Latest Review Posted | Sigma DC Macro HSM (Contemporary) 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 I bought this to replace my wonderful Sigma 18-250 (which my talented 19 -year old granddaughter got to go with the K5 I passed on to her). I use a K5ii, Lightroom, PS Elements and Topaz Clarity, and the LR Lens Correction set and Detail sharpening set put the 18-250 on par with much more expensive brands, and the same is true for the 18-300. The processing software isn't essential to a great result, but it provides good optimization for an already fine lens.
Both are about the same size and easy to carry. A few comments are that the K5ii and 18-300 seem a bit heavy, but I remind those folks that often that's all I need to carry.
When I'd like more image of a scene then the 18 allows, vertical and horizontal panning and PSE sticking solve that nicely.
See https://www.flickr.com/photos/94779902@N00/ for 18-250 samples. I'd provide a couple of 18-300 samples, but the link offered is unsuitable for my use. However, you can contact me at ramelcc@yahoo.com. |
