| Latest Review Posted | Sigma Autofocus 75-200mm F3.8
I'm actually giving this 8.5. Was looking for an upgrade to my kit DA L 55-300, but not willing to part with too much money for those shiny f2.8s. So, I snatched this one up the moment I saw someone selling it.
For the price (got this for just under 100 usd in conversion), a damn good lens. It is as sharp as the DA L wide open, and just abit sharper at matching f number. Construction is very good, better than DAs, on par with the Fs and Ms, though I have yet to handle a limited. On the k-x the weight is just perfect, and push pull zoom is fun to use. Chromatic aberration may be a problem in some situations, but for anyone even considering this lens, I don't think it will be a big one. Color is slightly warmer than the DA L. The noisy autofocus is abit of a nuisance, maybe it needs some oiling or something, AF performance is no worse though.
Overall, I think it is safe to say it is a better lens than similar DA telezooms, but probably not as good as the limiteds. In terms of value for money, it is simply unbeatable. |
