Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Users

[kikiaw]

Hi ClubSNAPers,

Since no one has bring out works from this wonderful piece of art, I decided to do so by sharing some of the pictures taken from this Sigma 18-250mm. I had this new toy only a week ago and I brought it to the Zoo n Bird Park trips during the weekend to played with it. I am very happy with the performance it produces... fast focusing, sharp image, super zoom range and nice bokeh too. I never regretted getting this lens. Definitely a good walkabout single lens for covering range from 18mm to 250mm in an entry-level DSLR. A perfect lens for vacations or trips where carrying extra lenses would be difficult.

Do share your work here if you are a Sigma 18-250mm user too.
C&C Welcome!

This is far more than what I expected from a walk around lens... quality is excellence.

cool! it seems to me that it is the photographer who did the nice work.. not the lens
in fact i was thinking of selling out my 17-55 IS & 70-200 f4L IS.. i'll try this Sigma on my 40D..and see if i can live with this lens alone ;p
can you post some indoor, handheld lowlight shots pls? how is the OS working?
how do you find it focussing in normal(average) indoor lighting, shooting kids, pets etc?
thanks for sharing..
