Customer Reviews

Great lens for the price
I have written two reviews so far of this lens on my blog, and still cannot say enough good things about it. It has worked very well for me, enabling me to get some great moments with an elk in Rocky Mountain National Park as well as good shots of my daughter for her senior picture collection.

Nice piece of glass
This is a very nice piece of glass especially for the price. Would definitely recommend it to anyone on a budget. Shoots clear and precise, the zoom does have a little drag but no worse than the two Zukios that I have. Will certainly be my every day all around lens.

It's a good product and Great value for the money paid!
I bought this lens for my Olympus e-510 three months ago and waited to see its performance before writing this review. I hope it would be helpful for the readers.

First I must tell that it is fully compatible with my Olympus e510 and it is perfoming very well. If you have any doubt about its compatibility with your camera, I strongly recommend you to visit Sigma official web site to read the "zoom products'" specification table. You can detailed information about the Sigma lenses and their compatibility issues.

This lens's 4/3 feature empowers the zoom to a great extend, the 35mm equilivance of that is 110mm to 400mm. That means you can do anything you want with such a powerful zoom.

The picture quality is excellent, the lens has both Manual and Auto focus feature so it lets you to become the part of the picture. I bought my Olympus Evolt E510 with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Lens from Amazon.com. Then I bought Sigma 55-200mm instead of 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zuiko. I paid couple of dollars more but got 50mm more (100mm for 35mm equilivance or 4x optic) well and very happy with my decision.

It's a good product and Great value for the money paid!
