  • Third-party but first class
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I was shooting for years with an 18-55 Nikon kit lens (on a D90); I chose to upgrade other parts of my lens family instead of the midrange zoom since it is a good quality lens for the price. But in a bad situation the camera made good friends with the pavement and the 18-55 caught the worst of it. What I was looking for that made me choose this lens: * a midrange zoom somewhere around 18-55 coverage, under $1k. I have a Nikon 55-200 and think you get better IQ by not combining the two ranges. * I've learned I prefer fast lenses since I frequently shoot in low light without a tripod and am a big fan of bokeh. * I often don't shoot in controlled environments so OS helps me get my shots. I've heard that the non-OS lenses are sharper, but I haven't noticed anything undesirable in the sharpness; and one shot you'd otherwise have missed to camera shake seems to make OS worth any loss in sharpness and increase in weight and cost. I'm extremely cautious about major purchases and spent months researching off and on. Nikon's options were more expensive, or were bringing me back to that 3.5-5.6 aperture which, frankly, is frustrating when you shoot manually 90% of the time and have to adapt quickly. Basically it was a battle between Tamron and Sigma offerings, and Sigma seems to frequently have the advantage in sharpness. Obviously both have their proponents but I have no personal experience with Tamron, so that combined with reviews led me here. This is my 2nd Sigma; I also have the 10-20 f/3.5 which is a stunning lens, and have shot with a Sigma zoom on a 35mm cam. While you will read a lot about quality control issues with third-party lenses, don't let it scare you off; just buy from a reputable seller and check the lens for any issues/decentering as soon as you get it. If you get a lens everyone else loves and you think is awful, swap it; it's QC. I'm still "learning" the lens since I've only had it about three weeks, but so far very impressed with it. The IQ is about the same as my 10-20, which under the right conditions will knock your socks off like a 2-3x pricier lens. Rich, realistic colors, sharp in the right places, and good contrast. Focus is fast and quiet (heard the Tammys sound like a dying robot). I'm obsessed with extreme close-ups of small things and like to get right in there with lenses, and have actually found you can get the lens to focus within its official max distance (managed about 8" from an object). You can get really stellar depth of field stuff with the 2.8 aperture, and it's smooth and even too. If you have a fondness for bokeh you're unlikely to go wrong. I'm a "serious hobbyist" I suppose, but this lens at this price would probably please a pro. I used credit card points to bring the price down which was a help, but I'd have paid full price for it. Pros: - overall image quality; good contrast, bright and rich colors comparable to a good Nikkor, good sharpness across lens - 2.8 constant aperture (once you've got constant aperture on a zoom you won't want to go back) - buttery smooth bokeh - optical stabilization - price to quality ratio Cons: - relatively large and heavy - stiff zoom ring. VERY stiff. I hope it will loosen. (I have quite small hands so it may be less trouble if you don't.) - easy to snag rotating focus element on your fingers if you're not careful about your grip (not a big deal though) - large filter size (don't let this put you off; it's not a reason to pass on a lens) - very minor con: for some reason Sigma lens caps have a nasty habit of popping off without notice. Keep an eye on it. The pros definitely outweigh the cons though. This was my top choice after months trying to manage with only a Nikon 35mm 1.8 (wonderful lens, not ideal for everything though!). The combination of sharpness, color/contrast, bokeh, OS, and price make it an excellent choice the vast majority are unlikely to regret. I certainly prefer it to shooting product photos with a wide angle (fun times)! Quick note: Sigma lenses come with zippered cases, not pouches like Nikon; they have stellar padding but are bulky. If you ever transport your lens in an individual case while shooting, I recommend having a second case/pouch for it. I got a Domke lens wrap for putting this in my converted messenger bag. ... show more

  • The Most Versatile Lens In My Bag.
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
The nice thing about modern DSLR's is that they come with a kit lens that covers most of the focal lengths you would typically need. The bad thing is that these kit lenses aren't very good unless you shoot jpeg's in Auto. My trusty Sony Rx100 m2 had fallen into disuse, so I opted to sell it back to Amazon recently. I think it makes more sense to focus on a single camera when you want to improve your fundamentals, and at any rate, my S7 is light-years ahead of my old iPhone in terms of the camera, so I was reaching for the RX100 less and less. The plan was to acquire a new lens for my Nikon D5500 that would be versatile enough for portraits of my daughter and landscapes as well as walking around Chicago or Madison, and I was considering a few. The most important feature was a constant aperture, followed by image stabilization. Nikon's own 16-80mm is prohibitively expensive for someone who isn't a professional photographer. I suppose I could have bitten the bullet, but all of the reviews said the same thing: decent image quality, but not a good value proposition. If I'm gonna spend $1000, it had better be a GREAT value. Tamron offers a 17-50mm f/2.8, but again, the reviews put me off. Everyone seemed to prefer the older model for IQ; not what you want to hear for a $500 lens. So I looked into the Sigma 17-50mm. In terms of IQ, it beats both the Nikkor 16-80 and the Tamron. It's just over 1/3 of the price of the Nikkor, and at the time I was shopping it was about $100 less than the Tamron. Every review singled out its stellar build quality, and IQ was very good to great at all focal lengths. When I got the package I was surprised at how heavy it was. This lens is HEAVY. It's a bit unbalanced on my D5500, but I expect to upgrade to a more advanced DX body in the next year or so, and I imagine a larger body will solve that issue. In terms of IQ, the only lens I have that can beat it is my Nikkor 50mm AF-S F/1.8. If I owned a full-frame camera I would probably never use another lens. That being said, a 50mm FX lens (75mm equivalent on a DX body) is not very versatile. Ditto my Nikkor AF-S 35mm F/1.8; phenomenal IQ, but not all that versatile on vacation or a day trip. I would highly recommend this lens for anyone who wants an upgrade over their kit lens. It performs well at all focal lengths, its fixed f/2.8 aperture makes it extremely versatile, and in terms of value for your money, I don't think you can find a better option. ... show more
