution here

after 4 months of testing i came to conclusion that this sigma glass is not sharp enough for detailed nature shots or cityscapes, especially in very sunny days. however it is quite ok for photographing people, especially in shade or cloudy days. i still haven't bought circular polarizing filter, which most probably will make photos better, but rubber hood i got a month ago works well to minimize the flare.

Traditional buildings huddling in the foreground and new buildings soaring in the background .... this is definitely an interesting photo of growth.

In interesting shot with old and new. Don't be too hard on your Sigma glass though. 28-200 is a wide range and it can't give you the sharpness of a prime. But those lenses still do a good job within their limits.

yes, this sigma is quite good for it's focus range, just not for bright sunny days yet decent iq starts from ~50mm and ends with ~135mm.
